Drive it Day 2017 Abingdon Market Square
​A total of 14 vehicles turned out for the meet in Abingdon Market Place, including 2 guest cars. The splendid array of Minors attracted a great deal of attention from the public who arrived in good numbers to admire, ask questions, smile a lot and remember when "I used to have one of those". We were blessed with fine weather and the coffee shops around the Square did a good trade whilst people contemplated. For some of us there were excellent and unusual views from the roof of the County Hall Museum. A dozen vehicles took part in the early afternoon run and we passed through or touched a total of 15 villages around The Vale of White Horse. The end of our 42 mile route gave a scenic swoosh along the edge of the Berkshire Downs as we headed back to Wantage. We finished at Millets Farm Centre where we were able to park up together before taking 'Tea', having a stroll around and eventually heading homewards.
