Hi,

Got down The Ace early, nowhere as busy as the last few years which is a real shame [:(] Although overcast the weather held, in fact got sun burnt head [B)] Constant stream of cars comming and going all day long. nice to see Adam and his son Darren, John and his good lady, Simon, Benjamin and his good lady,and later in the afternoon Chris and Alan. Also made a lot of new friends who drive Triumphs of all ages and types.
Shame more couldnt have made it but a few picture anyway-

All in all a good day out, didnt get away to 5.30 pm, could have stayed for another beer or two them would have ended up sleeping in the car park [}:)]

Cheers John

IS WAS RATHER QUITER THAN PREVIOUS YEARS and when i left you i decided to go round the North circular, big mistake 2 1/2 hrs to do 27 miles as the Blackwall tunnel was also closed.

and to top it all it rained all day at the Bromley Pageant [:(]

Hi John,

Good to see you mate, it looked like rain early so decided to give Bromley a miss. Did wonder how the weather turned out down there.

Cheers John

Hi Chris,

Pleasure as ever, found a old magazine article ( 2004 ) today on Steve Stringer, he was one of the founders of Star Vans, the guys as you know made the Coke Cars, unfortunatley dont mention the coke cars.
Will do you a photo copy, for your history of the car and bring to Billing with me.

Cheers John
