Weather is looking tip top as they say. Come on guys and lets make more memories for the East Anglian carrot crunchers.🤣

Sorry I am so darned far away from all these great shows, this one was right up my alley. Not a huge amount goes on around here for car fans, unless you want to show how much popping and banging you can do on the overrun... LOL. ( not my scene)

Great day guys. East anglia hq gazebo in full swing. Loads of pictures taken by spectators and loads of interest on our cars plus invites to more shows.Big shout out to everyone who turned out plus boftas and tim baxter who joined us. Maintenance next weekend prior to our journey to malvern.

Cheers Richard, we are a little warm but burn free thankfully.

A great day and Martins gazebo kept most of the sun off. The weather gods shone down on us, now looking forward to Malvern.

Nice video thank you, I won't make Malvern either, at least not this year. I really need to move further South somehow otherwise I am always going to be the "no show" guy - quite literally !!, lol. That is perhaps the next thing I need to sort out, having nice cars is one thing, but without the shows to attend it's somehow an empty feeling for me, although these pics and vids give me hope, lol. Thanks again.

Is there no westfield events organizer where you are richard?

[Richard (OldStager)]

Yes, Lancs area, but its not just that for me right now - health issues with mobility. Having to get another car as Westy isn't doing me much good, I can still drive it, just not very far which means these long travel car shows are no longer feasible right now - awaiting news from GP on how we proceed from here, but he advised a sports car is perhaps not the best for me at the moment.

Sorry to hear that Richard. You may not be able to use the westy but meeting up in a tin top and seeing people may help a bit. I have had back issues in the past and have 3 fused discs and have had to build up the legs to compensate. We have a few that meet up like that at times and not in westies and its about people more than

 the cars. The cars are the starter and after that its the banter. if we can help in anyway to make your westie life better then please do not hesitate to ask.

 

Cheers martin

Yes thanks Martin, that's why I now have a 1970 Herald, or will have when it arrives , not really interested in modern stuff. So once that is with me, I am hoping to get to further away places, we will just have to see. Yeah, its 5 discs for me, totally wrecked according to the X rays, Osteoporosis of the back , had to google that as although I had heard of the word I had no clue what it was. This explains the pain however, but the news about not driving a sports car kind of hit hard, had one , in one shape or form for over 30 years now. Hoping a classic saloon takes over where the Westy leaves off.
