I don't think any cars can run before 10 anyway so the first hour will probably be standing around, chatting and drinking tea.

Gave the car a quick going over earlier tyre pressures etc and had a major panic. Found play on rear wheel and thought wheel bearing was gone, turns out it was a loose bolt. Just checked the rest and all good now see you all there tomorrow.

Just got home from Curborough.

Thank you Daz for all your organizing. Great day. I had a lovely drive home until I reached the Shrewsbury bye pass.

That Big G has certainly got it in for me.

It came down that thick and fast that I could not see as far as my nose-cone.

I tried to pull over to the left and turn on my hazards. I bought the car to a stop when I could feel rough hardcore beneath me.

I sat there for five minutes and got drenched.

When at last the deluge relented I drove on through light rain until my drivers side screen wiper fell off.

I drove on to Dinkies Dinner with a view to transferring the left hand wiper to the right hand side.

This is where big G smiled on me again.

The wiper was hanging from the wing mirror.

A bit of silver paper as packing and Home I went.

Great day, lovely like minded people, all willing to help each other. (I'm sure one of em has been following me around for the last 68 years)

Did anyone bring home my ice box?

When we going again?

Pete.

P.S. I was trying to add a photograph but this was the best I could do.

I'll second your comments Pete. Great day, great people, great fun. We must do it again.

Big thanks Gaz you did a superb job as did everybody else who made it a safe, but fun day.

Gaz you are a star. You organised a great day. Loved every minute of not breaking down! Great bunch of guys and thanks for the help in fixing my long plaiging issue and mainly Rich for the loan of his rotor arm so i could get a few laps in. Might be able to drive more than 10 miles now!

My utube moment!

I can't post my videos from today dammit. There appears to be a limit to the number of media files I can post (original post deleted as embedded video didn't work).

[richyb66]

For now, go here to see the (14) videos from today (and possibly some other random stuff I get up to):

Yes, i thought they were'n too bad... i don't think my recently acquired positive camber on the rear wheels helped though.
