Sorry to here that Stuey, Everyone was waiting to see the beast
Last Friday I packed the 126 up with all the camping gear and set off on the 152 miles down to the retro rides weekend.
I was really impressed with the car, it kept up with traffic moving at 60/70mph and covered the journey down to Gaydon in 2hrs 40mins which is not bad for Friday traffic.
After talking with friends from RR the rest of the guys from Yorkshire turned up so we opened a few cans and setup the tents, then lit the barbe, after we had eaten and with can in hand went round the camp to chat with guys from RR UK, Holland and Germany. as the evening went on and a few more cans, got invited to watch films as one of the lads had brought a projector, it was a great social evening.
Saturday a few of us went for a drive visiting Warwick, Stratford-upon-Avon, and finished up in Banbury to get more provisions for the evening barbe, we got back to camp and spent a couple of hours going round the Heritage Motor Centre, very interesting. then back to eating, drinking and chatting.
Sunday was show day, after packing up camp we went down to the show area where i met up with ciaoflyer got parked together had a good look at all the retros, also met up with masseratiman who kindly donated a wiper motor for my 126 (good job it did'nt rain on the way down).
So that was my weekend its a pity that other 126's were not there you all missed a fantastic weekend, my 126 ran perfect and did'nt miss a beat in the 426miles it covered. When i got back home i worked out the mileage/petrol = 51.4 MPG which I was very impressed with as I did'nt hang about on the way back (speedo does'nt read high enough) so all in all it was a weekend to Remember.
