A few of us from here went to the Manchester Branch Rally today which was held as usual at the Bus Museum in Cheetham Hill.

It was a great event with a record turn out (not sure of the numbers exactly).

Here are the pictures:

Can I second that a great day out with a ride on a vintage bus thrown in eee reet took me back to my school days it did! They actually have a bus in there I did ride most school days in the sixties and early seventies, it was like seeing an old friend!
Over 40 minors turned up, great effort, thanks to all concerend in organising it.

Got to work today and my mate said he saw a lovely yellow convertable in Stafford on Saturday that seemed wider than a normal Moggy. Now I see where it was going.
Looks like a great day.

I personally would like to see more 'other marques' at rallies. You know what they say, variety etc, etc
