we had a note in our last club mag this event was fully booked and they would only let people in with a pass and that a lot of people would not be getting one, so good luck to every one who has got in and have a good day

We are not showing any cars, we are just going to bitch about others. Laughing

Oh yeah, and look like a right pair of p*/;;s.

Success, we looked a right pair of p*/;^s. However we turned up with the Talbot in period dress and how could they resist us? We even blagged our way into the parade. We passed a rather bored looking WPC and shouted " look, no seat belts, na na, na na na!", we did get a smile.

I went to Lavenham around 12pm, I parked my Opel across the road and paid the £5 each for me a Mrs Trigger to get in, There was plenty of space so i asked the marshall on the gate if i could show my car, he said it was fine, so i put it on show, Shame it's in none of your photos though Sad

I did get a shot of your Talbot though.

Sorry Trigger, I will try harder. We must start to put the OCC badge on show. Sorry Rick.
