Norton Canes is ok with me. We could then take a cross country route (A41 from Weston to Whitchurch) instead of the Telford / Shrewsbury way? What you think?

There's a little car museum nearby, might be worth a visit if all interested and if we have time?

I'm in too, room booked. Missed your money saving link by 10 minutes Richy... get up earlier! :-)

Yes, thanks to Rich and Jackie for yet another fab one, great fun, great people. Ta muchly from me and DJ Bri.

I don't know what sort you have but I recently bought a new QH fc52 cap from here:

https://www.redlinecarparts.com/fc52-qh-radiator-cap-p-483749.html

£5.60 delivered. Ignore the stock picture on their site, it's actually the typical metal type. Delivery was quick, but it wasn't over a bank holiday weekend, which may delay things.

Beef & Ale Pie and Profiteroles (x2), please Rich. Thanks.

My current plan is to leave Cov early/mid afternoon then go pick up Brian, so we will be late arrivers.

Count me in too please, Phil.

Have booked Llys Olwen. I will be leaving Cov mid-afternoon on the Friday, pop into Lichfield to pick-up Bri and arrive Nefyn early evening all being well .

Agree, it was a fabulous weekend and thanks again to Rich and Jackie for pulling it all together.

Here's a little vid of the run around the Great Orme on Saturday:

At the moment I know Redtrev is leaving later so there's a chance to travel up in a later group with him (if you can keep up) as he knows the route well.

My departure time is not set in concrete as Suzanne's cystoscopy is 09:30, so it depends upon hospital efficiency and, of course, the outcome. Assuming all's well, I'll then head over to Lichfield to pick up Brian and go from there.

Fuelled up yesterday ready to go and can't wait!

XC Weather forecast is looking promising (at time of post!)

I too use Toyo R1Rs.

I bought from Oponeo.... here::

+1 for Weber 32/36.

My Pinto had Weber 32/36 originally, later changed to 38DGAS, but hoses were compatible. Water hose to heater matrix, 15.8mm bore. Fuel-in, 8mm bore.

Can you add me to the list, please Rich

I bought mine from Oponeo. http://www.oponeo.co.uk/tyre/toyo-r1r

Massive thanks to Richy and Jackie for another super weekend. Great company, food and run out with the right weather to boot. Unfortunate about the 2B breakdown but the lil Mini did us proud (thanks Suzanne). Now in Robin Hood's Bay enjoying the sun. :0)

We're planning to go on the Sunday, see you there?

 

Trev has said that he'd like to keep the British car industry running on the Friday morning, so he'll be travelling up later in the afternoon

Haha, I did the maths Rich, gotta pay for the weekend fuel and accommodation somehow...... and I'm off the following week to Robin Hood's Bay, so August hour-count will be low

Another good online shop for electrical goods:

Reading Kevin's report on "Cars on the Green" reminded me of the annual Lichfield event "Cars in the Park" which occurs this year on 4th and 5th July, Link here:

http://www.carsinthepark.com/index.html

No entry fee, no registration/booking needed, just turn up on the day (unless going as part of a club).

As I'm a scratting contractor I'm not in a position to set off early that Friday, but I know the route so will meet up at final destination if not before. I reckon I'll be passing Dobbies at around 3:00 to 3:30pm.

Chatting about cars (as you do) to a fellow parent whilst collecting kids from school yesterday, and he mentioned this:

https://www.princethorpe.co.uk/news/events/twentieth-motoring-festival---2015-event

starts with a 30 mile run through the Warwickshire countryside.

I should be there, pending a successful MOT this coming Saturday
