Ah, thanks Woody!

Nothing too outlandish. 1275 A+ with some under bonnet mods along with 5 speed box, lowered, stiffer suspension, discs etc etc etc. The modifications list is long on this one!

I’ve had it up to about 60-65 thus far as I’m still treating it as settling in. I don’t want to be belting along when the nut I forgot to tighten up decides enough is enough.

Sounds great, I'll look out for you! This is worth checking out if you like a modified Minor!....

Now that is a project! Makes mine look like child’s play!

We’ll be at Beausejour, feel free to pop by for a warm beer!

Thursday morning EuroTunnel.

Can't wait, fingers crossed for not too much rain for the drive down

What are you in?

Interesting evening at our house yesterday.

Some fantastic looking metal (and composites) in this thread. I'm most jealous as unfortunately I'll not be going in the TVR due to the manifolds being away getting skimmed flat. Instead I'll be in something dull and German.

Lovely cars enjoy


For TV coverage where is it being shown? And does anyone have a list of the categories racing /timetables?

[V12 Migaloo]

Lowdrag, just stunning, I'd have any of those, but the XKSS I drove was what I imagined a wheeled version of the spitfire to be like... so I'd take that one please.

Was taking this down,

Could not get a tune on the engine. Tried very hard.
Looks like the carb refurbishment failed. Air coming in around the spindles. ARGGH. Thanks.
Cannot rebuild them in a day.

So changed to this.

Never mind,
Crossing 1pm tomorrow on the Tunnel.

The queue for the Portsmouth-Caen ferry tonight was very impressive with some lovely kit

Sorry, not for sale! Sadly the two on the left (XKC 004 and XKD 505) aren't mine, but the XKSS is!

My favourite of the week so far; not mine, if it’s yours then top marks!

We were on the 09.20 Eurotunnel on Thursday in the Vanquish. Great collection of cars at the terminal and on the way down. I had to be back in the Mayenne to collect my daughter so couldn't join a convoy sadly.
It was a blast seeing all of the cars though.

In line for Portsmouth Caen this morning - distinct lack of interesting cars, must be too late.

Took 90 minutes at Caen to show passport - they are French tho

[SFV]

8.15 am Portsmouth to Caen ferry Thursday morning, literally hundreds of classics queued up - amazing sight
!

But I agree on passport control - must have queued for an hour on the french side.
