Hey guys

unfortunately I won't be able to make it tomorrow as my coop is still in the spray booth getting resprayed.

Hope all goes well.

Just in case anyone was heading via north east section on M25, it closed clockwise between Enfield and M11 (junctions 25 to 27)

Guys,

It seems things are against me making this event grr

I was due to be off last night but then had to swap the day so I could look after Trish last week, post opp.

Then this week I realised my TAX disc had not arrived. I had a major effort getting them to send me another, they though I was trying to pull a fast one! They did send one though smile

So, I was going to travel down this morning straight after my last night shift. Unfortunately last night was busy as hell and coupled with the wind my hay fever is going mental too, so I've had eneugh and have come home to go to bed.

I'll set the alarm but don't count on me making it, I feel rough as a ................. (Insert appropriate metaphor).


Gone Audi mad!

Good to meet everyone today and chat about cars. Thanks to Paul for getting me onto the track, enjoyed that. The row of Coops were getting quite a bit of attention and rightly so. smile

Excellent day out - shame the morning was cold and a bit wet. Sorry I didn't have time to speak to many of you - I was dragged off to see all the museum sites.

Good to see so many Coupes all lined up in front of Concorde!

Bet the guy in he Ferrari will give the test hill a miss next time! laugh

Looking forward to the next one - might have some pics to post from this one later, too.

Fantastic day out! It was good to put faces to names! I'm a bit gutted as Porky asked if I fancied the test hill and I declined! After watching the other coops go up I wish I had now! Next year Porky? Did anyone else do an AMG hot lap? Pretty amazing!

Like everyone else Jean and I really enjoyed the day and meeting up with new and old friends.
Thanks to JBT for diagnosing my gear shift problem and to Pondman (again) for letting me measure his bonnet etc. to ease my paranoia over my bonnet and front bumper alignment!! All roads lead back to Jason the mechanic who resprayed the front of the car and fitted the paddle clutch and b*ggered up the gear linkages!! I'm sending the lads round on Wednesday!!

I missed the flying Ferrari but lots to look at as usual. See some of you at Wings and Wheels and the September Honnington Fair.

The flying Ferrari. Reckon that is probably more than a few scratches. Loved to have seen his face as he took off.

Good day out

Plenty of coupes shown.

It looks like there will be a second part to go up later.

I unplugged a row of electric cars that nobody was using.

What a fantastic day, wish I could have been there.

Made my day at this http://www.rotarydavidhack.org/classicmeet.php on Sunday pretty ordinary. At least our weather was a bit better than yours.

But then, I did see the only currently flying Spitfire in Australia, in the air, and the only flying Fiat G59-4B in the world.

I am certainly envious of the fantastic Italian cars that were displayed at Brooklands.
