In that case I'll be positive as well Andy.Originally Posted by AndyGuyton
I'm staying positive Jim, but a little negative reinforcement can go a long way.
Looking forward to next weeks update about how your IVA has gone.

As I only have a growing pile of bits and a build manual no run out for me. However as you are all literally in my back yard tomorrow afternoon (live in Hexham, grew up outside Carlisle near Caldbeck), I will potter out to see what I can see. If you do see a grey Scirocco with the driver waiving enthusiastically give me a waive. Weather should be near as damn it perfect for enjoying the drive and scenery.
Andrew, any idea of your likely location?

I likely wander over to Brampton later this afternoon. I know where you guys will be exiting onto the A69. Even if I don?t see any Stratos? I can pop in to see my mum!

Spotted!
Thank you so much for being up here. Even my 14 year old daughter said your cars were cool which is surprising as hell hasn’t frozen over.
I think the words of Richard Hammond are appropriate.
You know what I wasn't in one, I wasn’t moving in one but I still enjoyed them. They are beautiful.

Andrew, Peter (phubb) thanks you for the photo.
I saw you, I was the last car having stopped for fuel in Alston. I recognised a VW Sirrocco and then saw the hand shoot out of the window as you approached. All of us are sorry we never got to speak with you. You will have to come and join us like minded folk's on the next one. You don’t have to have a completed car, the Sirrocco will be fine and bring your wife along.

Thank you Norm for great weekend and interesting route around the Lakes and Pennines, we especially liked the stretch overlooking the Solway Firth in the late afternoon sunshine. On the homeward journey encountered a real heavy sharp downpour just after Barnard Castle, we could see it looming up in the distance.

Normster...
Thanks very much for organising another great weekend, great route, great company, great hotel, great weather..!
we also really enjoyed seeing the 1:1 scale model of a fibreglass steam train and also the memorabilia at The Fat Lamb....
We also encountered a guy who had just bought a Lancia Fulvia Zagato, we managed to get him to stop so we could take some photo's.
Thanks to everyone who came along for their enjoyable company.
