Happy New Year one and all, let's hope it's a year packed with dry, sunny weekends for those classic car shows and meets, and some world peace would be nice too. See you around April, once the salt has gone from the roads.

Happy new year to Rick and everyone here.

For me, 2026 can only be better than the last year which saw me struck down with pneumonia . I also lost a lot of money; tens of thousands of pounds. Shocked

Que sera sera.

Over the last few years we simply haven't used the car enough. We tried to get out as much as possible last year but due to where the car is stored it's always difficult, we made it out just a handful of times.

The plan is different this year though, we aim to make the most of it and try and get out when we can but also enter her on some runs and local car meets. Hopefully starting with one tomorrow!!
