I’m sorry that we were not able to be with you today, was looking forward to getting out and catching up with you all. i was hoping to show you my little piddlers.
David, we will be with you in Yorkshire, even if the Crutches that Carol managed to put herself on late on Thursday have to be tied on the roof, unless by then i can get the Hacksaw to them to be able to fit them inside.
Hope there were some photo’s of today, I’m dying to see evidence of Buttercup!!

Great day, great friendly people, and well worth the 3.5hrs from South Wales to sample the fine coffee and huge spread of esquist biscuits!
Thanks norm, for picking me up at the layby and chauffeuring me to the venue. Your soon to be new car looks great, thanks for letting me sit in it and go vroom, vroom. I hope you get it before Christmas!
Cheers Phil for welcoming me at short notice, the endless coffee supplies and the use of venue. That garage is amazing, it's got everything. I'm surprised it doesn't have central heating, or does it?
It was really great to catch up with my old work colleague Tom from many moons ago and introducing me to everybody. Will catch up again soon.
And lastly the cars, old and new. It was great to actually see them in the flesh and to look at all the intricate details and engineering involved. All cars present are works of art from the decade in which they were built. But with a car as good looking as the stratos you can't really go wrong!
Shame I didn't get to see a Hawk this time. That would of been nice, as I could of then gone home with a better idea of what's available and what jacket suits me, so to speak! In the meantime, I'll keep on doing my research and see what pops up!
See you all again soon.
Justin

I can report that Buttercup was the yellowest yellow thing I've ever seen. The wheels have gone a funny colour though?Originally Posted by Longtimefan
Big thanks to Phil and Helen, as ever, and to David Jowsey for chauffeuring me down in his Allora Stratos, all the way from Outer Mongolia.
Thanks to Stimbow AKA Justin for the photos.
I will up load them now.

Norman, doyouknow, I thought you had had a change of mind, following pangs of consciousness that your colour scheme was to closely resembling an organisation who's primary distinguishing colours are very similar, and with whom you may have had a few close relationships with in the past???
Oooh, that's cryptic! Are you thinking of the Swedish flag? - cos I've never had a Volvo or a Saab....or even eaten the vegetable, as far as I'm aware...
Given the clues my bet was...
