Title: Newlands Corner this morning
Post by: Manky Monkey on January 22, 2012, 09:35:33 PM
Mentioned this a few times now-
Taz & I live in the village of West Clandon, just outside Guildford in Surrey. A mile or so up the road is a well known local beauty spot called Newlands Corner. A large carpark on top of a hill with fantastic views out over the Surrey downs. It's got a cafe, visitor centre & loos, but more importantly it's very popular with bikers & classic car drivers on Sundays -as well as joggers, dog walkers, mountain bikers, horse riders etc.
When the weather's good there's always something interesting to see there.
This morning was bright & sunny, a lovely crisp Winter's day, & the road outside our cottage was full of bikes. So I took a quick drive up there on the way to the workshop.
Today's offerings-
A super clean 50s Ford Fairlane.

Modern Royal Enfield Indias, (there's an Enfield dealer in the next village).

Just as I was leaving a second Indian swung in.
Think it was on an Irish numberplate.

I guess that makes it an Oirish Injun.
