I was planning on going to Duxford but my girlfriend has put her foot down and convinced me to go to Silverstone for the Le Mans Endurance Series Race on Sunday. As you can imagine, i didnt complain [:D]

Officially, yes but I can't see you being turned away. Just say you're with the TR Drivers Club... [:D]

Here are some pics of our stand, good to see so many TRs with their bonnets open and not one of them broken down! It was nice to see all our usual faces plus John as well, just a shame Mike Jeffries didn't bring his car onto the stand too!

Excellent pictures. Thanks for posting them.

And if you make it to Robsport this Friday tell that Martin Jauncey to behave himself! He's a cheeky bvgger!

Good to meet up with you again John, its always reassuring to know that there is someone there to give me a tow if i need it, not that I do now, 3000 odd miles since the national day I have just about sorted the running problem caused by the MOT!
I too really enjoyed the day such a mix of cars and to see the TR40 in the flesh "Wow".
Paul and Rob were as ever great company and the sound of three V8's driving through the narrow streets in Bishops Stortford was something not to be missed.
Thanks also to Clare and Phil for sorting out my ticket at short notice.

Another great day.

I hope that Chris "T" does not see the pictures as he will see I have cleaned my car again.

Cheers
Ian
