Sadly, 5 week old baby somewhat precludes this trip. Next year however, assuming there isn't another one floating around, I am definitley in. I have wifely permission and everyfink...

Wifely promises that far in advance are worth less than a Greek tax return.

You mean you didn't specify the PDK one?

PDKs were only available on 7.5 tonne upwards.

Nest year; next year...


Anyway; I still don't want to go in the rain. Anyone want me to drop a fully-loaded N24-prepped van at their gaff this afternoon so I can go home and watch it on the telly?

Diary dates for June!

To assist with planning your precious free time:

Saturday 22 June - Kings Lynn Classic Car Auction - info

Friday 28 June - Mayfair Beers - a return to the Friday night slot, so leave your suit in the office, and also the 'farewell from London' for brother Louiebaby, as he heads off with his family to the South West.


Lists in due course.

[V8mate]

The classic car auction adds a car or two each day to the listings. This rather appeals today...

[V8mate]

Uh oh - hang on. Capri with 5.7l Chevy conversion

[V8mate]

Mayfair Beers! with added 'Balkan Disco'!

It's time for another Friday night out and this month's get-together marks the occasion of fellow Threadist Louiebaby's departure from the city of smoke for a new rural life down that Devon way.

So do please get yourself along to wish him well on Friday, 28 June at our usual venue: Coach & Horses in Hill Street, just off Berkeley Square, from 5.30pm or so.

And as it's a Friday night, let it be party night

Could work, check with V8Mate... He might have to edit a post or three...

The date has been in the diary for six weeks.

I'll make July too.

It'll probably be a Thursday.

[V8mate]

As I mentioned in the Winchester, I can't make this Saturday's classics auction at Kings Lynn due to the late distraction of a Le Mans trip.

If any of you are still making the trip, there's an eclectic array of metal in the offing.


A hearing-aid beige Allegro estate (fitted with an early LPG system?)






A 4.2 S8, to be sold without reserve (what's the worst, etc.)





There's about a thousand old Jags...


And there's Land Rovers for Loon and his (alleged) brother

I thought I was in the last week but it turns out its the first week of August.

jeremyc said:

and quite likely in July.

Or maybe July beers will be in the first week of August

An August heads-up: there's a Tweedesqueopen day on the 10th that might make for a good Thread gathering.

I'll probably try and make it along ...

When he can't even reply to a text message?

Apologies G but I have had a lot going on recently.

There was a Rapide at PH Friday Service few days back. What a pile of fail. The Panamera suddenly made so much sense.
