Flying Scotsman Rally

Posted on March 31, 2011 by James Ewing

Tomorrow sees the start of the third Flying Scotsman Rally. It’s an event from Brooklands Museum to Edinburgh for pre-war cars only. I am navigating my friend Peter Little in his recently purchased BMW 328.(picture above)
Having driven the car today to scruitineering I am very impressed with it’s performance, fast and nimble with amazing brakes and handling. Very different to most vintagents. It must have been the McLaren F1 of it’s day.
It was good to see old friends again and there was a buzz of excited anticipation in the air. The next three days should be great fun. Fingers crossed for good weather!
