A few pics from me. Bagpuss and gadgetman Julie and Glen ..... i think we would all be at home more often without these fine people Always watching..... A great day, as always Happy Christmas

Tickets bought for all three days. See you there. Happy Christmas, to me.

We met in Ashbourne, Trevor, Martyn and Sue, Scott, Dave, Ian and Lee in the Alfa We had donuts, as warm up for doing them later . Trevor had been up since daft o'clock making them from scratch and take it from me they were still warm and scrumptious, thank you Trevor. The kids came to photograph us and they were offered donuts too Bagpuss joined in to the Christmas fun Bagpuss' dad kindly fetched a car-less Dave with him. This will confuse you, a very young Trevor came. Moral of this story is don't put photos on facebook that you don't want Glen to grab and play with. We all took refreshment in the M&S cafe, enjoying looking at the stress on the faces of the shoppers as we relaxed. Soon time to depart, Scott was ready Trevors passenger gave me thumbs up to go We left the retail park in Ashbourne Waved at the shoppers as we went through the town and hit the open road There would have been more photos on the move as it got really nice when we were on the tops but Glen dropped the camera into the footwell. I am glad it didn't rain anyway up there, huh, did it hurt your nose when it hit too? Trevor and Snowy were at the back, with Lee following and taking photos, as we arrived at The Travellers Rest. Come on then Lee, let's have a photo of your nice Alfa, since you were kind enough to join us and bring your excellent photography skills. It rained all the way up until we got inside the pub and then the sun had the audacity to come out. Moral of this story is don't go up on the high ground when the forecast is dry. The Travellers Rest Good job they had a drying room, ooh it was lovely and our table was right next to the fire Glen and Martyn had some warm up juice And we all enjoyed our lunch. The chef and bar staff came out to take our photo, they loved it. I had a really good close up look at the traffic lights after we went for fuel It was raining again here, so bored with waiting Glen took a selfie. Arriving at the Santa train in one piece, just, we took up our usual parking spot in front of the steam engine Martyn and Sue photographing you, photographing me And Dave was enjoying his long hair rather too much, have you still got it on now? you settled into it like a 50 year old in a granny frock The kids loved the cars and the Santas, and especially the choccies that Glen was dishing out to them. I was still raiding Trevor for more donuts A great big thank you has to go today to everyone's family, we changed the day at the last minute due to the weather and it cocked up a lot of peoples plans. You have put your car and club first at a busy time of year and it is really appreciated. I hope it was worth it and you have all enjoyed the route and atmosphere as much as we have. If you need to escape next weekend we are having lunch in Bakewell, tin tops are welcome, German sausages are on the menu, gluten free is catered for. Have a great Christmas everyone

Morgan chassis and then even darker school and go for Westie clams too

I'm looking at a cradle design, instead of the rubber one that's under tension Like your stand bases, Morgan chassis next?

See you've treated yourself, and gone for that new design exhaust mount. Shame they don't do it in black Could wrap it in carbon effect vinyl I suppose!

Forget about zzrs you need to be looking at those pirellis in the list

Tickets and camping booked for the three days. Better get my car finished.

So, getting the new boots fitted tomorrow, therefore had to get the car up in the air , to get the wheels off, clean and also get the old weights off and de-glued. Wasnt wanting to 'damage' the new flooring with axles stands, ( but it shouldn't do as each tile can take more than the weight of the whole car, I made some plywood plates to stick the stands onto, which is carpentry and its something I am not that great at, but works fine. So , to my local guy in the morning as was too busy yesterday. Decided to de-autumn the car , with so much leafage stuck in the rear arches , so washed all the arches out and ready for the refitting soon. Also fixed my new carbon wing mirror backs on , which the wife noted and explained that they were for xmas . She is going to wrap them up on the car and stick a bow on them

Doesn’t look like there’s much taking off? I guess they must be shut for Xmas

I am sure I have seen you today Dave , at the garden centre, the shopping mall, the High Street ..................... I bet the kids loved your outfit. Looks like you all had a fantastic ride out today

Couple from me....

I have just got the back end and rear side panels to go. Front end and interior are done You can never have to much carbon

I took some great aerial shots of Gatwick the other day.

Perfect for the coming winter frosty starts: Mountain Equipment Annapurna down jacket, Large (bit too large for me hence sale @ 5ft 11 with 43 chest) For health reasons, Don't look up current new price! This has been hanging in wardrobe a few years so £60 (plus transfer fee) only to you As new condition, as only worn couple of times.

Apparently film crews favor fast SUVs like the Cayenne for filming high speed car and motorcycle video. A German film production company, however, has seen the light and gone bike-engine Westfield. More photos are here and a video of it in action is here. -John

Is that under silencer mountings Adge ? I hope you like my plywood stand bases ? I am rubbish at wood stuff. I had to 'redesign' our shed as we were having an extension built. I had to move the door from one part to another. It inwardly collapsed and had to buy a new one

Oddly enough been working on different designs today

Oh, for flips sake. I go into the garage to take a photo of the tyres I am selling and find this Was told I was lucky she wanted to completely wrap it in sellotape ...................... grrrrrrrrrr

Hope I can coincide a few more days with you Russ! Also after your issues with engine I am fitting a bigger oil cooler...

Motivation!

That car is stunning, not normally keen on black but wow!

Its a Caterfield

Kevin we will be going for a big fry up and maybe some cake later on.

Bit Rude but sure weve all seen worse . So in the interests of Christmas Mirth !

It wouldn't be the same without you

Remember this is a public forum..... if you open your curtains now there are a couple of police cars pulling up ......

Another fantastic day! Mind you, I don’t know how anyone copes with long hair!

I have got some Wenol metal polish on a recommendation. Comes from the far east and is damn good. Cost £7 delivered off ebay. Just ordered a second tube as didnt want to tell everyone about it until I had stock

Hurrah for Camskill tyres . Boo to DX delivery . They are rubbish and liars . Still a day later than I 'allegedly' signed for they made it

Fingers crossed weather will be like this year's...

Think so. Will be looking into this and hoping for support across the entire club for the track day and the sprints volunteers and the socials. It is a great weekend away

Nice one....I am just starting on the transformation of my GRP to CF, so it will never be to this extreme nature...but I do like a good weave on show!

Wash your mouth out
