Bourne BRM Day

I live in a small town, in Lincolnshire (also known as 'The 1950s'). It is a cultural backwater. No bands come here, not since Jimi Hendrix anyway (true). But it's cheap.
The next town along, Bourne, is even worse, but for one day, every now and then, Bourne celebrates being the former base of World Championship-winning car manufacturer, BRM. The last time they did it was a beautiful day in October, last year.
Me and my boy went along. It was packed.
Graham Hill drove to a world championship in a 1.5-litre, V8 in 1962. His son, Damon - also an F1 World Champ, of course, drove the actual car through the packed streets. G

    I hope you stopped off in Twenty on the way to Bourne G to soak up the atmosphere!
