The photo gallery for our penultimate driving tour of 2019  - the "Only Fools & Horses"  tour of the New Forest is now available   on our website.

This is a joint event held in association with our good friends from the Isle Of Wight Jaguar Enthusiasts Club. More photographs will be added as they become available - we hope you enjoy following events and wish the group continued good weather!

Like most things in life, websites need a refresh from time to time and we decided it was time to update our group website. The new-look Home page is designed to work better on Smartphones and Tablets as we have become aware that increasingly members are using mobile devices rather than desktop computers to browse the site.

The original design was meant primarily for desktop use with a mouse, so things needed to change to make it a better experience for mobile users. Additionally, keeping the Home page updated with news, blogs etc had become a chore as the process for doing that was entirely manual and labour-intensive.

So with the above in mind, what started out with the intention of a minor tweak became a much larger piece of redesign work. Just like repairing a single fault on a classic car, once you start fixing one thing you inevitably start noticing more "areas for improvement" and thinking, "I might as well  sort that out too while I'm here".

I was looking for ways to display news and blogs in a more modern, attractive and mobile-friendly way - and to have them appear on the Home page automatically as if by magic when published, instead of continuing the time-consuming and fiddly task of adding each one individually (when I remembered to do it). Success! I found an app that does exactly what I wanted and set to using it.

​And so the half hour job took most of a weekend in the end - but hopefully you will think it was worthwhile and better still if numbers of you start visiting the site more regularly.

Some screenshots from the mobile site are shown on this page.

Huge thanks and congratulations to Emily-Fleur Peake (aided and abetted by Young Paul Cheetham) for all her dedication and hard work successfully growing our Instagram presence - we just hit 1,000 followers!

​This is great news as Instagram is popular with younger folk so will help spread the gospel to a whole new generation of classic car lovers.
