Anyone going to pickering car show ? I have just come out of the garage after getting my jeep running and ready (and several cans of fosters later) I will be taking my jeep on a trailor as i havnt had chance to mot it yet and there is a few jobs i would like to do on it before i get it running on the road again. I am hoping to get it ready for mot next week then run it in for a few 100 miles then take it to york on the 19th june to see what it will do without nitrous. Then the july event i will force feed it laughing gas and see if i can get in to the 10`s. :D or see if any gremlins are set in.

This time last week I was planning on going but things haven't worked out the way I wanted. I may have to give it a miss
Have fun. Hope the sun is shiny.

Please post reminder on 18th June.
I don't want to miss York !

Not sure about Pickering. Most likely following the sun to the Lakes. Mud is ok for Jeeps.

Nice to see you there and that Jago is absolutely awesome.
Shame us kitcar types didn't have our own arena display but the static display outside drew enough attention from the crowds.
Hope to see you at the Pathfinders sometime soon. For tonights meeting we're off to the Dog & Gun at Potto. Leaving in convoy from Stewarts park around 7:30. Not sure how many kits will turn out tonight if its p***ing down. Most of us still haven't dried (or thawed) out since Pickering.
Cheers, Tony (yellow G27)
