The Victor
Almost there! Dropping back a gear, the engine growls as we labour up the final climb. Stomach knotting, jaw clenching, my hands lock around the leather encased steering wheel. Strains of classical music crescendo as we crest the rise and there it is! In all its glory. Unchanged since that last visit. Exactly as I left it. Indelibly etched in my memory.
