Thanks Art, Ill be planning more this year, including some european ones if you are up for it?

Hi all, My name is Tom, quite a few of you will know me, have met me and already cant stand me! For those that dont know me, the rumours are true and believe everyone! 😁 I have been strong-armed(!) into becoming the clubs NEO or National Event Organiser which involves planning, organising and attending shows for the club. I have always enjoyed this aspect of club membership and have been planning events and meetups for the past couple of years in the South Region. With COVID in the rear-view mirror and spring around the corner, I would like 2023 and onwards to bring us all together once again. We all love these cars and it doesnt matter if its a pristine garage queen or a rusty project, we need to see them out and about. You, yourselves need to get out in them and enjoy them. Chasing perfection will never make you happy if the car stays stuck in the dark. Meeting up with all of us for a drive, a lunch, an overnight stay or an epic trip will put a smile on your face and bring the mojo back! As I am based in the South, I know the local shows around here well, however Im not so hot on the rest of the country and google can only take me so far. I am asking all of you to post about shows that are local to you, regional to you or even national. Dont assume I know about the show! My plan is to create a map here on the website with: Shows/events as one type of marker Fun meeting places as another type Nice routes to drive as another I will keep the map up to date with your suggestions so that you can find things easily and if you are travelling to a new area you can look up some nice locations and routes. On top of that, I will keep the events threads up to date with shows and meetings, organise club stands at shows and be welcoming to all of you! Its very easy for a small club like us to become clicky. We are inclusive and open, so if you see any of us at a show come up and introduce yourself. Lets get to know each other away from the keyboard...

@Aff68 He is compensating because its only blue.... 😁

Yes, and you cant get fined for leaving your car running unattended. Mine came with a timer fitted when it was imported. I havent removed it, but I dont really use it either

"Zed this!"

@RichardS what was the outcome of the polls for date and location?

I would be interested in one with the white zed logo, especially to support a fellow forum member

Happy birthday slow coach....🍻🍻🍻

Happy birthday Jim!!

That's my boot lid and rear wiper! 2 is very close to 3 on the keyboard... ?

You only live once?

We got there about 08:45 after a slight detour.

We were behind you all the way, I could see you 4-7 cars in front but we got stuck behind a Citroen that sat in the fast lane and wouldn't move. I followed him all the way to the M25 junction! Nice pictures!

Are you running the marathon as well?

Thanks for an awesome day today guys @ianl @RichardS @Howl It was great to get the cars out and stretch their legs (!) @Howl it was nice to meet you and your legacy. I'm jealous! Anyway, car is having a good clean tomorrow and then back to bed for a month or so before the next trip somewhere! The location was fantastic, an old air base with all the cars parked randomly between all the buildings looked really cool! Also, being a morning only, there was no pressure to stay all day to 'make it worth it'. You could easily pop up to the show for an hour or two, have a coffee and wander around, then go back to family life/jobs/chores in the afternoon. I did, even with a 2.5 hour drive each way! I was happy, wife was happy, government fuel duty was happy! All winners....! Anyway, here is some porn....

Midnight club...

I can meet you en route Ian as I'm coming along the M25. Everyone else: we can meet at the Esso EG petrol station just off the roundabout by the M&S foodhall at 08:30?

Its ok though, they are legal... @sumshiftyguy

Looks like its just you and me @RichardS

Another shameless bump to raise awareness and donations!

Hi, welcome to the club! I am also in Eastbourne, old town area.

Thank you very much!

I enter the subject and message contents in the PM to Gio, hit the send button and get the 404 error. Three times in a row. We both have subscribed so not that issue. Strange

I'm trying to message you my address but keep getting a 404 error @JaiKai

I'll be there, this is a AAA show, a great day out guys!
