I mention this because one of our fellow members who was born and grew up
in blackpool and has fond memories of stanley park "philip" form S/Africa
and john 215 used to holiday in fleetwood and visit blackpool as child
and few others have mentioned fond memories of the hole they call blackpool
so ill post pics of my two there in the italian gardens
and if anyone is close by it would be great to see ya there

Shame it clashes with the TR Register party in the park at Knebworth in Hertfordshire [V]

Purple 2.0 Litre DHC Grinnall
Red 4.0 Litre V8 DHC Grinnall (with huuuuuge arches...!)

well what a show it turned out to be must have been about 200 cars at least chinese lion dance/dancers
we had a special visit..... a ultima car as featured in top gear 0-60 in just over 2 seconds and was apparantly driven to the show by Richard hammonds brother awsome car ...google it for more info.... supposed to the world fastest road car so they said at the show





even an odd looking fish car for the festival of light blackpool iluminations..

The fair has gone yes. Not been there for years (Car Park now), everything else pretty much the same. Still the best views from the sea front overlooking Morcambe Bay.

Cheers Colin (Fleetwood)

oh and colin have you got those air filters on yet.........

Hi,
30 years have passed since i was there [:0] so i guess things change, BUT was the first place i saw a TR7 DHC and that my friends is where the story (some may say obsession [:p] ) began!

Yes Gaz fitted them the same night. The car seems to run alot better.

Need a fuel tank now though. There's always somethin isn't there?

Cheers Colin

your not on your own with the fuel tank Colin as the road run at billing showed........
mine could also do with a little,,, replacing [:D]
its all fun.... we'll have to get our cavalry blues out for a run before all the glorious wheather comes to an end [8D] lol,
why don't you come along to stanley park after rugby/football coaching and see the little blue one in the daylight.

It rides again..... and again wehey!!!!!!!

I'll do my best Gaz. Picked a fuel tank up from S&S yesterday just got to find the time to fit it.

Cheers Colin
