Mals drive it day 25th

Post by mal »

Did my own 'extra' drive it day today in lovely sunshine, first time in 4 years the Moggy decided to give up the ghost miles from anywhere :-? I threatened it that I would put it back in the garage and get the Austin A35 out if it didn't start :lol: a swift thump on the petrol pump soon had me under way :lol: that let him know who's the boss :wink: :roll:
Uploaded a couple of photo's specially for Lou.... I know she likes the countryside up here :lol:

Didn't take many pictures on 'National drive it day last Sunday' as it rained most of the day Bill :wink: That's why I had my own 'drive it day' yesterday ( any excuse ) and it never rained once :lol: :lol: Think I'll go out again today 8) btw; I took 118 photo's if you want some more Bill :wink: :roll:

You'll have to come up this area Onne and have a look around :wink:

Cheers Mal, really nice pictures. That's proper countryside for you :D Mind you, I don't think Bert would make it up some of those hills :o

Of course he would Lou :wink:
Pity you couldn't drive Bert up here for 1st July as there's a great show at Beamish Museum, I've already got my pass :lol: I went last year and as you know it's a fantastic day out.... (shhh.. don't tell Bill but it's free ) :lol: :lol: for driver and passenger :wink:


Have a good day
Thanks Bill, I did and went to Whitby for some fish & chips :lol:

I'm not so sure - she really struggled up that hill out of Brighton... :o mind you, now that I've done the points, coil etc she may show signs of improvement, otherwise I'm moving to Holland. Lucky you, going to Beamish, Mal :D

Don't forget though Lou, the air is fresher up here :wink: If you're thinking of visiting your folks up here around that time I can e-mail you a form for the show, all you then need is a SAE and hey presto :lol: btw.. it's free for driver & passenger but extra passengers only pay £5 each... not bad when you see the prices to get in :roll:
I'm sure you would like a photo of 'Bert' alongside mine in the famous High St :wink:

For me that would be a 500+ mile round trip :o Are you coming to the Southern Regional? :wink: (Already had enquiries and we have not even advertised it yet :D )

Sorry Bill :oops:
Didn't realise you were asking me.... I'm fully booked now for the season :wink: bit far though with my health but I certainly would have come down a couple of years ago :wink: I'm having to miss a show today as the wife had to call the doc; out to me on Friday :( doing too much flying around ( as usual ) still think I'm 21 :lol: :lol: so confined to barracks for a few days :(

Thanks Bill :wink:

Funny old life this... I never suffered a thing till a couple of years ago and once you get heart probs; everything else seems to follow on, lungs etc :-? at least I'm not back in Hospital as it was exactly a year today since I was rushed in and on the old oxygen for a couple of weeks :roll:
Apparently this time it was my own fault..... if you look at one of the pictures in the initial posting, there is a nice shot of the Moggy next to a nice yellow rape-seed field :o I never give it a thought and was there a while taking several colourful shots... ah well.. you learn something new everyday :roll:

Actually with last years Southern Regional Rally in mind (and the 7 page article this achieved in Classic Car Mart), that formed a part of the Uffington White Horse Show, which in turn attracted almost 15,000 visitors, I would like to ask a question. How many of you feel that more of our events should be combined with larger, more general shows?
