Wigan Micro Meet
Sunday was all quiet in the Armstrong abode when we heard a large vehicle passing and turning at the end of our cul-de-sac.
We all rushed to the window because we are very rarely treated to a HGV on a Sunday. No truck to be seen but . . . . . dah dah!!!! A S8 pulled up in front of the house. Was this the noisome beast? YES it was. Mark (Moltuae) and his good lady had popped by for a visit. A cuppa, then outside to a load of car bollards and a photo. The items that matter, left to right

I hope my rather loud exhaust didn't annoy any of your neighbours Ray. I must get it modified to make it quieter .... someday Thanks for the cuppa. It was great to see you and Craig again.

Something I've just found ....
SUNDAY 12 MAY 2019 FESTIVAL OF 1000 CLASSIC CARS Cholmondeley Castle, Nr Malpas, Cheshire, SY14 8AH http://www.classicshows.org/festival...n-12-may-2019/ Sounds a lot like the Belvoir Castle event. Similar prices and rules, in that you can exhibit any car that is 15 years or older: Quote:

Ah, that's a shame.
If we don't manage to arrange something before the annual meet, the same car show is on again in September apparently: http://www.classicshows.org/festival...eptember-2019/ I might still go to the May 12th event ... if anyone else can make it?

Sorry Boys, I can't make the 12th. I'm on parade at The Arboretum.

Funnily enough there is an occasional foul smell of burning oil (from the crankcase breather, I think), but I didn't think it was that noticeable! I wonder if we should just pick our northern mini-meet location mathematically? ...
Granted, we could end up in an Asda car park in Crewe, so we might need to tweak the final result a little.

I was planning on phoning you to arrange something but you have pre-empted me, thanks. I'll see you on 12th May at yours after the service.
