UK 2025

A car centric trip to the UK for Matt and Silas interspersed with family and friends. Built around the British GT car Chamionship race at Silverstone , we visited the Coventry Transport Museum, British Motoring Museum and the Haynes Motor museum. In amongst that we saw Alan in Bishops Stortford and Chris and Alex in Lemmington Spa - Headed south to Ames and James - We spent time at the Porsche Dealer and got to go through a door marked 
“staff only” into the workshop. Silas talked shop in the shop with a guy in charge of quality control. Also we drooled on the Aston Martins across the street. Everywhere we went we followed the speed limit. Especially on the tight country lanes. Had cider, lasagne and much chatting. Stumps disapeared. Saw Frankie for lunch, Ali and Steve for breakfast and in London we met up with Glyn for dinner, Granville for a handshake and Christian and Ellie for a lunch that has taken 40 years to plan.

The “ No Cars” album is just that - in the order of Vermont - London - Rugby - Somerset - London. 

Separate albums are the 3 Car museums, The GT race at Silverstone with a Supercar show, and a visit to the Porsche dealer. The videos at the race need the volume up all the way. Obvs.

Here is a Youtube link to all the race videos in one video 



And here is a 1 minute video from the dash cam as we passed Stonehenge





Album links below. Most of the museum car pictures are followed by a picture of the information card. Dashcam video will be posted soon.  
The GT race has videos from the 3 corners that we spent time at. It was the greatest thing ever.
