Hi Phil,

I would like to attend and I will bring Mr.Hassle with me;)

Tom

[Normb666]

Is it that time of year already?? Hey ho, suppose as Chair-type guy I should show my face and smile at people. I was gonna say "put me down", but you'll do that anyway....

Actually, looking forward to it, and it may just be that I turn up in a Strat of my very own. Anyone offended by blue wheels should reconsider attendance or wear tinted glasses :)

[David J]

Phil

Two more David J and Chris J.

David

[Longtimefan]

[westonTB]

Top stuff, count me in... sadly will be in the Beta , slacking I know, still not sent the iva paperwork off yet!

[Guy Mayers]

Hope to make it across - but probably not in the Stratos.. Might be a Panda.

[Longtimefan]

still not sent the iva paperwork off yet!

Ho come on, you will miss a wonderful summer of fun.

[Phubb]

I'll be there - maybe - just maybe in the resurrected Allora. My better half might be working, but if not then that will be 2 for T.

[westonTB]

Ho come on, you will miss a wonderful summer of fun.
Nearly there Robin, as Gordon rightly pointed out, my indicators are flashing more than 120 times a minute = another iva fail! , more earths me thinks?
Still aiming to catch some summer... ish

Will there be a special Allora park?

[Normb666]

Yes, it'll be called "The Allora Memorial Gardens"

[ProtoTipo]

Yes, it'll be called "The Allora Memorial Gardens"

I thought you were going to say "lorra lorra alloras" ?

[hollytree]

Hopefully.......... "street cars" will have to be parked across the road in the farmers orchard !

[Normb666]

Lorra Lorra Loras.....I like that. Maybe it's the Cilla Black Memorial Garden? We could have a "Blind Drunk" prize for the one with the most empty bottles and cans?

[hollytree]

Corse I - not Vauxhall!

[Normb666]

Just as well, Steve, or someone would have the electric power steering off it while you weren't looking :)

[Bernard]

Hi All

Well the weather order has gone to the big guy upstairs....... and it looks promising for Saturday !!!.... so fingers crossed it stays that way.

If you are coming in a normal road car I have arranged parking across the road at Bridle Road Farm, in the orchard...... I will put a couple of orange arrows to guide you.

Cheers

Phil

[Normb666]

Jeez Phil, your garage days get more sophisticated by the year...next time I'm expecting special designer shopping outlets and gourmet dining. In fact I think we'll hold the 2023 AGM at your gaff :) :)

[Longtimefan]

Sadly Phil, higher management will not be with me on Saturday as is being required to undertake a serious child minding session, 5 child’s age 10 to less than 2 years from midday through to Sunday am. I have said i will join the party later!!!!!!! I think Sunday afternoon could be lost to sleep.

As you say, weather looks good, so looking forward to respite before the storm.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Robin

[Bernard]

That's ok Robin, no worries.......... will you be ok travelling all this way without supervision and guidance ??

[Bernard]

Hope you all have a safe journey tomorrow ..........

[Kenny m]

Hope everyone has a great day tomorrow, looks like you will get a great day , would love to go to one of these days but the swim is just too far for me.

[GerryA]

Have a great day everybody
Looking forward to lots of pics
Safe travels

[renmure]

Have a great day everybody
Looking forward to lots of pics
Safe travels

Yes indeed.
Lots of photos please so that those of us that are too far away to swim or walk or even drive there can vicariously enjoy the day.

[Guy Mayers]

Pics please - I can't make it today, last minute rush of parts for Gerry that I've got to deliver to a mutual friend on the Welsh border today, then not week it's collect a couple of Dino drivetrains that will make the return journey to go to a specialist near me. Bugger. The alternative was a 2 day van hire for me to get down to Gerrys when we're trying to pack up the house pre move!
Have fun everyone!
Guy

[Bernard]

Thanks for everyone who turned up... I had a great day.....

[David J]

Thank you Phil, perfect weather perfect day. It was good to meet up with everyone again and meet some new faces.

David

[ProtoTipo]

Thanks for a great day Phil,
It's very good of you to do this for the club, as usual.

No dinosaurs encountered on the way home!!

[Jamo12t]

Thanks Phil for being such an excellent host.

Great spending a few hours chatting to everyone and got some ideas!

Car got a bit hot on the way home, may need to move the fuel pump as it started to whine! Either that or drive slower!

Looking forward to future events.

Thanks

James

[Basher]

Thanks phil for a good day it was nice to meet up and put some faces to the names
Me and Tim enjoyed your garage day ��

[hollytree]

Thanks Phil and thanks all for a great day.
Fantastic to see people after so long.
Engine temp got up to 100C crawling through Bradford on way home, but all OK when fans cut in
Steve

[hollytree]

As discussed with a number of the guests i am on the member map (take the "s" of the end of https to be able to see it.
I am a few miles south of Skipton.
I am sure in one of the posts, someone is building a car near Colne
Any ideas who, and if they want any help (or not), just ask

[AndyLB]

Thanks very much Phil and everyone - very enjoyable day!

[Griff]

Mr Chairman, is there a 6 missing from your VRM?

[ProtoTipo]

Norm,

I've got a pair of identical Carello caps to your's, if you want them? (£free)

[Normb666]

'Twas indeed a good day. Great weather, ace place, top host,....and a bunch of club-type peeps with nothing better to do :)
As you'll have noticed from the first pic, I managed to get out of my car without face-planting - amazing what a few hours practice can achieve! In fact that was my first "proper" drive in the car, about 115 miles each way - it ran faultlessly and even stuck in traffic the temps didn't get daft. Think I could do with changing the toe settings though - new shoes became a bit tight and put pressure on my toenails so it was a bit painful heading home, making for an awkward pedal action, so moral of story - run new shoes in before long drive!

Griff - yea, the extra "6" woulda been great, but I actually spotted "V666 STR" on a Kia or Hyundai SUV a few years back so it was already taken. I got the one on the car from "Ironman" Rob, who had the first Toyo LB which is now in Germany.

Chris - thanks, that's a very generous offer which I'll gladly accept! Bring 'em to the AGM and we'll do the biz round the back of the marquee.... ;)

And finally....mega-thanks to Phil for putting on a great day out. Judging by the cakes and biccies left at the end, I reckon he'll be putting on all that weight he's so recently lost :) :)

[westonTB]

Thanks Phil, mega day as ever, really enjoyed following snot green & custard in my 'stomach lining' orange one, we were the brightest things on the road I think!

Always a joy to be on the same piece of road as a Stratos:)

Cheers all.

[tomsredstratos]

Thanks for hosting a great day. Really good to catch up with everybody.

Cracking weather too.

Tom

[Longtimefan]

a serious child minding session, 5 child’s age 10 to less than 2 years from midday through to Sunday am. I have said i will join the party later!!!!!!! I think Sunday afternoon could be lost to sleep. Robin

I joined the party, and now well on the way to recovery this morning, it was fun while it lasted, mind you children didn’t seem to recognise that the hour had gone forward, but my body did, especially when the under 2 insisted on serving imaginary cups of tea at 6.30am (new time) along with the rest of the sleep overs, it got very crowded in our bed!!!!!!

Thanks Phil for hosting a great day, and has been said already, great weather, great cars and great company.

And Norman, your extrication antics are safe for another day, I failed to put the camera action on to video!!!
