Sorry all - going to have to bale out tomorrow as the whole household caught the dreaded cold bug confused end of last week!

Sorry to leave it till last minute but was hoping I'd improve and be well enough to attend.......

Therefore if anybody else is free to attend please contact Darren.

Morning Darren
I'm on for the 09:30 meet but I have just realised that I shall have to leave technically before the show starts at noon. Therefore if there are any other takers for the limited tickets I am prepared to park outside the entry field. Happy to talk your guidance when we meet.
Cheers
Greg

It wasn't exactly pleasant weather but was very surprised how many people did turn up.

I'll add the few pics I have when they've finished uploading

The PH Stand



One handed pics with the other hand holding an umbrella is not conducive to great pics



Some from the rest of the show field

Happy campers - curiosity got the better of me



Yep - down with the kids (hanging stuff showing how low........)



Anyone for a quick game - 501 start



Lots of things come in threes



(I have a real affection for these cars - grew up with a later model ferrying me round as a kid - RWD in a nice small package)



Wasn't a warm day so probably not HG issues





Never sure about these - the "London look"



I like the wheels - different and fresh





Not so much the grill (having said that I have a black grill on a Black BMW 7 series so maybe I should shut up)



Jaaaaaaaaaaaaag (really clean inside and out)





Alpha Beta........... (cannot remember the last time I saw one of these - actually I can but that's another story)



Nice all round condition



Crushed teddy bear interior and everything colour coded - great 80's look (must share a picture sometime of a green Monza one day)



Goin' raaaaacin (sorry I like motorsport where they just turn left)



Huge Q's here for ice cream.....



P6 - has V8



Ashley Banjo and his group playing in the tent behind



Diversity on display - Sorry

According to the info sheet - the caravan came first and then they matched the car to it



Lastly a friend's car that I hadn't spotted arrive

Hi
Well that was er wet!
Nice to see those who turned up and sorry had to leave half way through the taking the gazebo down, I just think the wedge didn't like the wet smile

After the fuel pump switch burning out as we were in the ring and then the battery not charging light coming on at the end prompting the sharp exit. That light went out as we got on the main road! But the car ground to a stop in Bury as the two wires I had just shoved together to get the fuel pump to work fell apart. But after fixing that we then got home ok.

Thanks Darren for all your effort in sorting this good but soggy day.

Only 5 out of 12?

Well done to Darren for all the hard work and commitment. All those who were decent enough to turn out and support him should be awarded a PHEA Rain Medal.

Thank you to everyone who braved the terribly wet weather for what proved an enjoyable day out.

I was pleasantly surprised 6 of us turned out - I can't thank you enough. This just meant it was even more of a social occasion smile

It's been the first very wet show since 2012 and the first wet Lavenham for about 5 years, so we can't complain too much!
Please don't worry if rain stopped play in your P&J. Hopefully see you soon at another Event thumbup

The show itself was down on attendance, but there was plenty of interesting stuff to see.
I shall post my photos in due course smile

We shall of course return to this wonderful show, when hopefully the usual sunshine.

The next Event in the PHEA Calender in our FINAL Show of 2014 - Classic & Sports Cars by the Lake on Sunday, for which we still have a couple of spaces - PHEA Thread Here

Thank you again to those who made it to Lavenham, and I hope to see you all again soon smile
