Don't think we'll car on the road then. Mike's taken the blue Humber ad the Fairlane off to give it some TLC. Street Addict won't be on the road.

Had fun last year, scrapping the ice off the windscreen all the way there. biggrin

Mike's gone up to the barn to get the Fairlane, but he's been gone blinkin' ages, so I hope everything is ok.

EDIT: Not long after posting Mike got home, he had to stop and help the lady who owns the barn with something. smile

Fairlane has got a new petrol cap, so we'll see you all tomorrow.

Got home ok thanks, Guessing Cudly got back ok too as he was with me most of the way. Wish I could say the same for my friend she was heading home the same time on the A12 and a lorry hit her car which spun her and was then hit head on by the car behind! And we are supposed to be going to the poor girls wedding tomorrow!!! They are ok though! lucky to be alive really and they are still going ahead with the wedding!

Anyways other than that bad news I had a great day and cant wait till the next meet! Will post photos up asap.

as everyone has said great day out, my first brass monkey run an thoughly enjoyed it ,a bit colder in the car than i thought it might be but it was nice to get the trumpet out on the road again. alot of cars and great company. roads back were prity bad ,at one point i had to pull over and sort the headlights out i couldnt see a thing.then found out why,the crap off the roads had covered the lighs, cleaned and they were fine. got home safe. hope your ride gets sorted Matt and i apollagise for speeding up at times lol its a problem with the v8 "heavy footedness" they call it lol. well done to the organisers and ill be doing it again next year. ill post pics later . just got to wash the trumpet and get ready for the summer mmm.

clake · Member

Nice one Liam, well done

geezer · Veteran Member

thats a nice group of rods. i like the merc too giggles. looks cold out.

giggles · Guru

Not as cold as last year, I stopped scrapping the ice off the inside of the car 10 miles down the road, where as last year I was still scrapping the ice in Brandon.

Still a good day was had by all.
