[928uk] 928uk 26th Anniversary

[Todd Gibbs]

Being a local, and having driven the route (episode 100 in my 928 journey) I can vouch for being able to do both Classic Motor Hub and Bicester Heritage in one day, with the bonus that you can drive the “famous” Harry’s Garage roads en route.

Imo MotorHub is more interesting, but that depends what Bicester has on that day…
