dougbgt6 Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 How did it go for everybody? I cruised around wearing my new Ray Bans, bought at great expense, as advised by JohnD, looking COOL! Lots of admiring glances but, not a female amongst them! Got home opened the garage, drove in, front bonnet catch popped, caught the garage door, OH BUGGER!

Clive Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 did the 1hr40 drive up to the Bicester scramble show thing (actually rather good, some very very nice cars and amazing workshops there) but nearly 4hrs to get home. I hate the motorways on a Sunday afternoon! Car behaved impeccably, and raised a few eyebrows, on a few clear road stretches, with all the Japfest boys.

Pete Lewis Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 We had 10 cars and 16 for lunch after a 40 mile run around finished at Hearts of the Shires oultet brilliant lunch all warm and cosy in a room to ourselves, I did a dummy run twice to prove the route convinced some bu**er lost a signpost and missed a pretty part ( call these deliberate mistake go withthe job ) but a good blow along the A5 got the heaters going , amd arrived in time for lunck, looking at the forecast the best day of the week so we had the 2000, 3 Stags, 13/60 ,Coupe, Gt6, Spitfire, Vitesse, And Z4 interestingly a couple with a Stag arrived in the parking as we were deliberating what next and they managed to park and walk off without making any eye contact Like we were not there we pulled into a layby enroute to re group and a lass in a squirty Fiat500 decided that after trying to get into the boot of the spifire at 50mph that much horn blowing and much \/ signage down to self inflicted stuppid driving 1/ 2mile later she was parking , so on passing a friendly twin tone toot had a similar guesturing to the whole group... dont you just love them all Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren Groves Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 The North Devon area had a run from Holsworthy, up through Torrington, Bideford, Barnstaple, Croyde and finishing at the Kings Arms, Georgeham which is owned by a TSSC member, just over 40 miles plus the drive home. The weather was beautifully sunny, if a bit cold. One breakdown in Barnstaple due to a condenser failure, but an old school AA mechanic got him going. Here's a few pics.

Pete Lewis Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 drives ending at a pub seems to be more of what my locals want ,go back some years and some would not get beyond the county limits without a major breakdown , or phased out with stress , progress makes the cars and owners are better now than ever , to add to Darrens shots heres a couple of our gaggle of cars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougbgt6 Posted April 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 Had a look at the damage today, couldn't do it yesterday, too distressed, also had to help my brother with his erection (shed!) Catch now set at a jaunty angle, wing dimpled but paint unbroken. Should be able to push it out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catch now set at a jaunty angle, wing dimpled but paint unbroken. Should be able to push it out? Now, if my memory isn't playing tricks, it is worth warming the paint with a hairdrier. Helps prevent cracking. I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
