Went to watch a test on the Flying Scotsman rally (Endurance event in Borders) - fantastic to see 7 litre 1920's Bentleys being thrown around the mud!

This finishes at Gleneagles tomorrow - if you get a chance to see the cars you wont regret it.

Over 100 mainly prewar cars - includes over 20 'proper' Bentleys.

Bet that is awesome to watch :)

Dread to think of the value of those cars combined! :o

I really admire the drivers / owners who are prepared to take cars worth £1/2m plus out on wet, muddy roads rather than keep them cosseted inside.

They were generally really going for it - much wheelspin, crunching of (non syncro) gears.

When the 6.5 litre Bentley (2nd pic) took off from the standing start - the ground fairly shook!
