Here I am broken down. First time and in my 9th year. Feel pump gave out a death wail in a village and then 5 minutes I was here. No go !IMG-20240831-WA0005.thumb.jpeg.159d47955cc3939de1c2a1fbf81ebfd2.jpeg

Alright though, I had a seat nearby stung by a nettle though 🤔

Stuffed back in here and said I'm not talking to you 😜IMG20240831140429.thumb.jpg.d1b91ebc4d03a50c07f60468e0291d60.jpg

I think we will make up soon.

This is me, also broken down at the front of the gathering. Mine was also fuel pump related, but it was the fuse. However, the fuse was kept blowing due to an issue with the pump which left me stranded also, requiring a saviour to tow me home. I now have a new pump fitted and it seems to be behaving itself.

Nice one, I'm heading over on Saturday for an overnight. In the big car though.

Kindred spirits 😁. Upon investigation last night its my lift pump. New one ordered and eBay had a code on so hoping to get away with a reasonably cheapish fix 👍

We are so desensitised to our cars at times we forget how amazed we were ourselves when we first saw one. It's normal to us but must be quite amazing to see one in real life if you've never seen one before. I can recall a load of Japanese tourists in Bibury and Tetbury getting the cameras out many-a-time as we drove by.

Yeah, I'm often amazed at the reaction it gets.

Car still looks fab, even when it has misbehaved! Hope it’s fixed soon 👍

I took part in a run through the scenic route to Oban yesterday with about 8 cars,IMG-20240908-WA0003.thumb.jpg.578e5e5173c0fac4d4d92df079046a70.jpgIMG-20240908-WA0005.thumb.jpg.b359a068d2549b2d91a7cfc80cfa8dbd.jpgIMG-20240908-WA0010.thumb.jpg.c3e118cf80fabd1f1166aceb7ec35027.jpg a mixture of kits. Mk, Westie, Caterham and 3 Lotus. There was an S2 exige with over 300 bhp, had fun trying to keep up. Lots of getting lost on the way and various routes taken but we met up in the end. 360miles covered and smiles all round.
