Hi,

Can anyone confirm that the Cheshire Run coincides with Drive it Day on Sunday 22nd April? I've looked but can't find it mentioned online anywhere

thanks, R

Yes, that's the day. Unfortunately it clashes with the vintage gathering at The Three Greyhouds. http://www.tractiontalkforum.com/showthread.php?t=21540

A shame as I shall be there and therefore miss the run for the second time in a row Sad

Jullian is the Greyhounds do the 22nd too, or is it the 29th? I thought the Cheshire Run was the 29th and that they Clashed untill a few hours ago when Rick popped round!

Cheers

I think I've had a brain fart on this one Sad The three Greyhounds is in a fortnight ie 28th & 29th. The CRR is the 29th too, ie a clash.

I'm certain of TTG, now I need to check on the CRR! There's not much on Google about it, you'd think the organisers would have some more info out!!!!

PS Many classic motorcycles going south down the A49 today, was it the bike meeting at the Truck Stop near Whitchurch?

Hi

Cheers

Julian.

It was (see http://www.lynnsravencafe.co.uk/). Annoyingly the Guzzi is hors d'combat with a duff fuel pump, so I had to give it a miss

Anyone know the route for the Commercial Run?

I saw a lot of commercials and a small handful of classic cars this morning driving through a very rainy Nantwich towards Whitchurch. I might post some photos if any have come out, I was shooting through the windscreen so I was trying to dodge wipers and raindrops.

Well appalling weather meant that I didn't get to photograph most of the vehicles taking part, but as usual a group of us congregated at an old garage to watch the runners wade by. I took the Morris, buzzy braved the elements and took over his steamer Smile

Hi

It was wet too, and cold!!

Not to worry it was fun!

I like the side pic Rick has taken of the Roller, very smart with the background, I felt very privlidged to get a spot in the dry yesterday!

Again I took no pics really, other than a few simmilar to Ricks of the roller.

Cheers

Hi B
Cold?
When you are carrying your own central heating boiler around?
