    Gordon please accept my apologies, I cannot make Saturday. No idea how I’ve double booked (Golf Club Finals) Have a great day and hopefully catch up soon.
    All the best

    Hi.
    At Silverstone I told Ken, Paul and Ian I would be attending.
    Two issues have now arisen.
    1 My mum is coming to stay all next week so I have some making up to do over the weekend with my wife!
    2 More significantly, I went go go out in the Stratos on Tuesday night after putting it away from Otley show on Sunday. Plenty of cranking but no go.
    I have checked fuses and fuel filters - all ok.
    I have replaced crank sensor with a new spare I had.

    Still no power to fuel pump and no spark.
    Bit of a pain as booked in for 2 new rear 255 tyres on Friday AM especially for the trip to Buxton.

    Sorry, but I don't think I will make it.

    Steve

    Another great day at Gordon's! Not a massive turn-out, but certainly enough to make it fun. And of course the conversation wasn't just about cars, there was an interesting half-hour learning about the creation and modification of diamond jewellery from Tim!

    Many Ta's to Gordon for once more hosting the mob at his gaff, to all who attended (and those who couldn't make it through no fault of their own), and roll on the next one! - oh, and I even managed to shift some DVDs. Result!

    Had half thought that I might get along before we went on holiday last week, but when we came back on Tuesday, Carol very much under te weather and then tested positive for Covid so you would not have wanted me there.

    Sorry to have missed what I am sure was a very enlightening insight of the Dimond trade from my body in the boot demonstrator!!!

    Making Jewellery is a lot easier than building a Stratos ! Hats off to those in the 'motor trade' who do it for a living, skilled mechanic/engineers are vastly underrated in my book.

    Thanks Gordon & Ruth for putting up with us & making fabulous bacon butties
