Despite giving the train all the advantages Cap Slow romped home to victory in his classic Jag XK yesterday, beating Jezza and showing that classic cars are still better than classic trains (Tornado for the sad types) and it seems that Rich had some problems with the old bike (no not his wife) but no one seems to have got any photos of that so I don't know what it was.
I guess classic trains aren't quite as quick as the modern ones. When's the new series starting anyway?
When was the UK speed record for trains set?
A quick google tells me this:
I think the new XKR or XFR are both quite a bit quicker then the old XK120 as well.
End of June apparently.
Not very well planned this is it. First one of the online retro communities (not retro-rides one of the others) put up a story about Jezza and co buying cars at an auction.
Then PPCmag shows pics of it, and where they took them to compete in the Historic rally of (I think) Majorca, now their speed challange game for the series is leaked and the result with it.
and then Jezza got stuck in a bog.
