@Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative just checking your eyesight hasn’t failed 😘

Hi, i have been given the nod by Mrs A. See you on the 23rd at 9.

Something to give you an idea of the show content/size https://facebook.com/events/s/kimbolton-country-fayre-classi/2207114689635351/

No probs, thaks for the reply?

Thanks for letting me know. It's in my diary but I don't know yet if I can go. David

@aeg yes it is, I moved Rita from here to park with the genuine disabled driver of the MGB, but only for a moment to take the photo and there was a couple of spare disabled spots still available.....officer Gilbert 🤣

I was a lot like you, Gav, in my younger days. From 16 onward for about 12 years I had 26 motorbikes - at one point having 4. I just got bored after 6 months. Regret selling most of them, and not keeping them longer to let the relationship blossom. The one I regret most was the Moto Guzzi Mk1 LeMans, not because it was the nicest bike to ride (I had others which were better) but I feel I could have grown into it. It was such a good looking bike, and people still talk about them with reverence. On the subject of buying again, I had a Montesa Cota 250 trials bike which I sold and some years later bought the self same bike back.

Next year, next year, it's always next year with me. Never happens. Need to sort that out , erm next year...

If they're anything like your 20's, I'll pass. Bank of Ingland? Really?... 😄

You have beaten me by some margin @BigSkyBrad I came to 4 wheels late in life, wasn't until I past my 4 wheeled test when I was 26. So Just 5 ( 6 with Westy but I still have that ) cars and 7 motorbikes and 3 Robins ( depends if you call those cars?) I regret selling one car and just one bike, they were a Volvo 740 Turbo estate and a Honda VF 750 FD. Have been looking at those on for sale adverts and both are quite silly money today.

I've had 48 cars in my tIme, and 28 motorbikes, and regret selling all but three of them. The three I don't regret - a Viva HC 1.8 (had the power of the 1.3 and the thirst of the 2.3), and a 1980 Honda Prelude and a 1980's Toyota Cressida, both of which had more bog than steel in their bodies (and I put more bog in to sell them both).

@Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative is that a disabled parking bay that Rita is resting in!!!!!

Rob, I would do, but I've got my son here this weekend and I've promised that he can go swimming tomorrow. Thanks for the heads up though. 👍🏻

Dry run is now complete, route is awesome, minor tweaks required for fuel stops, a couple more pictures below to wet your appetite’s 😎 fingers crossed road book available for distribution by Malvern show to any tourers attending Malvern, otherwise the road book can be posted out or handed out at the start point on tour day 1 👍

See you there. It’s been a while guys. Andy

Matlock Bath was also very busy with motorbikes @Rob Hunter - Club Secretary We had a much needed lazy day at New Bath Hotel and took the back route home to miss the massive queue of traffic Glad you had a good morning out, what a great attendance! have a good day tomorrow x

Yes, agreed. There are some aspects which need tweaking. Given your comments I'll spend a bit more time working on what the results were within our current rules as there is some possibility to score in a different way when Competitors are split. Then circulate to SSOT, and Competitors if required. Given that we are running a different system this year, towards the end of the year, I'll be sending round a Questionnaire to ask if Competitors views and what to do for 2025.

I was really hoping to sell everything as a package. The diff matched with the engine helps make the whole package more desirable. I bought it off someone who had used it once on track in a Westfield 250, once they'd realised the ratio was all wrong for their application.

For my 10 pence worth I think the scoring system still needs to be fine tuned, on my entry for Gurston I entered Class 11 - Modified Cars - Specialist Production Cars any capacity and both Mark Claxton & Mark Bishop entered Class 4d - Road Cars - Specialist Production any capacity, it seems a bit unfair that I took points away from both Mark's who were on road tyres while I am running on slicks.

Sorry I missed you off David, I'll check for others as well, but it will change the scores as I just used those in the WSCC class to score.

Certainly, anyone in any car welcome at the car museum.

A few of us who enter wscc and msc were at Gurston but placed in a different class

@DIY-Si we will be going to the A47 Autojumble tomorrow (I'll post it up in a bit) if you fancy that. A bit closer and normally a great day out

Your bikers round stoke way must be a different breed!😉 (Can’t beat a bit of police academy though!)

I bet you had a great time -
