It would be rude not to Phil! Just need to sort out a little wiring issue - no starter!

Race Retro on Saturday for me. Hope to see a few people down there, staying Friday night at the Woodside for an early start.

Would like to drop in after c1pm with the other half (Sarah). Will be en-route to LMC committee meeting, so hope to be in a Lancia but probably not Shades as I need more miles under my belt and the salty roads and more importantly the passing of my mum has meant a lot of other stuff to deal with so it is still only done 100 miles in my ownership......

Guy Mayers
07-03-2016, 14:27
Two Cookies on the list Phil?

Would be good to catch up with you Tim! If the Zagato is on the road how about that? It'll give Phil a spur to get on with his...

I was thinking of the Z as it needs a good run to check out the gearbox-out work I did over the winter (replaced pressure plate and rear crank shaft oil seal as the reason) , as we are taking it to Italy in June!!

For a moment I thought there may be a second chocolate finger available but thinking about it, Arkwright is careful with his money so im sure he'll have the fingers on sale or return.....

Nope, it's on you now Chris.....

I wonder what the roads are going to be like across the Peak District on Saturday afternoon.... Usually more fun than the A50/M6...

'Forgot to say.
Thanks to Paul too.

'Had a good look at Paul's impressive collection of period Stratos photographs.
These are great for reference, because there are so many shots that you won't see in books magazines or even the internet.

Phil, I had every intention of grabbing an arm full of stuff from your 'bargain basement' section, and then completely forgot at the last minute!

Bernard
13-03-2016, 10:41
Glad to hear that everyone enjoyed the day.... Great also to see 2 superbly restored cars, Chris and Jane Smiths Jaguar 240 and Dave Cookes Mini Cooper S....both superb.... Didn't count the number of people who attended I suspect well over 20...
cheers for now Phil and Helen

Phil,

superb gathering, many thanks for hosting. Plenty of faces to forum names and lots of interesting cars.

After tightening the loose nut on the engine bay power distribution connector (thanks to all who helped in the diagnosis), Zenith car ran smoothly all the way back to Sussex.
