Unfortunately, the car turns, but wouldn't start! In other words, it starts no problem, but it would not fire up. Left it for an hour or so, but it would still would not start.

Could it be lack of use? I just renewed my classic car insurance with a mileage cap of 1.5K. It looks like I just did 150 miles.

Hi guys, great to see you all that made it.
We had a great run home with no hold ups. My navigator (Rusty) who i followed to the m25 was flying along, mad max come to mind. Special thanks to Darrell for the fire display Saturday night, lol.
Hope to meet up again soon.

Home at last, good weekend guys, excellent turn out. Thanks for the car advice and what not, the next one should be good! On the way hom my exhaust slowly deteriorated, it cracked at woolley edge then 5 miles from home completely snapped so it was a tank 126 when I finally made it back home. I will unpack tomorrow, it is currently dumped on the road outside.

And next time dont let Michael drink a bottle of whiskey..

My deville also broke down before home. Now I am waiting for some parts from Poland and I will be fixing all engine. I have many many photos, I will add soon how it is possible. Great event, wonderful people, see you next time. Regards.

As ever it was great catching up with cars and faces old and new & although I guess that the main event is the hill climb on Sunday being at a world famous venue but the build up from Friday and social side is always a buzz even if it does leave you a little drained by Sunday .
The run there was a bit of a drag taking taking over 5 hours due to a number of Friday traffic hold ups plus a road closure due to a traffic accident but that did include a lunch stop as well. I am sure that there will be pics popping up here to fuel comments, hopefully none of me at the late night "sing-alonga-at-the-Skoda-tenta" event  ;D
I had reset my timing before leaving on Thursday but not driven the car till leaving on Friday. Realised it was a little too advanced but running ok. Made a light adjustment at RR which seemed to suit the engine quite well so the drive back in the sunshine was a real joy. Everything in the new engine seems to have settled in after about 400 miles and it was willing & flying . I was surprised at one point when giving it some wellie , I let it rev in third gear and ended up changing to top gear at 60 mph. That was on the gps sat nav  :o and on the flat.
I had heard of 50 shades of grey but I think Michael invented shade 51 going by his face on Sunday morning. I would call it Jura Grey  :P
