For those who don't know...

Address is
Home Field
Halloughton
NG25 0QP

its an informal meeting of like minded people.... All you need to bring is your sense of humour ...

you out may not know this but I do support Nottingham Forest....this has led to enormous amount of abuse recently .... however the garage day is still open to folks from Derby !!?..(Neil63)....just leave your scarf at home and don't mention football !!........it's a car day

I am a Forest supporter for 50 years! I have it in my diary but don't count on me as it is a bit of a trek. Last time I had an opportunity to pass by. BTW I have no scarf (shame)....

Hopefully will be in the patchwork grale, my Hawk is at a similar stage to Richard's LB, but wont be finished as quickly I'm sure:mad:

P.s what is football?

A Nottingham Forest supporter? Interesting...I like forests too, can't beat all those trees and leaves and boughs. I can imagine you cavorting in the greenwood and getting all...er....y'know...stimulated ;)

(if you're gonna make with a comeback, it's gotta be better than "barking up the wrong tree" or similar! :-P )

Hi Phil
I’ll do my best to get over if i’m free, it will be good to meet everyone and see the cars.
hopefully we can keep football chat to a minimum��

So's the current Mrs Dolby...she's a broad too, but she'll be there!

Phil, I'm STILL available for your Garage Gig...sorry. But I dunno, the lengths to which some peeps will go, just to ensure they're still being talked about/having conversations on here... :-P

Hi Phil,
Would like to come along if I'm allowed:rolleyes:. No more Stratii for me but it would be good to catch up with what's happening and meet some new faces too.
Might even have the latest resto' project finished by then so could be a good opportunity to give it a run out.:)

Took the liberty of inviting a couple of top blokes from Derby who are going to build an LB for a customer, met them today when I delivered the 166 donor car. Unsurprisingly they have a few questions I'm not qualified to answer! Hopefully there'll be a car or two there they can look over?

Hi Phil, if it's ok I'll more than likely pop along, give my car its first run out this year. Weather dependant, snow is blocking the garage door at the moment!
I don't mind parking on the grass outside..

Bernard
18-03-2018, 20:03
No worries...... Looking forward to seeing your car !!

NoCorseChris
24-03-2018, 10:59
Should we have a coordinated biscuit list so we each bring the right contribution? Hate to end up with 50kg of Rich Tea biscuits and no chocky hob-nobs.

25-03-2018, 04:58
Ha ha ha, great idea Chris. I'm happy to post a couple of packets chocolate biscuits from NZ so you've got something a little different.

DanMM
28-03-2018, 14:20
Looking forward to all these biscuits! foolishly I hadn't checked the forum for a while so went looking for you last weekend and only when I couldn't find your house noticed the date had changed, doohh! Never the less it was a good chance for a pint on the way home (old man was driving)!
Is anyone planning on taking a Lister Bell? I still need to see (and hear) a finished car.

See you soon.

Probably more LB's than others me thinks !

You will see us on the Day !.... there may be some fancy cars around !

Halloughton only has 1 road..... go into Southwell and follow the Nottingham Road out of the town centre past the Sports centre and Brackenhurst Agricultural College, Halloughton is about 400m on the RHS... the follow your nose

Hi Dan,

Do you want your boot lock bringing to Phil's on Saturday?

Bernard
04-04-2018, 20:55
Well boys and girls.....

there is significant upgrade from last years polystyrene cups...... We now have fairly solid looking paper ones!!!
A selection of biscuits, tea and coffee have now been stockpiled
Paul Hassall will be bringing a selection of photo albums, books etc for you to look at.
So all we need is dry weather !.... Fingers crossed!!!

So see you Saturday and have a safe journey to NG25 0QP... You shouldn't get lost there's only one road !

Cheers Phil

Phil,

Might be the biggest garage day ever.. well done, I'm sure it'll be a fun day, you've just got to keep the conversations, tea/coffee, sandwiches, biscuits going, I'll try and send the dry weather your way.

I'll be down at the Italian Day meet in Alton, so sorry not to be with you up there. We may have a few SEC members with us, so hope to have some nattering on Stratos stuff and an ogle at other Italian cars. I'll let you know how many other Stratos turn up down here...

'Just a tip for directions if you're heading for Phil's via Southwell:

After you come from Southwell town centre, don't miss the turning to the left for the Nottingham road.
It's immediately after the 'Reindeer Inn'.

I've missed it twice in two years, but that might be my rubbish navigating.

Guy Mayers
05-04-2018, 18:19
Bugger.
Work just got in the way and unless a miracle happens tomorrow I'm in the office on Saturday prepping for next week's audit.
I'm assuming the biccies aren't being bought until tomorrow so they don't go stale? Well, that's a few less needed.
Sorry guys!
