Classic cars forum & vehicle restoration.

Not far off now (April 21st), what's everyone doing to take part?

There's a VSCC run out to a watering hole/eatery taking place, if the tourer is back in one piece by then it'd be neat to take it, otherwise we could go in the PV and hide in the corner of the car park

I don't have anything old enough to qualify for a VSCC event

I'm planning to do the North Norfolk Classic Vehicle Club's "StGeorges Day" run from Sheringham to Hoveton Hall on 21st April. The event is in aid of the East Anglian Air Ambulance and is timed to coincide with Drive It day. It is very much open to anyone with a classic car so if anyone in the area fancies getting involved I'm sure you would be most welcome. More info here : http://www.nncvc.org.uk/NNCVC/Welcome.html
Give either Roy Beckley or Graham Gibbins (number on web link) a call if you want to join in.

Rochdale vintage and collectors car club are having a run to Runcorn (leaving Rochdale town hall at 10am)

but the Alvis owners club are at the piece hall in Halifax......


I'm thinking of going to Rochdale in the Alvis to wave them off and then a trip to Halifax may be in order

We've half a dozen Riley Motor Club activities planned around the country, the one I'll be on is a 'Circuit of the Peaks' tour of the northern Peak District leaving The Gate, Cutthorpe (our usual meeting pub) at 10am with lunch at The Plough, Hathersage (the current Derbyshire Dining Pub of the Year ). If anyone would like to join us let me know so I can book them in for lunch.

[Rick]

Given that the tourer is unlikely to be back together by Sunday (unless the post office produces the goods today), I'll probably just go for a run out somewhere. May fire up the truck too.

We have about 10 Morris 8's and old Morris Minors from the Morris Register going round The Elgar Route (Starting at the Elgar Museum at 11.00) which is around Worcestershire, Malvern Hills, etc.

Weather looks OK ish at the moment. Lets hope it holds.

Have a good one!

[Rick]

Well, DiD is here. We went out earlier in the PV to a car boot sale. Not seen any other oldies out there as yet, we'll probably venture out again for a cruise around later.

Saw a few oldies go by, and some VWs, otherwise haven't seen much out and about today.

As mentioned, early on we were out in the Volvo.



Then a little later it was the tourer's turn, although it's not running well so that was a brief drive around the lanes and back. More investigation into its poor running required.



This afternoon we took the Rover into town and for a drive around. Didn't see any other old cars.

Just home from Drive It Day, a 60 mile tour of the Peak District. Saw several classics on the road, GT40, Lotus Seven, A105, Jaguar Mk2 x 2, Austin Seven was behind us at the pumps at Tesco, and when we pulled in for a pub lunch the car park had about a dozen assorted Jaguars and Triumphs.
We stopped to re-group at one point and an old boy driving past stopped, hopped out of his car and started taking lots of photos. It turns out he used to work at the Riley factory in the 1930s.
A great day out; the rain held off and I'm home in time for the GP too!

Took the Pop out for a Run with the Sussex section of the Sidevalve Club today, had a great day and saw loads of Classics which all waved
...from 1920's Rolls Royce's to Morris Minors/ Travellers, MG's, Austin Sevens and more....
A superb day......and especially when I thought I was going to have to work today !
Plus the weather was Great!
