    Pah.. try taxing your Ferrari for the 1st time in months, going for an MOT, passing the MOT so deciding to celebrate and have a little run... getting about 10 miles from home and.... kaboom, your clutch thrust bearing shatters and all the bits go into places they shouldn't and you spend 6 hrs waiting to be recovered on a flatbed before finding out that you are going to be over ?7k poorer when you get the car back a month later. I might have cried a little bit. On the flip side, I do have some photos of bits of a clutch and gearbox that I've never seen before but it's not much consolation. Cars!!! Grrrrr!!!!

    Current forecast looks dry if a bit cool for Sunday. Hoping this kickstarts a series of wider meets. Looking forward to a gathering. Hopefully I can double my cars pathetic 1700 miles ( since registering Oct 2021) this year.

    Shaping up to be a good do. Fingers still crossed tho

    Commiserations to Leigh and Neil. It's almost enough to make you jack it all in and make do with a Dacia as your only car....not that there's owt wrong with Dacias, but I'm sure they don't get the adrenaline flowing like Astons and Fezzas. And you deffo can't pose in them. Or can you....?

    I’m hoping for some Sunday morning sunshine because I’ve just had a nice vinyl sun visor fitted tonight in preparation for Sundays drive around the peaks

    Hi guy's, I wasn't sure I was going to be able to make it but things have worked in my favour so very much looking to join you. I'll meet at Gordon's as it allows me to drive up Via Gellia which is one of my favourite Derbyshire roads!!

    Won't make it to Buxton I'm afraid but will see y'all in Edale after lunch! Mode of transport as yet unconfirmed - either something green, or something yellow!

    Completed circa 275 miles today, a good chunk of it on a Lancashire Motor Club event up in the Lakes/Dales. A cracking day and looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow!

    Tea and biscuits from 11.00. Like Phil I washed the Cayman. Weather looking good. The roads even better.

    Looks like you couldn't of picked a better day for a run out.
    Hope it's clear roads for you all.
    Wish I wasn't working.
