Scotland 2018 with Gary and buttercup Geoff.. Awesome days..

Great idea Ian - here are the shots that I submitted - most are Lee's (I was usually driving at the time...), but a couple are mine The Ed's job must have been very difficult. A suggestion for 2020 - why not do a weekly calendar - that way you can choose 52 shots

Submissions not in: @syman84 @Jim cunliffe @Mark Redpath - WSCC Membership Secretary @Julie Hall - AO Representative, Peak District AO@johnev

Here we go then, these are my calendar photos but brace yourself, one of them is of Glen driving!

File limits have had to be upped following the release of this thread. The first person to trip the existing limit? @IanK (Bagpuss) The first person to trip the previous limit? @IanK (Bagpuss) The first person to... you get the idea

plenty for a 'week to view' calendar, or publishing in a WSCC photo year book.

...theres a wealth of cracking photos on this thread, so we couldn't stand in the way could we

In Calendar: @skida

Crikey.................... so many fantastic photos. Perhaps the website needs a few rotating new photos when you go on the front page for potential new visitors ?

There is a recession coming because as mentioned the cycle is about every 10 years, except austerity may play a part so it may not be as bad as predicted as pricing, interest rates, wages etc have been depressed for quite a long time What will happen is that Brexit will get the blame no matter what deal or no deal we end up leaving with and I'm for a no deal WTO exit. We are net importers of stuff. We are the 5th biggest economy in the world and we have money to spend. WTO says we can buy from anywhere we choose, the EU says we can't. If we can buy "Product X" from anywhere maybe we can buy it cheaper than we could by following EU rules. This could help lessen the effects of any recession as we may be able to keep the price of goods down. Democracy in action...

And all completed by Friday lunchtime . Pretty happy with the floor. Seems a lot warmer than just the rubber sheet I had down ( which I left down underneath as a membrane ) So, its about 16mm thick to the concrete below now . This should keep the cold concrete from condensating when the air warms in there now , so the humidifier has less to do.

Given that the calendar competition rules exclude pictures that have been t have been previously shown on here. Now the calendar has been published with the usual fantastic pictures in, I though it a shame that all other pictures that have been submitted don't get seen. Hence here's mine submitted this year. I hope others will post there's below too! (I'll apologise in advance @Chris King - Webmaster and Joint North East AO) if this starts to make your servers, creak ) May I suggest to keep file sizes to 1000 pixels wide! I’ll gladly supply full size images from mine on request via PM. Visit to the Evo triangle with @westyjord87 & @Greenstreak-Andy D September 2018 Most pics taken by me. The few of me driving were kindly taken by @Greenstreak-Andy D

Just let me know when you want it picking up

No doors I’m afraid, do have another hood though. (it took about three or four hoods to find one that fit best!)

Yours FOC when ever you want them Stu - you’ve helped me enough with bits over the years!

Thanks for all the messages. Two days of liver pickling completed... no regrets, just big smiles

Great night great food great company...... Cheers everybody especially Little Kev

He likes his monies worth.

You're welcome Jon

Blimey ........................... we need smaller photos and more of them or a calendar that hangs from floor to ceiling !

Why oh why are there only 12 months in the calendar year and so many wonderful photographs out there. They are great photos Ian and it's a very good idea to show them all, perhaps we can have a collage in the next magazine so members who don't use the forum can see them too.

Wow, what a fantastic turn out today, I love catching up with everyone so thank you all for coming along. It very much felt like a Westfield gathering as we had so many members come, padded out with the Burton Car Club it has been a very sociable day, brilliant. There was a distinctive lack of Zeros though, which is a shame for the factory when they put so much effort in to the open day. Meeting at McD's was Syman84 with young Archie and a very young Olivia in tow, that's what I call making it happen against the odds, so well done there. BillyPee, Santa Andrew and Elf Clare, then from the Burton CC were Michael and Martin in the Ferrari and Alan in the Cobra. We drove in a very unusual convoy of tin tops and mixed kit cars the short journey to GBS. We were soon joined by Dave and Ian in their Westfields, then Des and Debs, BugMan Steve, Barry, Rebecca and Andy, Martyn and Sue and Chris all in their tin tops. That made for 17 members of our club all in one place. The sun came out and the wind dropped making for a very pleasant day. RobinRedSpider was a complete lightweight and stayed in bed recovering from his hangover, but we shouldn't mention that should we At GBS Santa Andrew and Elf Clare Batman Santa Dave and Ian arrived Bagpuss on the bonnet Sunshine is great unless you want a photo The Germanic BBQ, these people are the most wonderful family. Dave tucked in too, they were very tasty sausages, covered in currywurst sauce and served with fresh cobs The GBS crew made us very welcome as ever, with the German Sausage man and his family filling us up from his BBQ. There was warmed red wine and German Beer on offer for non-drivers. Then it was inside for the cake moment, Rebecca was torturing herself deciding whether to have lemon or chocolate cake 'follow me' I said, we will have both and some of those mini Christmas puddings too. Next Simon lost his car keys, well in charge of 2 kiddies you sort of have a lot on your plate. 'They will be in your car', and they were, of course they were, but we won't mention that either stick to winning Novice championships Simon. The boy racer fraternity arrived on their way from Mansfield to Newcastle on a charity run, not the sort of behaviour that gives sports car drivers a good name, but wow, what pretty girlfriends they had, I am talking model good looks with figure, hair and skimpy dresses to go with it. Glen is complaining that I didn't get any photos of them but I am sure somebody did. Next I rang the windmill place to book us a table and they said they were very busy. It is a small place and very popular so you must book in advance. Not to worry, plan B was engaged and we went to the Antiques centre, which is always a winner. Martyn and Sue, Chris, Andrew and Clare in another strange convoy came with us on the short journey for lunch. 'Cos we needed lunch!!! Santa Andrew and Elf Clare, gutted that they can't make our Santa Run in 2 weeks time so they were having their own today, good on you. Good job that Glen had invited Kevin then! with his windswept hair The cafe has a lovely outdoor seating area, but it had started raining by now and we sat inside, but in the summer it will be ours The spitfire picture is for sale, it is pressed tin. (Hip flask engaged) For sale is the Flying Scotsman picture, also pressed tin The chatting and catching up of car news carried on over jam and cream scones Chris, eating Nottinghamshire Bread, well that's what he is telling Mo when he gets home (it's nearly as healthy as Yorkshire Salad (chips)) And Martyn too So there we have it, a cracking day out, the driving was pants but the company more than made up for it. It rained all the way home and it was almost dark when we got back. We are back in the Peak District, land of wonderful roads, next weekend with the Ice Cream run, see you there.

Excellent, you need to get your spanners twirling and @CraigHew needs to remember to unsorn his car !

If @CraigHew is allowed out for a day will deffo be booking you for a day out in the summer

A trip into the Peak District with @CraigHew & @CosKev July 2018

hmmmm I wonder what matching outfits our 'twins' will be wearing tonight @6carjon & @BillyPee

still as good as new after 2 years and many track days

Neck warmer really important. How do I know? Did a fair old mileage on Saturday without one .

I'd have kept the massage bit , as the wife doesnt go in the garage any more .....................

A nice morning spent catching up with friends, but these AO’s don’t half push there luck!! @Martyn Vann - Joint Warwickshire AOgood luck talking your way out of this Martyn!
