Motoring down to the museum

Kattegat's husband here again, let loose with another guest blog post. That's because BB and I were allowed, whilst on holiday in the Cotswolds, to venture into that boy's own domain, the motor museum.

From the outside it looked, well, modest is a good word. As in, maybe too modest to fit a whole car inside. But much like the TARDIS, it must be significantly bigger on the inside, because its seven rooms house a fantastic collection of vehicles and motoring memorabilia.

All the cars had 'drivers'

The rooms are themed according to age, with the earliest cars in the first room, so following the winding route through the building is like traveling forward in time. And although there were, necessarily, a limited number of cars, there were some crackers and every inch of available space was being utilised.

Ooh, I do like a nice Jag!

As well as cars, there were motorbikes and even some caravans, kitted out inside with appropriate period fittings and paraphernalia.

All in all, both BB and I were very impressed, and it was fun to go round with him comparing notes on the relative merits of the various cars.

I had one of these! Same colour, too.
