Default Rusty visits Circuit De Reims

Just back from four day trip to Circuit De Reims, France. This abandoned race track once held 12hr races the Jaguar C types with Sir Stirling Moss had great success. The race circuit is now public roads but the start finish straight still has the original grandstand. Our trip included Rusty my X300, XK150 and E type. All cars broke down at some point but we fixed roadside and got home in one day. Trip was fun and raising money for hope house childrens charity.

Just about the same place I parked my Bentley Continental R in 2008.

Oh what fun! I can tell Rusty is happy again, to be out and about with his (much older) siblings. He was just a bit put off with your attention diverted to a certain lovely Double Six! For a good cause too. Well done, mate.

The Bentley gives the X300 some close competition in the club (Rusty notwithstanding).
