Thanks for another lovely day. Thought I’d share a photo of my dinner before any of you try and stitch me up with Clare 😀

Honda engined Westfield's, have you heard of them? sit in the garage and look pretty, yep, that's them but we made a pact today that we wouldn't mention them. @RobH72 @LukeW @Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AO frightened of other engine types? 😃

 

It was Bonnets Off in Matlock as we were joined by @syman84  Michelle and Olivia, who has sold his car and is picking his new one up tomorrow, which we will look forward to lots of lovely photo's of. I am sorry that we couldn't stay longer and have a brew with you guys but we had promised to meet the others and were on a schedule, hope to see you again though please come again.

Bonnets Off

 

 

We set off on our route firstly posing through Matlock Bath, then up the twisty Via Gellia road cutting off to pick up the flowing Bentley Brook road which took us onto the really pretty bit, the wynding lanes of Dovedale and finally landing us at The Manifold Inn, Hulme End. It was a joy to be out, the roads were dry and the air hitting your face was less icy than of late.

 

Bill was waiting for us when we arrived.

 

 

Dave arrived a few moments later. My photo is not is focus because you have to be quick when Dave arrives, this is the unedited photo and it's not bad considering.

We took a seat next to the fire and lunch was served. The food was excellent and the service was too, we will be returning here I think.

 

 

Next it was time to show Dave our new road and sail past Tagg Lane Dairy without stopping because we needed to show Bill the Smithy at Monyash, lot's of 'firsts' today.

It is a case of park where you can in Monyash as there is no car park.

 

Dave and Andrew

 

 

 

Bill and us, don't forget Tango Man

 

 

It gets messy around now as the cake arrived, Andy Westwood was mentioned at this point

 

 

No licking the screen

 

 

It's been a marvellous day out, great to catch up with everyone after what seems like a long absence and although the remarkably quiet roads were covered in muck it was at least dry and not animal derived. Thank you for joining us today everyone xxx

Don't mention the lasagne then? he had a salad sandwich😄

[Rob Hunter - Club Secretary]

Sorry I missed it, looks like you had a great time! 

 

I'll try and redeem the Honda engine reputation on the next one I promise! 😂

[Andy Westwood]

Hi everyone

Looks like you had a great time I'm not jealous at all.

I see Billy's roof is working now😃

Sue says the cake looks good.

Hopefully see you all in April the cars serviced just waiting for my cousin to weld my cracked silencer.

There's only one response to that and it involves RPM > 8000 rpm, coming past you soon 😎

but after the straight there is always a bend and then the revs have to drop below 8000 🙃 and the rest of us can catch up.

8000 rpm Honda power will never sound as good as V8 sound track though Andy

but please remember for the Honda boys to come out to play, it needs to be dry, sunny and warm.  No cow poo. About 20degrees. To be able to fly, conditions need to be just right. 😜😜😜

I’ll get my coat.....

Pay your tax bill and come out to play!!

We also want to know what ‘upgrades’ you have done. 😀😀

[Weekend Warrior]

Honda power is ok but by the time the Vtec kicks in a well tuned Zetec is gone !  🙄

Hopefully see you on the next one it’s been way too long .

[aeg]

@AndrewBClarke it’s not the tax man that’s the problem! It’s traction to get out of the right of way ( especially when neighbours are having building work done, see photo 😮) see you soon Andy ps it’s uphill from my garage to get where the photo was taken from

[Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman]

Good grief! I’d no idea you had to go quite so literally cross country to get to meets!
