I was really hoping to be with you all this year but I've just had knee surgery and can't drive for another week.I hope the weather stays fair and I look forward to seeing loads of photos posted here on PH.
Have fun! Andy

Tom - where are you, I have the choice of driving a 390SE up there from Reading or a Merc Viano.

If you need a bit of passenger comfort and you are near my route I could pick you up.

I have an 1800S Mk IV which is off the road.

Very kind offer Russ but I'm on crutches at moment and I don't think my knee would be up to a long trip, even as a passenger in a Merc.I'm also about 35 miles south of you but maybe we can hook up another time. Would love to see the 1800S.

Not in the last few years Colin, I wish I knew how long I would be out of work when I was made redundant as I would have done the job then.

Russ, to be fair, you've had plenty of opportunities to undertake the work in the last 30 years!!!

Colin, yes I've seen it on the road, when I worked with Russ in the late eighties, it was for some time his daily driver!!! But that's a long time ago!

[geeeman]

im hoping to drive up to this event to have a look at some of your lovely classics (no TVR to drive up in unfortunately)

[Grantura MKI]

Mine will be 6thou away! Arriving in a tin top. Being there and supporting the event is all good,
Best,

[the other tim]

I have a set of 4 Appliance slot mags (very similar to Wolfrace slots) 6"x 14" 93mm backspace 4.5" pcd (ie should fit Tvr) taking up space in my garage, need some polishing although i'm sure Andrew could make them look nice!!!!!!

Can bring them to the pre 80's, if anyone's interested then please pm me.

Or Anyone suffering with OCD

Looking forward to Sunday a shame some cant make it that planned to do so.
Had a great day yesterday at Beaulie Auto Jumble and met some great TVR Characters
bumped into Daniel Nash which is always an experience and encouraged him to try and bring the Le Manns Grantura up to the Pre 80s one year its in pieces as the moment having the gear box sorted and a few other bits following The Classic.
Also our largest German early TVR Car collector great to meet you Klaus and maybe see you Sunday.

Anyone planning to meet up in some service station or other up the A1 for a mid way coffee.

[prideaux]

[Astacus]

Ah, OK since you were coming in from Kent I thought you might go M25 M11 A14 etc, which is my route.

See you there then. I will be leaving about 6:30, its about 3hrs for me.

Anyone else going up the A1/A1m

Thanks just leaving
In 30 Years and 35 to 50 thousand miles a year I have had my share of tickets but never had one on average speed cameras I wonder do they ever work.
Have a Safe journey everyone.

[jackwibble]

Great turn out at last count I think 45 pre 80's and 20+ newbies couldn't stop long so just a quick general shot but some great cars to look at.

[alphaone]

Many thanks to Geoff for organising a great day out - much appreciated,

[GPW41]
