Hope everyone is enjoying themselves! Gutted I couldn't make it, I got stitched up by work and had my annual leave cancelled. 

Even more pissed off as I bought a de ville especially for the summer shows. Anyway, hopefully will make it in 2015! My mate is getting married next year in Portugal so wont make it next year either.

Anyway, hope you all drank lots and enjoyed it.

Hi Guys just got in Great to meet up with you all, the Bis never missed a Beat 174 miles in 3h22 mins Hope you managed to sort the motor Steve? 

[Rusty's Uncle]

Good to meet up with friends old & new and sad about those who did not make it. Made it home OK after a carb problem and a snapped starter cable on the way there  
So tired though, got back and fell asleep at my lap top as I was checking e-mails

 Just as above. We had a great weekend again, so thanks to everyone .
 Nice to meet some new forum members too.

 We made it home without any problems and the car was running like a beauty despite having few little problems on the way up. The one shocking thing was the fuel consumption figure I think, I`ll be changing my carb and few other bits.

Hey all,

Awesome weekend (as expected!) - so lovely to catch up with all you lovely people!

Have been home for an hour now - broke down irreparably on the M25 and needed to be put on a truck:
This took some time to organise, so  Oscar and Andrew headed home while I talked cars with the RAC bloke.  The wrong rescue vehicle came initially, so by nearly midnight the RAC guy took me to South Mimms Services to wait for the truck and car and finally got hauled home by a lovely but completely MAD rescue lorry driver!!  Drove like a nutter...!!!  Survived though, and got in at quarter to two.

No idea what the problem is, but gonna check compression tomorrow as it may be a blown valve...

As one person texted me: Can't believe you made it to Slovakia and back but the M25 got you!

Says it all...!  lol

See you all again soon,

Lina

Car home in one piece.

Towed beautifully on the a frame.

Good to see all.

Camp bed is being tortured with a base ball bat, just doing what it did to my back.

Till next year to figure out this camping thing, might be an idea to take over a B&B close by.

I found a very good tool to make my tent more comfy.
Beer.

Our Stand At The Show

[1973/126]

 So a few photos from me as well. This show was truly massive. There are loads of photos on the RR forum of all the different cars as you don`t get the scale of the event this way.
 We`ll definitely be back again next year.
