Latest news for those attending!

Spoke to the hotel today (OK, it was actually someone who works there, not the building....pedants!!) and the good news is that they've not lost our booking, and...

Is that "grate" as in "get on yer nerves?" :)

That was really good of her! Bet she didn't have a go herself tho, and she's regretted that ever since.... ;) (this based on Leah's feelings towards my car, but that's tough cos it's going nowhere....

Hi Andy,

Good luck in your search for a completed car! As you know, there are never many (or any!) for sale at any one time, so you might have a bit of a wait on your hands. Having said that, if...

"Big Friendly Giant".....well recovered there :) :)

I'm assuming the number plate in question is BFG 1.....but I'm deeply hurt that you think I'm a Big Fat Git. :(

Well of course....if you want the actual car as well as the pix, that's extra :)

19922It occurred to me that with this being the Northern DRIVE-OUT, it could be helpful if there was some sort of indication of where to head to. Accordingly, I knuckled down and knocked up some...

Lancia dealers? In Britain?? Hahaha!! Although, I dunno, maybe some of the old Lancia outlets might still have some odds and ends hanging about.

Maybe you could take a leaf out of crime...

Well funnily enough, it's hats wot milliners make.... and yes, Jim ended up with more than one. In fact he's a 2-hat. But a lorra peeps already knew that :) :)

Steve, you normally need a club official to give a valuation that'll be accepted by an insurance company. We've done several of these now so if you want it for your car, let me know....you're not too...

Is anyone going to this? It was a good do last year, but I don't think I can make it this time around. Be good to have some sort of club representation there tho....

Any more for this? We're only 4 weeks away and the remaining reserved rooms are back on general sale, so if you want to come along, get in there before they're all gone!

I hate ads like that. Loads of guff on history and development of Strats generally and then sod-all on the actual car for sale.

So go on then Jim, tell me about your Wendy.....

(yes, it's a very tasteless joke, but as you all know I have no taste :) )

Really? People who own Strat reps are expected not to swear??? Hahahaha!

Chris, I remember when people would say "crap in the petrol". Never knew if it was a statement or an instruction....

Robin, if I'd known that's all it took.... ;)

Yes Phil, even in the disorganised rubbish dump that is Chez Norm there are chores to do. All that crap doesn't get there by itself, y'know!
As for the pinny....I thought you knew that was very...

Won't be able to make it unfortunately. On a drive-out on Sunday over the North Pennines, and so we're doing all the weekend chores on Saturday. Hope it's a good do and y'all have fun!

No, we've not taken a stand as we weren't sure it was going to be happening (plus, we never heard anything directly from the organisers). So I dunno if anyone will be there....it was a low turnout at...

Matt - it is, as you say, a long shot but these things do occasionally surface, so ya never know.... does it have to be a stalled project or would a complete car do the trick? Not that they're any...

Congrats on the prize! If I'd known about the Lancaster I'd have popped over meself....

When I was talking to them to get the club recognised by them, I got the impression you got the discount automatically. No harm asking though.

Robin, when talking about "responsible officer....",...

Yeah, crumbs :) :)

Steve, I remember your car at Phil's but I didn't give it the intense once-over, so I don't mind a trip to Skipton for a closer look. I don't want to say "yeah, ?50k sounds...

Steve, I've issued a few valuation certs over the last few years which have been accepted by Classic Line. We (the club) did have an idea that we'd perhaps have a few "qualified" people around the...
