A great run out yesterday…… there was a photographer out near Ribblehead….. not often you get the chance for a few ‘action shots’ 😉🏎💨💨

Quick one-minute video from Sunday https://youtu.be/Brm4aZq5TdE

Some photo's of the cars driving through Matlock Bath @Glynn Walters @Glynn Andrews @ben1975 @Big Andy

thanks for a great day and making the mnr welcome

A load of cars in the distance, half a finger over the camera and @Julie Hall - Joint Peak District AO stood in a field..... David Bailey has nothing on me! 😂

Collected on Friday afternoon, start of a drive home to Paisley via a night in the Lake District.

I've got 4 flat tyres for sale... anyone interested? No pressure to sell

Thanks chaps all emails received by team will reply in due course with rota etc

@NigelO now that is one good piece of footage, 3D it shows the scenery off well as well as the cars, how lucky we are here in the Peak District to have you THANK YOU @Labrat I have been for a swim in Matlock Bath today, the traffic is slowly flowing and we came back through Bakewell, not busy there either, only slight delays due to the constant use of pedestrian crossings, surprising isn't it?

Tickets booked for two caravanners, plus volunteers for Sat through to Monday, emailed organising team 😀👍

Tickets booked, coming Saturday, home Monday. Also emailed organising team.

Booked weekend camping tickets for my family and emailed stoneleigh@wscc.co.uk for setup volunteering, thanks 👍 I'll also be bringing caravan on Sat

Looks like a good run out. Sorry to have missed it. You were brave going through. Matlock Bath on a bank holiday A couple of weeks ago there was a Corsa on its roof in that exact spot. No idea what they did to get it there in that state?!

Sorry for confusion see clarification here :

10 cars met at McD's on a warm and sunny Easter Sunday, 9 Westfield's and Andy with his son, Josh in the Porsche. Excuse me while I have a Porsche moment. Josh tried the Westfield's for size, just in case dad wants to buy one 😉 Parked at McD's After Nigel fine tuned my route 😁 he then declared that he had bought the drone with him and if I could find some quiet road he would film the cars for us, it is rude to refuse so here we are. Mine All of us After the filming we got a clear run up Crowdecote, came back round on the new road and landed at Hulme End where we just about managed to fill the car park up. At Hulme End Bonnets came off Car park Big Andy and Debs were waiting for us, they are supposed to be at their caravan but managed to sneak out and meet us. Over in the red corner Martin Glynn A was bribed into revealing his super charged Honda engine for us to feel inadequate over Nigel was checking the weight of his bonnet so he can decide if he wants a carbon fibre one or not😉 Painting carbon fibre is not a crime and Nigel's car looks lovely for it. It is a religious day so Rob was blessing Glynn. We have been blessed with quiet roads and great company, but if you all don't behave yourselves this will be the future Thanks for a great day out everyone and thank you for your comments and photo's afterwards, it makes all the effort worthwhile xxx

As usual, an excellent day around the Peak District - warm and dry, not too many cyclists and the only caravans were already parked up out of harm's (and our) way. Three photos from the drone - might have some video tomorrow when I can edit them to make a decent minute or two.

Yeah I was tempted to go, but haven’t given the car a proper going over yet

My understanding is it won't be until the closing date for volunteers. Book your own places either day tickets, or camping, (which includes day ticket) direct with Stoneleigh. (I've just booked my camping pass). Yes, we will all have to pay this year. Our Treasurer is working on something where we can help support our volunteers this year, but needs confirmation which due to the bank holiday he won't be able to speak to the office till Tuesday. There won't be any cash refunds, but we are looking into some kind of voucher/credit for the WSCC volunteers. Precise details as soon as we've confirmed.

In good company at Newlands Corner today. Lotus Drivers Club had a meet. Mostly Elise derivatives but a couple of early Esprit models too.

What sort. I knocked up a frame of my roll bar and windscreen made from wood at almost the right angles. Covered it in 3mm ply and did the bendy bits in cardboard then covered it in cheap duct tape. Lathered that in furniture polish then laid up a thin shee of fibre glass on the mold. Offered that up to the car to make sure it fitted then tried it to size, laid the top on the angle of the windscreen and put a lip on the back to slot over the roll bar. Not bad for someone whose never made anything from fibre glass before

A cracking blast up to Golspie track n show this morning with Scott and the bairns, lovely weather a wee bit o cake and home again

Quick local blat yesterday

Just too nice not to! 😄

Finally all back up and running!

First run of the year.

Cheeky run out in the sunshine 🌞

Went to Thornton Le Dale, saw Derek but he was busy.

Nice 130 mile breakfast run out today and met a load of you guys from the Essex/Kent section 👍🏼☀️

Went for an ice cream with Mrs A.

First decent roads since I bought it back in October

Hey everyone, I know my kits, but there's never harm in learning more and I learn so much from your build posts so keep them coming! I've been helping out my neighbour (who is also our client) with his Robin Hood repairs and I've loved every minute of it, I am insured to drive it and have been out for a couple of blats - even though it's my first time back in a manual since passing my test many years ago 😄 so yes, before you ask, I did stall it more than once hahahaa. On a serious note, this is just an example of how important it is for me to fully learn about what we insure because just selling a product isn't what we are about, we are so proud to be a part of your community, tag along to meets and hang out with you at events - because that's what the kit world is about, getting out and enjoying the cars and their journeys. But here we go, my little gearbox change adventure! https://blog.aplan.co.uk/robin-hood-gearbox-change/ Please share your builds below! I love to see them! Carlie P.s. see you at Stoneleigh

Went out for a quick blast this morning as weather looked good…… came back three hours later only stopped once! (small bladder!)😃
