Hi Julie

Hope you all have a good time and don't forget to post the photos.

Sue + Andy

I best get them fitted and tested soon.

Wakefield as in the one by PonteCarlo and CasVagas 😉 (actually I'm in Crofton).

 

I was driving the Cobra through Ponte this morning as the weather was so nice ... do you know what they are building by the race course (opposite the McDonalds roundabout)?

Bagpuss ready to roll and it's started to rain here..........gr..........

Andy.They are building a new sports centre.🙂

You've more capital in your cars than wakefield council has in funds!😄

[Rob Hunter - Club Secretary]

Sorry I won't be making this one... 

 

Negotiations failed with SWMBO, it's me who has to stay in for the plumber. Apparently me being out 3 days in a row is a serious risk to world peace 😂😂

 

Looking forward to the pics!

[Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman]

Hope you’ve got better weather than the heavy rain that just hit round here,

That's because they keep spending their money on pointless things like the West Yorkshire Museum and closing Northgate to road traffic 😅 

[MR.C]

Next time your out on a weekend in the westfield let me know

and i'll join you!🙂

[MR.C]

Was hoping to join these guys today,but Buxton is hour and half away.

That’s nothing! 2hrs 15mins to the start for me 😀. Set off from home this morning at 6.30am and was still slightly late. Good fun tho. Not much traffic around at that time. 

[MR.C]

Yeah i saw your earlier post, good on yer!

Trouble is it showed rain in Buxton early doors and it finished me😄

Strange things happen at car meets, small plastic bags of springs and nails appear on the breakfast table, better than the small foil packages we were handed last week! full of homemade flapjack not drugs I might add.

 

Thank you Andrew for helping to fix the windscreen wiper, which thankfully/unbelievably we didn't need today.

Breakfast arrived, I tried something a bit different, posh pancakes.

 

Anyway, here we are at The Bull I Thorn, BillyPee came too in the Porsche but he was too posh to park with us, take note @Andy_R, you will have to park with him when you come.

 

Bagpuss has a new camoflaged alternator bracket.

 

Bonnets Off, a must at a car meet, especially off that wonderful Honda lump

 

Next up it was time to motor, away from the tourist hot spots the roads were empty and we barely saw another car on our way to Wetton

OTR

 

 

 

 

We arrived at Wetton and parked in our usual spot

 

 

And then Photo Bomber Bill came with his Porsche, take note again @Andy_R, I don't want any of this naughty behaviour from you!

 

 

In the cafe there was more naughty behaviour, from me this time, I seem to have become a 'cake magnet' oops

 

Trifle, now where in the world can you buy trifle, mmm it was lovely, mmm it was Glen's too, but he is a good husband and shared a little bit with me.

 

The Invisible Man was first to leave

 

Cool Box Bill admitted that he was calling in at Tagg Lane Dairy on the way home for big tubs of ice cream, now there's a good idea!

 

 

Andrew and us took a route home through a fairly busy Matlock Bath. The day didn't end there for Glen and I though, we had a new Coolex radiator waiting to be fitted at home.

 

I knew I would drop my Allen Key in that dish of old antifreeze, and blooming heck, I did. Slippy, slimy stuff, tastes horrible too.

 

We ordered a radiator with Epoxy Resin on, the bobbins were from Westfield.

 

 

The job was soon done

 

After a good burp it was time to take a test drive in that lovely evening sunshine. The ambient temperature was 19 degrees, so still warm, with empty roads I could get some speed going and the temperature stayed at 80 degrees, remarkable don't you think. 

 

 

Thanks to those that came, I hope that those that couldn't make it enjoy the photo's and maybe we will see you next time. @RobH72 that was an epic day yesterday so I am not surprised you couldn't make today but Wales, oh how lovely Wales is, lucky you.

[Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman]

Very jealous of the day! But not a chance of making it, ended up even busier than expected. And still looking forward to brekkie at the new venue!!
