yes @NigelO it was @Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Secretary that taught me the rule 'why choose when you can have both' and I am a good girl and stick to it rigidly. I think ice cream was involved that day too! I sat in Sainsburys car park in my Westfield, ready for the off, AndrewBC fired up his 3.5 V8 at one side, and oh my, AndyR fired up the Cobra 3.5 V8 at the other side. I could just have sat there for the day dying of CO poisoning, but hey what a way to die. Andy's very, very lovely Cobra, brand spanking new and thank you very much for bringing it out today. Nigel, Andy and Ann, Andy and Andrew met us at Matlock Nigel was on hand with his usual photography tips 'Get on the floor, Julie' We wiggled a route for about a hour North which included the Snake Pass and to be fair it was expected to be pretty busy on a sunny, summer, Sunday afternoon. We arrived at the Snake Pass Inn, which is always quiet because the walkers don't come in until mid afternoon, after their walks. Snake Pass Inn A lot of the trees have been cut back to reveal a bit more of a view from the car park. It made sense for AndyR to leave us here as he has come from that direction, so the 4 Westfield's went chasing cake, and it put up a bit of a fight. The new cafe has opened on the Monsal Trail at Millers Dale, so we went there, but the car park was full with nowhere to even shoe horn a few little cars in. On the quieter and pretty roads we back whacked across towards Monyash to bring us to Tagg Lane for cake and/or ice cream. Thank you everyone for coming all the miles that you do in your beautiful cars, it has been a lovely day xxx

Visiting @Chris King - Webmaster and Joint North East AO At his posh highland retreat

Another great day out in Derbyshire, spoilt in places by the sheer number of cyclists (and at one point, idiot car drivers too - one car driver actually got left behind by a cyclist down a hill....) Great seeing Andy's immaculate Cobra - makes a change from "the other Andy's" V8 (although the Cobra definitely needs a lot less silencing... ) Julie's intended cake stop was thwarted by a full car park, so a detour to Tagg Lane was swiftly executed - the choice was ice cream or cake, but Julie substituted "or" with "and"...

Slipped anchor at 05:30 this morning for a lovely little run around north Wales. Since the revenue-hungry North Wales constabulary decided to spoil the evo triangle with average speed cameras, the above three towns have become my B-road choice of triangular excitment. This mornings run was particularly nice due to the superb weather. As ever, I had the roads to myself for the vast majority of the time. The only downside was the Ponderosa wasn't yet open for a pit stop on the way home.... Mornings like today are why I have a Westfield.....

Lovely to see you all and thanks for the shortbread!

Lovely little run out this eve over Portsdown hill........ That was until all but one bolt on my water pump pulley decided to leave the building (managed to make it home though luckily)

We had our own Cobra Corner on Tuesday.

Just home and sat down in all 217 fun miles today. Unfortunately Les and his son were unable to join us at the last minute so 3 cars headed off from Grantown East on some cracking back roads for an excellent run today A big thanks to @Chris King - Webmaster and Joint North East AO And his good lady for welcoming us and topping us up with tea and coffee , hope you enjoy the butteries and shortbread 😁 to Gary and to David for their company , banter and local knowledge of the back roads and I must admit to “being temporarily unaware of my location “ for most of the afternoon which culminated at David and Elaine’s for coffee before Gary and ourselves headed for home, splitting again at carbridge and Gary heading for the Laggan road for the third time today!!!!! We turned off and headed for home .... but .... confession #2 we stopped off at Grantown East for a cheeky lemon meringue pudding pizza mmmmm before our last leg home Anyway thank you all for making a great day out

Back home after a full day. Great to see you again Chris and the digs were certainly impressive. Good also to see Gary and Trina again and to meet David for the first time. Thanks all for a great day.

Another brilliant day eating our way round the Peak District Thanks everyone.

Great to see you too Chris, and thank you both for the coffee. Now you've got rid of us, you can enjoy the rest of your holiday 😁

New tent.

I know, frustrating. And I thought I was being clever getting it on Prime today, ready for the morning. Itonly sunk in when I got the "it's out for delivery" email, just doesn't say when, could be any time today. Oh well, at least I can crack on with the Honda!

A very early start from The South Coast up the M5 & M6 to Heysham for the 2:15pm ferry. Arrived, unpacked then headed to the Mountain Road and The Crag for dinner. Weather looking good for the next couple of days.

Lovely! And thank you so much for an unexpected treat 😁👍 As always, every time I happen to team up with any member of Clan McWesty, it’s a warm welcome and a friendly smile. Such a fantastic group and a credit to the club.

Really enjoyed today guys. Thank you Gary, Gary & Trina. Glad you liked the wee mystery trip towards the end. Can't wait for the next run.

Thanks for a great day out and remind me that my alternator belt needs tightening before the next trip 😂 I really couldn't believe that idiot car drive @NigelO ... even when she eventually overtook it was at the worst place when there had been plenty of other, and wider, parts of the road beforehand!

A good couple of hours spent at Caerwys Classic Car Show today, well worth the five pound to get in

This morning at Garforth Station.

Sorry can't make this one. I've got to pick my daughter up later. Weather is looking good so enjoy the run out.

from Scarborough.

from sunny Scotland and happy hunting when the time comes, meantime don’t be afraid to ask any questions we’re a friendly bunch here, like a big family rather than just “a club” as for power ( and I’m putting my head over the parapet here) you don’t need masses of power to have a very quick car, good, balanced suspension is worth quite a bit of horsepower, as said earlier come along to whatever events / meets are near you and get a feel for different options

I'll be coming along. (sent you a reply earlier)

That's great Gary. I'm going to try to make it to Grantown East early too, so I can have a much needed coffee before we start! But if we don't see you at Grantown, we'll meet you at Newtonmore Co-op next to the Balavil Hotel. David

We are up for this see you at Matlock.

It's smaller and rounder than I imagined it would be.

Could this be Mr kinder's next purchase?

Them seats are a horrible colour

Hopefully I’ll make my first meet of the year 😊

In sunny Madeira Island mountains testing the latest mapping of the MegaSquirt

Damn, double booked myself this morning. Going to have to give this one a miss. Had forgotten and arranged an Amazon Prime delivery of some stuff for work.
