By gum it's quiet in here. What's everyone up to then?

I'm going to Harewood House this Sunday with the West Yorks TVRCC. On Monday I'm off to Keswick for a week under canvas so the weather is guaranteed to be wet. Return just in time for C in the P on 27th June. Back to work for 4 days then off to PF 04. Booked into a B&B near Shrewsbury as a post PF retreat (sorry Wendy but I won’t be here on 6th). After that I'm free until BNG 24th and 25th July.

Post PF retreat - Hope to get some nice pics of the car with this in the background.

Working I imagine - anyway, hello Bob, good to meet you last week and I'm sure will see you all again soon. Would have been up for the Bolton Abbey (??) meet but unfortunately that is Goodwood festival weekend, and I'm down there with a few mates for the three days. On that note, is anyone else heading down?

Anymore suggestions for a pub meet, I thought somewhere around Middleton/Stanhope area would be good, but either way I'm pretty flexible.

PS. Porker all sorted now, so hopefully no more German reliability problems

Yeah it is a bit quiet round here.

Very nice too Bob - could do with some of that R&R myself. I'm a bit busy with work atm, need to book some holiday soon though before my diary fills up with meetings!

On a car note, stuttering under acceleration fixed at Hexham by replacing the coil/ignition module. I limed it to hexham then it died completely when the engineer was road testing it - perfect timing! Running great now - all I need is some time to drive it!

Richard Pogson runs this. I'll e-mail you his number. It's the usual show your car and sit around & chat with folk. I love it because Harewood House is such a great location.

Well I'm off to find a pub for our next meet. Can't let a nice evening like this go by without a drive.

I am still around, but grappling with some personal issues at the moment. And the all important question:

Baffles or no Baffles??

No baffles, it's that simple.

So did you find a pub? Went for a run down weardale and across to teesdale yesterday. Only likely place was the three tuns in Eggleston, but the carpark isn't that big and it's often full of bikes on a pleasant evening.

Also spotted a silver chimeara first comming the oposite way towards stanhope then again through staindrop - or was it two silver chims? Anyone own up?

I spent a large portion of my childhood there.
Eggleston, not the three tuns.
Obviously.

So come on Bob, do tell!

Dexy,

You've got me worried now. Still no PF sticker under your name and now no car either. Time to put your hands in those deep pockets and pull out a nice Tuscan.

Shame about the ECU dexy. So once Wedg1e's smashed yours to bits with a lumphammer, where do you get a new one from?

As bob says, time for another Tiv! Griff or Tuscan, than's the question.
