Evidently Bacardi is safely home... unless he posted those pix from a layby using a Blueberry (sic)... it seems that Douwe Egberts Continental Gold wasn't quite right. Which coffee did you use this time? spin


I peed in it this time. Made it home no problem thanks. Temp' stayed were it should but when I checked the header tank it was low again, no puddles though confused. Looks like my 40 amp fuse has blown which would explain why the fans didn't come on. However, I couldn't get the damn thing out and then it started raining again, so I gave up and stuck it in the garage grumpy.

Sorry about that mate. I didn't get your best pose. Don't worry, next time I'll make you look like George Clooney... or Naomi Campbell hehe.

I don,t think my camera liked the weather either (or I,ve altered something without knowing)


Check you haven't put the gray balance to tungsten or fluorescent?... either that or it may be knackered.

Looking at the Photobucket ones I'd guess it's the white balance setting - eg set to 'tungsten' instead of auto or daylight.

Gah - Bacardi evidently finished his toast one minute before me! banghead

Thanks guys, I,ve just had a proper look at the camera settings and as suspected the settings have been altered from auto. Problem solved.

Are'nt we a load of die hards? 16 out of 15 cars, quite an achievement, considering the weather forecast!

A great day out, though. Thank god for the gazebo!! There was talk about Patrick developing it for next year. A couple of extra rooms AND HEATING

We just got everything packed up before it rained again.


Ferg, bill's in the post (plumbers rates)

Thanks John for another well organised gathering.

I was talking to a few of you lovely people that went to Lavenham about superchargers for the Monaro.... Well Vauxhall now have done an official version and Capa have an after market option. Wortec have a s/c conversion as well and is also working on a turbo charger for the LS1 which aparently has almost no lag.

I also have some pictures that I will upload tonight.

Steve, Instead of [IMG] pictureaddress [/IMG]

I think you need to put [pic] at the beggining & [/pic] at the end.

Most enjoyable day in fine company of both people and cars.

One oddity I spotted was the Renault Megane 1600?, bog standard factory issue on an 05 plate. What the heck was that was doing in the show as a 'rare breed' rofl

A fair few other vehicles 'on display' which also pinched valuble space IMHO.
