Here's another run out to a car meet in Longridge... www.wheelsupnorth.co.uk next one is this Thursday, Gordon (rdeagle1029) is planning a run out any one else fancy it? Don't forget some pictures...

I have Temp switch (coolant system) 100/95 (025) FAE 36060 fitted to mine, it all seems to run fine.

Hi All, Great run out to the Corner House meet today, it was great to see a number of UK KCC members. Sorry if I didn’t see you all it was a very busy meet with over 200 cars and not everyone stood by their cars and why should they!!! I must admit I got a few strange looks from people as I asked them if they were members and an even stranger look when I asked them to consider joining. Attached are a few pictures from the meet, more can be seen by visiting the Corner House meets face book page. It was great to put some faces to names and talk to you about your cars and the builds behind them. All in all the comments made were very positive, the weather was perfect and the cars fantastic. One comment I heard as a Sierra Cosworth drove by was "that would make a good donor!!" I hope the driver didn’t hear it, ha ha ha. Thanks to all the members who turned up this morning, please keep your eye on the events forum for more run outs and events. Have fun Darrell

Thanks for your advice, however they were ".HEIC" files?!? a quick google showed me how to convert to ".jpeg" files, some clicking and here are some of my photos for you to peruse... oh bugger!!! some are on their side, oh well not changing them now, enjoy everyone. Did anyone get a picture of the car with the Phantom jet cockpit? that looked interesting

It was my first Kit Car Show, I thoroughly enjoyed it and the dry weather was a god send travelling down from Blackpool. There were loads of cars of many types showing what an imaginative bunch we are. The manufacturers, parts and tool stalls were fab to potter around, boy am I glad I didn't take my credit card!! The owners I chatted to were a friendly bunch, happy to chat about their pride and joy and willing to answer questions on how they did things or solved problems. All in all a fab day. Fingers crossed for Stoneleigh and Newark next year.

Can anyone tell me what I haven't or have clicked that has resulted in the pictures not showing!!?!?

What a fabulous day I had yesterday at the Newark Kit Car Show, it was great to faces to names that I have been messaging on the forums. The sun shone and showed of the many different kit cars on show, what an imaginative bunch we are. A great turnout by the club, that I am sure could have seen more of us in attendance. Wandering around the show I saw manufacturers in the main hall along with suppliers of parts, tools and 'bits n pieces' that one may need to build and tinker with their kit car, remember they are never finished! I enjoyed talking to the owners who were more than willing to talk about their cars and offer advice to any question asked. You could sit in cars to see if you fit, take pictures to remind you how a problem was overcome,… All in all a great day, fingers crossed there is a Newark '23 See the Newark event page for some photos

Looking at the link there is much more than traction engines, this looks like a fantastic day out for your families. if any of you decide to visit in your kit cars for a get together and day out why not post some pictures on Facebook to show what ‘we’ get up to.

fab see you there

Well that's 'Rupert' checked out and fuelled up ready for tomorrow

thanks for the advice, Saturday it is then

brill thanks for that advice, looks like it will be Saturday then

fabulous and thanks for your speedy response

Hi All, You have seen the details regarding the Newark Kit Car Festival being held this weekend (see the separate event notification for details) This event has been absent for 13 years, the weather should be good this weekend (ever the optimist!) so why not have a run down and a fantastic day/ weekend out. I am sure if this event is supported then along with Stoneleigh we will have two great shows to look forward to in years to come. I am planning on travelling down on one of the days (yet to be confirmed) is anyone else going? Let us know your intentions. Have fun Darrell

Hi, I am planning on coming down on one of the days this weekend and was wondering how it works re parking at these shows, is it general parking or do we park as clubs/ types of kit cars etc with a few show cars on the stands shown above?

Hi, I have purchased wet weather gear this morning, closer to home, good luck with selling your gear, I am sure it will go

That's fair enough, I am travelling from Blackpool so it's a fair old trip, keep me in the loop with how things go, ta

No probs I can make Sunday 17/7 if that works

Hi, really interested in buying the set of wet weather gear to make my 2B more usable, would like to see before I commit, I could pop down on Sunday would this be OK?

Hi, it is all weather dependant for me, a long trip and no roof, but deffo planning on coming down for one of the days. Is anyone willing to suggest which is the best day to go or do they have the same stalls, shows, activities etc?, ta
