Well, made it there, if not back under our own steam, due to a major issue with sheared off wheel nuts :(

Other than that, had a really great day!

Cheers
Jeff

Another good event in hot sunshine. I had a bit of trouble finding the place. If you followed the signs you ended up on an industrial estate with all the Triumphs on the other side of a wire fence. Still, I got there in the end.
Hello to the nice black S.E. I passed on the way out as I was going in. :bluewave:

An excellent turn out of our cars. I counted 18 in total.
CBL, DRK, FUD, HCY, HOH, JGK, WVF, OFL, OGJ, RVX, SWK, TYT ( doing gate duty I think ? Thank you ) TUL, WLT, XFG, MSO, EPX.

The best bit had to be the hill-climb. Do you stay in 1st gear for the whole climb or 1st --> 2nd ---> 1st ?

Same again next year ?

Tony.

Thanks for the fine pictures Dave. 8)

I felt very honoured to see the Fury in the flesh..very pretty thing. 8) It's lovely to see it out and about, but as it's a one off, how the hell isn't it owned by the heritage museum? :shock:

A bit like the Stag fastback, they can't own them all I suppose..
