Wow!! What a day. This was my first meet and I can safely say that I enjoyed it immensely. Only one bad point was that I got sunburnt. So I am now officially the colour of a cooked lobster . Was great to finally meet the people that I have been speaking to on here for over a year. I think I'll bring my own food next year though . Terry

Hah. Quanturbo is back in the good books again, sort of...
What happened was an odd chain of coincidence: boost pipe blew off and as far as I can see walloped the ECU/engine connector hard enough to glitch the fuel pump power; that spiked the fuel pump fuse... weird! Second year on the trot you've broken down isn't it Neil I'd get yourself a new mechanic Good to know it was something simple in the end. Brooklands 2011, what a day, great turn out, nice weather (except the dust bowl ) new faces and the regulars Jake has got videos of the Coupe hill climbs so he'll get these posted up later, just on our way out to the Quantum kit car so another busy day planned.

Neil, according to my dad, its a late 40s Vignale-bodied 166MM (Mille Miglia)with a 2 litre V12 engine. Somewhere in the region of 150bhp but on a very light body. There's a nice vid on youtube .
Who am i to argue?

Thank you gentlemen: it's for sale on Pistonheads but I fear it will be outside my price range. (On DK's page it's 'please enquire' which usually means if you have to ask, you can't afford it...) But it is *is* lovely...

He wasn't Bob, he set off but his daughter was unwell on the way down so he had to return home.
16VT and X1/9 1500
We must all do our part for the planet. I unplugged a row of electric cars that nobody was using.

Phew, I knew I was tired but I was sure I hadn't seen Rob, or his car. When I got home I was so tired I went for a little nap, woke up 14 hours later!!

Superb day out! 420 miles and not a hiccup from the coupe. The misses was waiting for it to breakdown or something fall off No faith in my mechanical skills. Good to put faces to names and got some good advice too

Brilliant day out Apologies to those who were there and I didn't say hi to. And for those I did say hi (and catch up with), was good to see you all again. Was trying to ease the new mrs into the whole concept of being interested about motors, etc. without looking like a total nerd. She had a good day out (so I'm told) so next time I'll be a little more sociable!! Incidently, who was the bloke next to me in the Star Wars shrine who likes Leftfield? Very shiney motor! I half expect it to turn into a Tie Fighter and take off

Looked like a great day out That pumped up X1/9 is a mate of mines - It was done by the guy who started the restoration of my 1300 hence the exact same shade of green. Supercharged Volumex engine Lovin' that Verde Ithaca Murcielago - must be a green thing for me!!!
