Sunday was a blast! It was time for our favourite ride of the year - The Santa Ride in Olney 🚘🎅🏻🎄.
We’ve had a great run without a hitch, hundreds of people out waiving - so lovely to see the little children, parents and grandparents enjoying a bit of festive cheer and a good old dose of Christmas tunes 🥰
We even got a little video sent to us - see in the comments below as we drove past 😏
For those of you that are new to our page, here’s a little bit of background to this Santa’s “sleigh”…
‘When I was a little boy, I loved the TR6 - I always dreamt of owning one! And although it took me a few years to purchase one, I can proudly say, that I have and continue to create some of my best memories in that car. From attracting my first serious girlfriend (who is now my beautiful wife), touring to Le Mans Classic, being the occasional ride for the local Newly Weds, or just acting as my go-to work car, my TR6 aka ‘Little Tommy’ has been most present in my life.
It has even become the most iconic ride in Olney. Every year I pimp it out with some loud speakers placed on the boot and sit Santa Clause on the rear as we drive around the local town playing Christmas music and waiving to all the children gathered outside their homes with their hot chocolates. It’s just a little tradition that we’ve been doing for over a decade now, to make the beginning of the Christmas season’ - Paul Tombs, Creator and a founder of Facts Disc.
