Well I usual say another great meet but have got fed up of saying it as they always are !
Owners travelled from Leeds, Reading, Tenbury, Manchester, Germany, Benwick, Evesham and no doubt other none local places too, aswell as all the locals there.
It was lovely to see Dave & Marina, Chris from Bolton, Dave ( Dattrike ) who gave me a bear hug, Rob who was new to the meets from Tenbury Wells, and others who are all welcome. I was gutted to miss Jürgen & Mick during the evening but unfortunately had to leave a bit earlier on Saturday afternoon and never made it back as my grandchildren were staying over.
Thanks to the T4 guys, Jamie on Saturday and Sunday going around with his virtual T4 on his laptop, and Duncan on Sunday, Arctic who just goes from 1 job to another and never seems to get fed up of working on these cars and has now built up so much knowledge to help other owners.
I never thank Rob ( Woolleysox ) but he always makes sure we fly the flag ( and the right way up ! )at the entrance so a big thanks to him too.
When Chris turned up with his failed bonnet opening the crew were like flies homing in to help a fellow owner and it makes me realise what a fantastic and unique bunch we have at these meets and everyone is prepared to give up their precious time to help.
I had a problem with my reversing sensors but sorted early on Saturday with the help of Chris, Derek and Jamie plus Rob who had a couple of spare sensors, many thanks guys.
We probably didn’t get through as many jobs as usual but still plenty going on, and it gave us the chance to catch up with each other and have a chat.
I really do think that these meets , which have been going for 10 years now, offer more help and assistance than any other forums I know of, we are hands on and proud of it.
There is no Nano in August which we always avoid as it’s the holiday season but we will be back in September and October to finish off the year and hope to see you all then , in the meantime there is a Nano social night at the Ashes on 20th August for those that can make it and we hope for a good turnout.
My pictures taken at the meet can be found here:
viewtopic.php?f=181&t=583Look out for :
Arranged fly past by a microlight ( the Spitfire was too expensive )
Arctic removing and replacing an injector
Bernard’s recent modification to his V8 which is now supercharged
Dave mending VIS motors with his eyes closed he has done that many.
Arctic’s new mug courtesy of Ade
Martyn's Classic MGB
The bottom of 2 doors showing that pre project drive there were seals all along the bottom
John Astons’s copperleaf 75 - do you know of one any better ?
Bernard and Richards black MG V8s both with the Roewe bumper conversion that looks superb (and they both sound great too ! )
A few of the pictures have a good effect as the grass was so long even when cars parked over it it sprung back high and gives the appearance that grass has grown around the cars but none look abandoned !
Hopefully see you all at the next one and if you are going on holiday in the meantime have a good one !
