Well you all missed a good show, plenty of variety and even Mrs Oilyrag wasn't bored......enjoyed looking at all her old motors and even bought two Christmas presents!
What about the weather tho !! PHEW!!! Very nice run down through N.Weald/Epping/forest.....didn't touch motorway's on the return.
Very much enjoyed Bones company ......good chinwag about many different things ......oh and the cars, thanks mate, maybe you'll come to an Essex meet......next ones a chatty one but in Oct the winter programme is kicking-in.........right up your street, all techy stuff! [8|]

Sorry I didn't make it Tom.

We had a 944 Register meet on Saturday and with Brands last weekend I thought I could be pushing my luck a little bit. [&o]

Glad to hear you had a good time. If I'd have been at the meeting we might have been able to encourage Gail, Rob and Colin to come along at least.

Feelings mutual Tom I enjoyed your's and Sue's company very much. I've been thinking for some time about joining up with the Essex Region meetings as it's closer for me than my own region meetings unless the ACE becomes a fixture in the calendar. All those who dodn't turn up missed some fabulous cars including two dainty but beautifully restored 1934 Singer Le-Mans. Tom the Pelican link you wanted is

Could even pick them up whilst at PCA 50th anniversary/parade next year, dates are 24th June thro 1st July (as the Americans would say) at Hershey PA ....near Philly but have yet to confirm with organiser if overseas visitors can be accomodated. []
Cheers Bones

As I mentioned I have a suspension upgrade/refurb planned for next year so if I can save money and it's possible it's woth considering. The Wizard is extremely logical and well thought out.
