Mine needs a clean but I'm having trubble geting it back from the auto spark. Think surfing saterday is off as ther is she is in a bit of a state with a half built cage in hur and no seats at all. Why must theys things happen at the least opertune times. The joy of a twenty year old car. LOL

Which way are Grant and Niel going? Depending on whether our lass has to work a half shift on the morning might be able to meet up?

Multimap says 5 hours for us - that's not including a detour to pick up ChrisW!

Mick, we'll be heading down the M6, not leaving home until around 12ish, and meeting up with Neil at Tebay services for a coffee break - if that's any good for you?

This is an enthusiasts meet, please don't bring a blanket and try sell your wares in the car park.. If you are selling something bring it by all means to save postage but ffs.. The MG boys will think we are a right bunch of losers!

Just arrived home,us oldies like to take our time,was good to re-meet old faces and put names to a few more faces.
We took advantage of our host's bed and brekkie offer,well recommended to any zoners planning holiday in the area.

Nice one Malcolm! It was very nice to meet you guys too! It was a real pleasure having you all over. I found our chat about M50 conversions most enlightening last night!

Big thanks to all those that came, and we hope you enjoyed Alafowlia's first car meet!

I have put some pictures up in the photo gallery.

Looking forward to the next one! :thumb:

Stella and I had a great time too. Good to put some more faces to names. Alafowlia hospitality was first class as well, and recommended. Hoping to get back to Wales soon.
