Hi Ray,

 

Welcome to the club. If you want to show off your pride and joy we would love to see it. If you are not too far from the Peak District I organise regular runs out, often starting from Ashbourne. Look in Events to see our run out today with a pre-lit narrow, the actual post is called The Oil Can Cafe, although we never went there, but that is another story.

 

Cheers

Julie

Hi Julie,

And thanks for the welcome and the invite, I am working on the Webers at the moment, once we have the old lady running correctly,plus I am in for my M.O.T. next Saturday. I will look to get over to the local meet.

I am still getting used to a crowd gathering around me when I stop, every one waves and smiles and kids keep shouting "Nice car mister" 

Cheers for Now

Welcome Ray, there's a few cross flow engined cars having big resto jobs done on them at the moment. Be great to see them all coming back on the road.

Thanks for the Welcome Guys

It's good to see the good old x flow still has it's proper place in the world.

I enjoy the fact that the senior cars :p are still going to be around for a while yet.

I will look how to attach pictures and give the old girl her five minutes of fame :rolleyes:
