Hi Phil,
Excellent [:D] [:D] The exact point we were making- YOU OPEN THE BONNET AND THEY WILL COME [:D]
The funny bit was everyone crowded around 'Amber' then Chris opened his bonnet and we all literaly ran over to look much to the suprise of Chris and disappointment and confusion to Zoe [:D]
Cheers John

im still not sure what they were looking at under Ambers bonnet !! but was a shame they wernt all on the M45 , but thanks to the two chaps that did stop , it was realy kind , thanku very much !! we got taken straight home on relay by AA then a realy nice AA man came to the house and made tempory repairs to get her going , got to have some new wiring , some wires were routed incorrectly and had rubbed againts metal causing power to ignition coil to fail , the AA man was used to old cars he was realy good , used to have a dolomite sprint , and acually volenteered to come out on the job to Amber ,was great to meet u all , and my friend sandi thought it was great , steve and the kids loved it too !! zoe

Some videos should never see the light of day. [:o)]

All of your pictures are terrific though. It would be good to get the owner to stand by their cars for some of these photos.

I've just noticed the petrol pump pic on the previous page. You guys pay twice what we pay!

Never say die. At least not while you're still breathing.

Peter thats been an ongoing problem in this country for some years now the petrol prices, not only do they tax you to the hill, they want to you to drive all these eco friendly eurobox cars, ohh and Dave told me the other day that from next year out TR7, will be over Â£200 a year to tax, welcome to Great Britain!

Steve _ I cant belive you put that petrol pump picture up - I only took it cos neither of us had a pen to write down how much u'd put in the tank....

As for the "Works Opel" - it was un-official TRDC National Weekend support vehicle - in that, it brought the Leffe along....

Fantastic

I just downloaded the lot ...[:I]

But in seeing it on the forum I decided to keep it as it was a very clear shot

Just to show our friends over the waters how much we are paying for our fuel

Stevie

Top pictures from the weekend.

I now have a new ring tone "The Red Hot Chilli Pipers".

Glad you got back in one piece.

I met up with a chap from Glasgow today in Kettering and he flies down for meetings, when I told him you drove down in a TR7 he said you were "off yer 'ed".
