Thank you to Dave and Chris for making it out with us today. We met at The Wheatsheaf for brews and breakfast. Turning left out of the pub we headed up over the moors, past 'Toads Mouth' (a rock formation that, guess what? looks like a toad), down 'Surprise View' into Hathersausage, Winnats Pass, more views down Mam Nick and to the Travellers Rest for lunch. Shame it wasn't yesterday as the High Peak TVR club met there then. It was nice to have no roof or doors on and to get the wind in your face at last, just the puddles to avoid. Can't avoid the sludge though hey Dave? Chris? A bit of tyre kicking in the car park revealed the highlight of the day, Dave's new Omex throttle bodies, the first one's to be fitted. It was worth coming out today just to see these. Giving more power all through the range, Dave had quite a big smile on his face. Stu Finkangel, are you watching? Who is next? The Travellers Rest After a hearty lunch, Chris was at the right side of the Peak District to head off home, whereas Dave and us cut across country into a milky sun towards Buxton. Dave peeled off up towards the Cat and Fiddle road and we went for a pose through Buxton and Bakewell on our way home. The driving has been lovely today with sweeping bends and far reaching views in dry weather. The roads have been a bit drier and the driving a bit slower so I even managed not to go sideways too. Next Sunday I think there is a classic car breakfast meet at Middleton Hall, North Warwickshire. If the rumour is true hopefully we can go there and have a run back via Ashbourne and through the Peak District on the way home. Keep an eye on the events page.

I popped up to the factory today ( Saturday) to collect my long range fuel tank. I arrived at the factory gate at 12:03 to find it locked so I went to leave the industrial estate to find Simon locking up the whole estate. After a bit of a panic he opened up the gate and after a brief conversation he offered to open up the factory and get my tank. So we returned to the factory and he found my tank and straps. I wish to give a good and public thumbs up for his good nature and offer an apology if he was late for dinner.

Hi Mick, I appreciate you were asking Michael, but the wheels on mine, chassis 35, are Triumph PCD. I'm trying to locate some Triumph 41/2 J wheels but not having much luck at the moment. Are you planning any work on Chassis 22? Cheers Gary

Chassis no JB W7 22 is hanging upside down from my garage ceiling. Michael, are the wheels on your car Triumph or Ford pcd? Regards Mick.

Best of luck Mark and we need you out this year in whatever you decide is best

1300 is afternoon in my books!

I enjoyed the first series and in thriftiest episode or two didn't really gel with this follow up. However it's easily the best to series of 2015 if not longer.
