Another year over and time for my traditional calendar post. Compared to the previous years, 2023 was a rather bad year from a “driving-my-TR7's” point of view. Even with one road worthy TR7, ‘t Kreng, I only managed to take her out for a drive five times. This lack of use was solely caused by a lack a time. Hopefully 2024 will offer more spare time to use ‘t Kreng, do some more work on the ’76 car (maybe even finish it!?) and start the DHC’s repairs.

So as 2023 draws to a close I decide to compile my TR7 calendar using a selection of pictures from my favourite drivers car, ‘t Kreng! Most pictures being taken during the many trips I enjoyed with this car in my home area and abroad!
