Have you got any car events lined up over the festivities?

We've a New Year's Day meet taking place (on Jan 1st funnily enough), and we may get up to the Boxing Day meet in Lymm.

Or will you instead be retiring to the garage, to avoid The Great Escape etc etc?

Hopefully, I will be spraying the boot, bonnet and wing tops on the vogue.

Vehicles are stored away for the winter, time to play with model trains and slot cars. Very Happy

My plan is to move my old lorry and two cars and all of my kit out of my workshop in order to seal then paint the floors.

After New Year's eve spent with the Royale Caravan Owner's Club, I doubt that I'll fit for much on Ist January!
Nothing planned for that other festivity.

The Series 2a Land Rover is due to have some fairly major work in the New Year, so, family visits permitting, I hope to make a start on Boxing Day.
I just cannot sit around all day watching television or doing nothing useful even over the Christmas festivities.

I have finally found enough motivation to start removing all the paint from the bodyshell of the Jaguar Mark 2 (for the second time!) in the New Year when it warms up in , say, March.

The Series 1 Land Rover is patiently waiting it's turn.

Hoping to get all the little jobs finished so I can fire up the rebuilt engine before new year.

Got to strip and repaint the bonnet.

That will be after the festivities.

PS. and carry on looking for a Nuffield fourspeed gearbox.

I'm hoping for fine weather on December 30th for the Dave Wilcox Memorial Trial in Derbyshire run by the Pre-War Austin Seven Club:

It should be fun as long as it's not too cold and wet!!!!!

Non-PWA7C members are welcome to spectate; I'm not sure whether an entry list will be published before the event, but if so I'll try and get it listed here. There are usually about 30 Austin Sevens (many double entered) and around twenty other pre-war cars ranging from Bugattis and Frazer Nashes to Model A Fords.
The site is in an old quarry (Butts Quarry) in Ashover, just off the A632 about half-way between Chesterfield and Matlock. (OS ref 344633, start approx. 10 am).
