I should make this one weather permitting just need to double check with Sue we have nothing planned.😀

[AndrewBClarke]

I’m not coming if @Andy Westwood is coming as there would be no cake left!!  
Seriously thou it’s Father’s Day so my wishes are totally irrelevant. Been booked to see them so that I can be shown their holiday photos as they are just back from a Greek cruise. 🤨

[Glynn Walters]

I’m working sorry!

No cake for me! ☹️

[Andy Westwood]

As long as the weather is good Sue and myself will be attending Julie. If 2 cakes @AndrewBClarke isn't coming all the more for us Julie🤣

Refereeing at a shoot unfortunately although I should be free the following Sunday weather and family permitting.

Have fun (and cake, lots of cake).

Luke.

Short but sweet meet up this morning, sadly had time get home for lunch....

 

Early morning meet up near Derby with Tony and Alex before convoying up to Matlock.

 

 

McDonald's was very busy due to a local classic car meet so sadly we were spread around the car park.... how rude of them, spoiling the normal photo! 😂

 

Luckily I got a little video of the departure

Firstly, I have news for you, the Bull in the Thorn cafe has finally reopened, it is now The Bull Yard and it is a pub. We called in the other day and the menu is typical pub fayre with breakfast is served from 8am, so when it has settled down we will give it a whirl.

 

Thanks for the vid, Rob, and that's without a 360 camera

 

We met at McD's and there was a rather odd car in the car park, it had Jag badges on it and it looked great, but what it was I don't know??

 

 

 

Alex had to park separately

 

 

then Rob, Martin, Chris and Andy and Sue

 

next to the friendly IAM bikers were us, Tony and Nigel

 

 

After breakfast Rob and his Rebel's headed back South, leaving the rest of us to pick up the high roads of Buxton, the twisty roads of Crowdecote and the Via Gellia before landing in Bonsall.

 

Glen got cheeky with the camera as we were travelling along.

 

 

On the big roads

 

 

and the smaller roads

 

 

 

Quite how that moody sky didn't drop any water I don't know

 

 

near the end Nigel peeled off down the Ashbourne road for Father's Day duties and we parked up in Bonsall village.

 

 

Chris and Andy having a shiny car competition, and this was after a run through the Peak District, there are a lot of constipated cows out there.

 

 

 

After lunch the cakes arrived, Martin had eaten his before the camera came out and Chris was having tomato sauce instead.

 

 

Andy, The Cake Meister, did not disappoint, he had chocolate orange cake AND lemon ice cream, I bet you can't read that without your mouth watering 😜

 

 

Fantastic. If you ever feel grumpy or stressed just have a look at this photo and suddenly nothing matters anymore.

 

Great company, lovely cars, and the super roads have made for a priceless day out, thank you everyone. 

[Andy Westwood]

We both had a great day with great company. The route through the Peak District and views were fantastic. Finished off with lovely food. Thanks for another terrific day out with like minded friends.

Thanks Julie and Glen for organising great day.

[aeg]

Glad you had a great day out 👍 I think the Jag is an XK120 or 150 I’m not that good but so someone with some brains will be along soon to tell us what it really is 🙄 take care folks and see you all soon A&B

It’s a 1955 Jaguar XK140 and probably worth about £150k.

[Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative]

Oh wow, glad I gave him the thumbs up when he left then! @Andy Westwood did the photo's of the interior come out? can we see please?
