Here’s a ground level shot. I don’t know why the colour looks a bit different here (must be my old phone); but it was definitely burgundy, as seen in the drone shot.

This was a meet of the Yorkshire pre-war Austin 7 club, but there were all manner of cars there - seemed like heaven for folk of that particular bent. Here’s a shot of most of them, in case anyone is interested:

3 points for the Austin Seven

There is a Bristol 401 or 403 in the big picture and a very rare (43 built) 405 drophead in both pictures. Very nice!

Ok, let’s sort out uploading a video first.

You need to host it on a site - either YouTube or Vimeo

Your video will them have a URL you can copy - https://hostsite/myvideoname

Place that on a line all of it’s own in your post and it will appear complete with a display box:

Example

This URL on it's own line gives this

Welcome to the Birthday Challenge @Fin24

2 points for the bridge and river.

We will let you sort yourself out with the video, it looks like you even jumped the gun a wee bit when it came to uploading the screenshots, you need to let the images appear in the right-hand message pane (if uploading on a PC) before you press reply.

Looks like you are moving around a bit - Marlow and Falmouth :slight_smile:

  • Bonus for long exposure (2 seconds or more) showing light trails in each direction

I thought you might like this one as a police car very kindly travelled down the London bound side at the time of this shot hence the strange blue light. I do not expect any extra points for the police car. :rofl:
