This last Saturday I did a nice drive in my Birkin with two members of our local British car club, both in well restored Austin Healy's. We took the desert route through Lucerne Valley from Victorville, up to Big Bear then down through Oak Glen, ate lunch in Beaumont, them drove back to Victorville. I was a little concerned about going up to Big Bear with all the snow and skiers, but the roads were clear, just some runoff and cinders in some places, and the skiers must have already been on the slopes as traffic was light.
Anyway, at lunch I mentioned that this "blat" had turned out better than I expected, and the other two guys had no idea what I meant by "blat". So is this a term only used in conjunction with Se7ens? Also, is the term reserved for more of a "spirited" drive than a casual tour?
Finally, whose Caterham had the front wishbone failure that Magnus posted pics of in the Album section? :shock:
