I won’t mention the runner or e-bike that overtook me 🫢

A couple more photos 

Lovely install Stu, just be sure the fan belt is on properly! 🤪

 

someone’s looking for a spot to park 

 

 

Nothing to do with me, blame the photographer!

😁😁

 

Have a good day all

[Phippsy]

It was lovely to meet you all at last! I enjoyed seeing all of your projects! 

 

I wanted to get back home to feed the family and have an Easter egg hunt with the kids, only for Google to put me into some sort of 25 mile loop that I didn't notice until the second time around 🤦😂

Two meets in two days for me, I'm a happy boy! 😂

 

Brilliant morning as always, thanks @Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative for organising!

 

We had 6 cars land at the pre-meet location. Stu went topless so we could admire the new turbo on the MX5 engine, it's a beautiful install 👌

 

 

Matt also came along briefly to meet us all for the first time in his recently purchased ZX10 engined car before heading home.

 

 

A fun convoy up through Wirksworth and then up my favourite B5056 followed before landing at Quackers to find a sea of stunning cars 😍

 

 

 

After breakfast, a few of us had to head home so I took the opportunity to video the departure 👍

 

 

 

Amazing mix of engine choices today... Zetec, supercharged Zetec, MX5, MX5 turbo, S2000, supercharged S2000, Rover V8, R1 and ZX10R.... something for everyone!

 

Hope you all got home safe, see you on the next one!

An amazing day for many reasons, I love it when the cars come off SORN and we are joined by people we haven't seen for a while. A great big thank you to Rob for bringing a convoy up from the Derby area.

Here we are at Quacker's cafe car park.

 

 

 

After refreshments and an interview by Hedley it was time to do what these cars do best, and that's to move. The route was very carefully chosen to avoid any tourist traffic and it did that very successfully. The roads were empty, the views were excellent, the convoy stayed together easily and we arrived at The Eyre Arms, Calver very pleased with the day so far.

 

The Eyre Arms car park with Chris (Phippsy) in the line up (orange car). 

 

 

 

A 2 brake manpower car belonging to Hedley soon replaced Chris's car as he had to leave us at this point. It was lovely to meet you and I hope that you can come again.

 

 

 

In the Eyre Arms

 

 

Next up, ice cream, so that means a trip to Adam's Happy Hen's.

 

To cut a long story short, I was playing 'how to be a car park attendant' again and pestered Chris to fetch his car further down so he could be in the line up for photo's. I was passed his keys and OMG I was allowed to drive his absolute pride and joy, sir I am honoured. He later told me that no-one has driven his car in 15 years only him.

 

Me reversing Chris's car, making sure reverse is where I think it is. No good having a Westfield sunburst on the gear lever, that doesn't tell you does it.

 

 

 

Ice cream, waffles, cream, yummy

 

  

 

Brilliant day out, these cars are fantastic, great to see you all today, thanks for coming everyone.

Wow, what a turnout! Amazing group of cars 👍👍

[Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman]

Just taking my early bumbling steps in editing together the Insta 360 videos - I did film the whole run, and although I'm further in, thought I just stick a quick bit of the start in, as I left Quackers cafe with the gang.

 

The rest needs loads more editing down, to loose most of the hour+ of footage!

 

My next step on a run out, is playing around with the external microphone I've got, to loose the wind noise from the cameras internal mics.

Thank you Stuart. It is nice to see you and Lorna having fun in your car, if you keep posting on here when you go out and very importantly keep following up with photo's of the day, then you will be surprised how soon others will see what you do and come and join you.

 

It's how I started. This advice goes to everyone, just one of the benefits of your membership is the free use of the forum, oh and we all love to see lots of lovely pics👍

 

and videos @Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman they are a real treat 👍

I looking forward to seeing this as you followed me for most of it! 

 

I'm also going to attach an external Mic to mine as otherwise it's just wind noise

Here are a few photo's that Mo kindly took on the move, thank you Mo.

One I’d been working on this week, (though Hedley’s experienced editing hands beat me to the punch!)

 

 

😄Forgive the amount of wind noise, experimenting with my external microphone comes next!
