Default Old Mill Road Run
What a cracking day, nothing better then the New Forest on a hot sunny day in October, and a 10 mile road run to the sea and back!!! One of the best days out! Great selection of engines too!!!
Now some photos!

Ahhh yes the lovely Mclaren Showmans, I think it is very highly geared? Truly fantastic engine that.

I have it on good authority that the Mclaren is pretty much geared 1:1 in top!! Also remember hearing something about flat out she will do a good 30
