Wiltshire owners!!!

Post by polo2k »

Hi there all, I just took the time to look through the Sarf`ampton thread and it seems like a good idea.

How many members do we have round here? is there enough for a regular meet? monthly?

So... Hold your hands up guys and gals. Whos out there?

Ill start First.

Im Ash, 24 and live in Swindon. Im just getting back into my minor after barely working on her for ages.
Mona is a `63 4 Door from the isle of man. at the moment she has about half an interior, needs various jobs finishing all over. Ive just got her started for the first time in about 4 years, and yesterday rolled her out of the garage for the first time in 2 years.
Im hoping to get her on the road for the end of the summer (maybe even the 60th show)
Ill try and edit this post with some pics but havn`t got any online yet. :)

INTERLOPER! :D

When you all form a group how would you fancy a trip and meet SADMOG out at Gurston Down hill climb venue? It's a cheap days motorsport with plenty of vehicle variety and real near to the Wilts/Hants border.

The famous Trav!
Well time for a progress update to keep this thread alive!
Ive been out in the garage and thrown a new dynamo on, most of the dash controls are working and ive got coolant in there. BUT developed an oil leak on the nose of the crank and a coolant leak on the back of the block where the heater take off is (Sigh)
another day, another broken bolt!

I am putting the question in this thread as it might pull some fellow moonrakers out of the woodwork.

evening squire, one of my neighbours commented on the mini meet we had round the back last week, luckily she likes minors and was chuffed to bits to see 3 at once. (dont tell rob though, she prefers travellers)
