Hi guys, next Bank Holiday the Mustang Owners Club are meeting at the Classic Car Show at Knebworth.
All makes, models and years can attend so I thought that it would be great to see some PHers there as well.
If there are enough of us there then we could go onto a pub afterwards and have another little meet of our own, venue to be decided on the day to keep away any unwanted attention.cop
Let me know if any of you fancy this, cheers, Rob.

My car's engine is in its component parts at the moment. There's a possibility that she will be running by next weekend, but I won't know for sure until nearer the end of the week.

Possibly, as the new engine went into the Frogeye yesterday and ran for the first time. I've got to finish a few jobs before she leaves the garage, timing, oil in the gearbox, get the oil preassure below 100 psi at tickover. But those webbers sure sound nice.

I'll hopefully have the new engine running by Saturday afternoon so I may have a gentle running in drive up to Knebworth in the Frogeye. Issues with the webbers means that I'll brobably just be running the large SU.
The new engine pushes it from 67BHP to just over 100bhp which doesn't sound much but on such a little highly geared car will make me smile a lot. I'll have to curb my enthusiasm though.

Gary, are you bringing that beautiful little thing to the next PH N.London meet?

Had a good day at Knebworth and saw the mustangs but I didn't really go searching for people.
Had an unneventful but slow drive there and back with no obvious issues with the new engine, it's just sooo frustrating heving to keep the revs down to a point just where the webbers and the cam are coming on song. Just the start of a nice barking noise and a surge forward and I have to back off.
Was it my imagination or were there fewer cars than previous years?

We were parked up the hill behind the three wheeled BMW engined things (I can't remember what they're called).

Messerschmitts?

I've just learnt that my sister was there yesterday. Did you see a woman with some children?

That was them.

Sorry I didn't ask the name of the owners but they weren't speaking German.

I just remebered that they are called Grinnals
