OK thanks Jeff - looking forward to meeting you and fellow enthusiasts !(Tim - I'm on the Club map!)

Hi Mark,

All welcome. As we're a little new at this "garage day" thing down here, it might not have the polished finish that one of Phils now world famous garage days, but every one is welcome.

Yes.

I've trapped the sciatic nerve my left side so I'm a little immobile at the moment (actually sitting in a normal car is painful so I can't imagine what getting in and out of a Strat' would be like). But I'm walking (if not driving or sitting comfortably) so there's no reason not to. The garage should be a little clearer by the weekend so you're all welcome to have a nose about.

If anyone has any food/drink issues then we can probably already cope as I've been dairy (cows milk etc) and wheat intolerant for for the last 12 months, but let me know and we'll work something out.

I know what that's like Jeff.
'Hope you're over it soon.

Hi Jeff
Just met Peter today and his impressive looking rolling chassis. He's just informed of your garage day and although I live just 20 mins from you. Unfortunately, due to commitments I won't be able to make this one. But, i'll defo be up for the next one in this area.
Regards
Gary

Really no need to wait for a specific day to pop over if you're that close and fancy a cuppa. Just make sure we're about and you'd be welcome to pop in.

As for today, the forecast is good (though I'm not sure about the overcast clouds) and Mrs P has headed off to make sure we have bits and bobs required to prevent dehydration or starvation from setting in (I must go and tidy up the garage).

See you later.

My appreciation and thanks to both Peter and Mark for popping over today and Mark for bringing his Strat'. Always a pleasure have a chat about the cars and events (past and future), and remind myself of why I started the car in the first place.

I have to own up to having failed to even clean the car and not even noticing that 'er in doors had written "Barn Find" in the dust on the windscreen

. That alone probably says all that needs saying about recent progress. I'd like to say (in my defense, your honor) that I had been planning to get back into the harness a couple of weeks ago but circumstances have precluded such activity.

Anyway, been a good morning with a small but select and enthusiastic crowed. Looking forward to the next "Southern" meet, location and time to be determined.

Regards,
