Well I'll be bringing Dave, who's quite happy to talk to anyone about anything . He's quite happy to fix my Molly, but isn't that interested in talking "Triumphs" all night

[1300dolly]

Mrs 1300dolly will be attending as im not allowed out on my own after dark (except for work related business) she will probably wearing her newly aquired dolomite/1300 anorak

[David6214]

Mrs 6214 wll probably be bringing her mini (thats a car not a skirt!) she isn't quite a convert yet.....

[mbellinger]

Been doing a bit of jiggery pokery and reckon I'll be making the trip. Will be in the FWD provided it behaves.

If someone could PM me with a mobile number it would be handy as I have no idea where the place is and am almost guaranteed to get lost!

Cannot resist one last outing before Chrimbo. Trust we are still talking 5.00pm ish?

[1300dolly]

I will pm you my mobile number martin ,be good to see you.

[1300dolly]

WOO HOO>>> Im going in a triumph

[Nick C]

I should be too, hopefully! Don't have any other way until I get a chance to fix the Volvo...

[mbellinger]

Thanks for the PM Justyn.

Weather for Sunday looks horrendous, but will still be giving it a go provided no unforseen obstacles get in the way.

See you then.

[David6214]

Good to see you all. Chris (and wife and dad (sorry I didn't get your names)and all your charges), Justyn, Sarah, Nick, Susan, Phil, Martin, Len, Debs and Dave....

Happy Christmas.....

[debs]

Ditto .

Great to meet up with some new faces and the old ones .

A bravery (or totally mad) award must go to Martin, for battling the very high winds and torrential rain from Bromley to Portsmouth in his 1300 FWD . Well done Martin. Hope you've got home okay.

Merry Christmas to everyone .

[1300dolly]

Madman of the week award goes to martin.it was scary enough driving 20 miles in this weather.

good to see you all and happy holidays/christmas/ seasonal greetings to all.

sorry to have missed Len , hope the wife is ok.

next meet in the dry warm weather (in daylight)

[David6214]

and project secret stayed that way justyn - so that sall good news. I thought when the x reg cars were mentioned you might have been in trouible though....assuming its the one I think it is?

[1300dolly]

No nothing to do with the x reg one. I have BIGGER plans than that.
Sarah just ignores me now when i mention cars for sale.
As long as i pay for her driving lessons/test and she has a car to drive that will keep her happy for a few weeks.

[Nick C]

Good to meet you all and put some faces to names/usernames - hopefully next time I'll turn up in my own car, rather than my housemate's leaking spitfire....

Merry Christmas all!

[mbellinger]

Many thanks to all you guys for your hospitality yesterday evening. It was really nice to spend some time with you all talking Dolly's, and especially putting some more faces to names.

The weather was (as predicted) awful and goading PKO along with one speed wipers and candlepower lights was character building to say the least, but I would not have missed the evening.

The journey back was fractionally less inclement, as the rain eased from stair rod to mere downpour ferocity. Must have had the wind behind though, as I manged the return leg in 1 hour 36 minutes. The old girl sat happily at 85-90 elephants all the way back up the motorway, but I was a little tired when I got back....

Thanks again chaps for a really enjoyable time.
