Gordon, Thanks for your hospitality today and taking time to talk me through your build. Your advice,hints and tips will prove invaluable. Your car is a real credit to you and the photos in your post do not do it justice. Quite simply a beautiful machine.
All the best Neil
Hope to see you on the 19th

Reminder that the Derbyshire Garage Day is on Saturday 19th May 10.30 till 14.30.
At the AGM a few more people expressed interest so if you haven't contacted please reply to this message. I will PM my address in Buxton to all who reply. So far I need 7 tea bags and a few spoonful's of coffee.

Everyone who contacted me should have the details of my address by pm. If anyone doesn't want to watch the wedding and are at a loose end let me know as I can still rustle up a few tea bags.

Big Ta to Gordon for the hospitality today - great to see the gang who attended, Gordon's gorgeous LB and Dave J's Amazing Allora :) Gordon's wife's lemon cake was ace!

Cheers!

Thank-you Gordon from 'Clare' and myself. Enjoyed our few hours greatly. She's still mortified about the kettle knob detachment incident which happened right after Norm and Richard left. I have my suspicions.....

Oi John, what's this about knobs - what are you trying to say?? :-P

P.S. Thought it was spelled "Claire"...hahaha! Gordo's obviously a Gilbert O'Sullivan fan :)

Clair went to make coffee, grabbed hold of the knob on the kettle lid and it crumbled in her hand!

Just goes to prove some of those old sayings are cobblers - in this case, "can't crumble" :)

Thank you to everyone who came to the Garage Day in Buxton and for the biscuits and sausage rolls. David, it was interesting to see you car and how you have developed it. John/Pam, Cusinart have sent out a replacement knob FOC. It must be a known design fault.

We once went for a 2 car run on the local NY Moors, and swapped cars.
In comparison, I found the Allora easy to drive. It tracked nicely.
