I took Renée down the M2 yesterday on the way to Lydden Hill race circuit to watch classic bike racing. A little noisy at speed with the front windows open so I took my hearing aids off and it was then acceptable. About 65mph all the way down with a few 70s as well. She seemed happy enough. Got tooted at by the friendly driver of a BMW118d (I wonder if he knew we'd bought one of those recently too) which brought a smile to my face. By the way, also at Lydden was scooter racing, something I'd not come across before. In my youth I owned five Lambrettas, not a lot special about them, but I'd never seen them ridden as fast nor corner so enthusiastically as yesterday. Very entertaining to watch. £17 for seniors to go in - hence I guess the sparse crowds - seemed a little steep though.
