Rotary Day -2025; Saturday, 12 July 2025

[Casey]

Well, 116 of the planned 140 rotaries turned up to provide an awesome display of varied cars, on a blazing hot day too! It was great to see so many familiar faces, plus some I'd only met virtually and some completely new, such as Roger Worthington-Ellis, with his lovely white FB. Sorry that I didn't get to spend much time with everyone, the day went so quickly and I had to leave early as I had an appointment with my newly arrived 2nd grandson 

It was an ~280 mile round trip in a very hot car for me, but the FB didn't miss a beat, whether it was cruising at 70 (ish  ) or stuck in crawling/stationary traffic. On the way back home, I was stationary on a 4 lane stretch of the M25 for around 10 minutes, after crawling for a further 10 minutes and left the engine running as the temperature gauge was sitting happily on its normal 1/4-1/3 mark. When the traffic eventually started to move, a car in front of the vehicle I was behind took ages to restart his engine. Plus, 2 lanes to my right, in the overtaking lane, a large BMW SUV didn't move at all and put on his hazard lights. As my lane eventually got on the move, the BMW disappeared off my rear view mirror, still stationary, with hazards flashing.

Modern cars, eh 

Dan (Dr. FrankenRex on the RX-8 OC) has created a shared Google photo album where anyone can post up their pictures fromthe day. The album can be found here:
