A decidedly chilly but beautiful day for a drive out this morning! A few of us met up early at the services for a refuel as normal, only to be joined by a Mclaren, Ferrari and a load of TVR's who were heading to various events. After a chat with a young man called Oliver who is currently building a Fury and happens to work for Gardiner Douglas, we headed up to Monyash to meet Lee via some amazingly quiet B Roads. We all warmed up with a brew and a butty while having a chuckle about the fun and sprited drive up, these cars are just made for these kind of roads! After breakfast, we had planned to head for the Bentley Brook Inn for lunch, but enroute we found the B5056 closed for some reason.... I then hatched a plan for a little photo opportunity instead 😎 I'd found a particular road on a solo run some months ago and given the roads were so quiet, I thought I'd take a chance that a little location was available for us to park... amazingly it was! What a brilliant day filled with fun roads, amazing cars, stunning scenery and all shared with a great bunch of mates 👍 See you all on the next one! Rob

Good to run my local 10K with @David lear (&Marilla) today

You missed the pic of the drivers-

Essex and Kent monthly meet, had a few new guys along. Not too shabby a turn out.

A selection from today’s meet at Upton Bridge Farm Shop. Liked the Opel GT I must say, hadn’t seen one before. I have some more pics but seemed to hit a size limit so will try to add these afterwards. Seemed to be alone as a kit car, hope I didn’t offend 😉😉

The Peaks 😍

More pics. Didn’t know what to think about the last one; MX-5 with a boat wheel as a steering wheel!! 😱🤣

I did wonder where @HB46443 was 😉

I'd get a forum ban if I had shown my Tinky Winky 😂

Following Bagpuss’s great thread I thought I’d post up some of our travels too. Also shared on instagram @yellowsuperseven Iam joining the southern kit car club guys for my first euro trip in the newly built Westfield. We are Setting off for the euro tunnel at Folkestone tomorrow afternoon. There are 8 of us in 8 sevens. Literally counting down the hours now, cannot wait to get going

Oh nooooo. Damn, that’s not a good week.

Mid Kent and Maidstone club are organising a tarmac auto test on 19th Nov 2022 at Ashford in Kent. I’ve entered. Never done anything competitive or like this. Should be good fun day out for £35. be good if some more Westfield can join too. have a look on their website for entry details www.mmkmc.co.uk

Yes it was Middleton Top at the Carsington Windfarm, fab place for some photos 👍 Sadly I couldnt stay out all day, so no cakes were harmed in the making of this particular Peaks run.... we did manage to christen the cars with plenty of cow muck though 😂

It looks like you had a great day out, although I am very concerned about the lack of cake, I thought that I had trained you better than that 😛 The roads sounded good though and I think you have been up to Middleton Top for the photo's? What lovely weather! Don't forget to submit your best photo's for the 2023 calendar!

The camera never lies 😉

Haha, thanks for the Telly Tubbies edit @Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AO, love it! 😂😂😂

Had a little run out to Upton Bridge Farm shop today with my little co-pilot, as the weather is so nice. Good turn out with a really nice variety of cars there. Will post some pics up elsewhere.

Nope, just an 86-88mm one from my XE days. (Which I have to say gave amazingly good results for something so simple! (But then I guess, my basic bores were in pretty good condition)

Oh dear, get well soon!

Thank You all! oh yes, without this Forum dont know if I would be brave enough to take this challenge ! and after first test, I am continuing to use the knowledge and experience of Members there! as there are showing some issues that needs the road trips to show, so this autumn going to be "ride and watch" as mechanics use to say

A cracking day out , very autumnal and fresh this morning as I headed to Huntly for fuel and avoid the closed road I’d normally use then it was off to Aboyne on lovely roads only seeing a couple of cars and a tank !!! On the way. At Aboyne the outer layer was cast off and William arrived, after a wee blether it was time to crack on over the old military road to cairn o mount and down to Clatterin Brig cafe for lunch. Then back up cairn o mount to the viewpoint for some pictures before a cracking run back to Huntly where we came on a looong convoy of camper vans ….. so attack mode was engaged and some fun was had on a superb stretch of twisty tarmac lol. At huntly we separated for home, a glorious day out.

3 cars have been wounded, sympathy required. 1 . Rocketeer gone into body shop for cill repair. 2. went to Essex club meet this morning and on the way home Westfield got rammed by a Corsa up the chuff so fuel tank holed and rear panel damaged with multiple splits and scratches. 3. Shortly afterwards Wife came home in the daily Audi and reversed into neighbours car, resulting in minor dents and scratches to both cars. So went to the pub for a couple of beers and now going to bed before any other misfortunes happen.

Sorry, I have the dreaded lurgy. Not feeling very well at all. Have fun. Luke.
