Today I went to the Breakfast Club meet at Winchester Auto Barn.  I was the only Westy there but a lot of other exciting stuff!  Countach and GT40 were probably the highlights!

Popped over to the Port Solent Car Meet in Portsmouth this morning, chatting to the Tiger and Caterham owner - Caterham at 40miles on the clock since IVA. 

 

Its a 420R model and the owner Martin let me have a sit in it, much bigger than I thought it would be, and just lovely inside and out, but also £42k!!

It's starting to look like a race car winter tinkering seems to have taken a long time this year.

When I took my grandson out for the first time he was only 7.  On the way he asked how fast we was going and I jokingly said 100mph when we was at 40mph.  When we returned home his mother asked if grandad went fast, “oh yes” he said “grandad went to a 100mph” 😂

You should have seen her face.

Fabulous run up into north wales yesterday 6 hrs of just brilliant roads without  using motorways. Stopped at Harlech after a fun run up the hill

Completely lost a drive belt tensioning pully. Managed to find the drive belt but not the pulley, so currently waiting for the second leg of my recovery home!

A few of us Essex & Kent boys went to MK cars brekky meet near Whitham Essex.   All 7 type were welcome,  a Catering  van driver actually said Hello to me but that was as much conversation he could muster.

Early morning drive up to Caffeine and machine last Sunday. Becoming a regular drive out for us. Nice 45 minute drive there, good coffee and a gander round some very nice machinery and back in time to keep the missus happy.

Thats a shame about the Caterham owner...

I have only ever found Caterham owners to be very friendly and seven style nuts...just like me, and not stuffy at all!

I have a local lotus 7 club meet between where I now work and home, and went to the third monthly meet last night..a cracking turnout of 10 cars and I couldn't have been made to feel more welcome?
