As per usual I was picking my Grand Daughter up from Primary School.
Parked outside a house that i have parked in front of many times.
This time there was a classic Jaguar XK150 in mint condition there.
Was a bit early so I stood admiring that stunning car in the sunshine. Suddenly an older guy comes out of front door.
I made some remark about how i loved his car and how my grandson would love to have seen the Jag.
He beckoned me in. In his garage he has a mint V12 E type and an MGTF.
Behind his garage in a carpeted lounge he had around 12 classic racing bikes, one of which was an ex Carl Fogherty TT Ducati
The guy "George" was 75 and he talked about his days racing in the TT.
What a wonderful 20 minutes that was.
He told me to bring my Grandson round anytime.
