[Harsh]

The first breakfast club of the year and the theme is Tax-free Sunday - For all pre-1973 classics.

Bruce has an Alvis and

oh wait a minute, do they mean cars or people.
i'm a pre 1973 classic (probably the most polite way of putting it i suppose!)

BADGER, BADGER, BADGER, BADGER, BADGER!! did I mention the Baja is pre '73? I'll ask mark if there's any chance of rebuilding my engine by then and hopefully bring it along. Probably not quite the sort of classic they envisage ;-)

[KO993C4S]

Are we expecting 39 cars at Guildford for the drive up to Goodwood (sorry for silly question)...

[Dan H]

Looks like it.

That's not too bad a turnout really :)

[KO993C4S]

OK - I hope Mr Plod dont get too excited about the size of the convoy ... !

[Fiona]

OK - I hope Mr Plod dont get too excited about the size of the convoy ... !

Don't worry, Mr Plod is a Petrolhead too :thumb:
....though I don't see his name on the list.

[scrubberamit]

i think mr plod & my mate rory will be meeting us there @ teh cathedral... i assume we're talking about the same mr plod

[ChrisC]

Sorry folks Im going to have to pull out, ,my spit just broke her universal joints on the driveshaft. Too much power ;) , doh!

[Dan H]

You could come in one of your other cars :D

[Ziggy Parker]

Is anyone driving up from Somerset or that way?

[Fiona]

I'm having a few car issues at the moment.....

550 Spyder - under construction
Baja - cracked crank case
Sera - Over-heating
Sebring - Sound's like it's running on 2 cylinders, smoking and shooting flames from the exhaust :eek:

Why does it all have to happen at the same time :confused:

The Baja's at Dreamshack and Mark's chucking another engine in it this week so hopefully I can get down there and pick it up before sunday. Especially as it's 1969 so qualifies :thumb:

However, if all else fails, is there anyone who could give me a lift from Thorpe Park area? That's west London between staines and chertsey, close to the M25.

[spiritof'76]

Going to give this one a miss in favour of the Ace the following night and Aprils breakfast club :)

[Boris]

Going to give this one a miss in favour of the Ace the following night and Aprils breakfast club :)

Cant you just do both ;)?!

[spiritof'76]

Cant you just do both ;)?!

Heart says yes........ but wallet says hang on a mo :o

I think 2010 could well be a classic year for running with all the good ideas that have been thrown around lately so that's going to entail lots of miles which means more maintenance and costs so i'm going to try and be a little selective in this early part of the season as i don't want to run out of steam later in the year :)

Does that make any sense or just sound sensible and boring :leaving:

Nick, if I have a car on the road in time, it'll be the Baja......which doesn't do much more than 50mph. I see a Morris Traveller on the list too, so I feel this may not be the fastest of hoons. Or maybe the slow cars can take the direct route while the others take the more scenic route?

[Boris]

Heart says yes........ but wallet says hang on a mo :o

I think 2010 could well be a classic year for running with all the good ideas that have been thrown around lately so that's going to entail lots of miles which means more maintenance and costs so i'm going to try and be a little selective in this early part of the season as i don't want to run out of steam later in the year :)

Does that make any sense or just sound sensible and boring :leaving:

This sounds a lot like what I should be doing, but I am young and stupid and so will ignore common sense and to hell with the monetary results!

[Dan H]

I'm having a few car issues at the moment.....

550 Spyder - under construction
Baja - cracked crank case
Sera - Over-heating
Sebring - Sound's like it's running on 2 cylinders, smoking and shooting flames from the exhaust :eek:

Why does it all have to happen at the same time :confused:

The Baja's at Dreamshack and Mark's chucking another engine in it this week so hopefully I can get down there and pick it up before sunday. Especially as it's 1969 so qualifies :thumb:

However, if all else fails, is there anyone who could give me a lift from Thorpe Park area? That's west London between staines and chertsey, close to the M25.

Fiona,

I'm sure I can pick you up and drop you home if you like?

[Fiona]

Fiona,

Cheers Dan,

Hoping to pick the Baja up saturday morning but any problems I'll give you a shout ta :thumb:

Am I just tight or is that rather pricey for a second hand engine :eek:

[Ziggy Parker]

Scooby engine would work.. and a lot cheaper

[Fiona]

Hmm, I think the Baja will stay air-cooled for reliability, especially in the hot countries he goes through. It's a thought for the Porsche, not sure if it'll fit though.....:confused: Probably best if I leave the engine stuff to Dreamshack and I stick to driving them :thumb:

[Ziggy Parker]

yeah when i had my Bug ....we kinda looked down on the water cooled lot..... its the same when i had the camper!!

The Splitty lot looked down at the bay windows pre 73 , the pre 73 bay windows look down on the post 73 bay windows....and everyone looked down and didnt wave to the T25's all good fun...

[Fiona]

I don't look down on anyone(I'm too short), just thought water cooled and desert heat wouldn't mix too well.

[Ziggy Parker]

you off again then at some point?

[Fiona]

you off again then at some point?

Oh, I'm always thinking about where I can go next. I'd really like to do the Pan-american highway or a circuit of South America or the length of Africa. It's going to be a while before I have the time and money for another big trip though. I am thinking I may go and visit friends in Western Sahara next winter. They run fishing charters on the lagoon in Dahkla where the Sahara meets the Atlantic and also run off-road safari's in the desert. Thought I might take 3 or 4 weeks out to drive down there and do some off-roading in the Sahara :D

Hi Bachi!

We are aiming to make this, very early for us or we Holiday Inn it, at Guildford.
Will be taking it easy as Karen is due in two weeks you just can't stop her, shes mad.
We'll aim for the 0700 start.

m1bjr - R26 or S2000

[MaserMartin]

47. Masermartin - Ghibli ( wish it was a pre '73, but my pockets aren't that deep :) )

[Harsh]

Steve, be great to catch up mate, and congrats once again :)

Martin, looking forward to seeing the Ghibli (oh and are you coming to the Ace on Monday....i know Blib wants to take another look at your car :) )

[MaserMartin]

I'm not sure about the Ace. It will depend on the weather and on how desperate I am to drive stupid amounts of miles on the Monday :)

We'll have to see!

Be good to see you both.

Lots of baby chat then :D

[m1bjr]

Oh no, not more....

:D

[MaserMartin]

OK time for a little story. I have had the Ghibli SORN'ed and parked up in a secure underground car park space over the winter (the wheel arches are juuust starting to get a little bubbly and we know how much salt goes on the roads - well I was pretty much along the right lines there!).

Plan was to tax it today, wash all the dust off and join you guys tomorrow. However, it seems I might have overlooked a little detail called the MOT, which I thought ran till the end of the month but in fact expired on Wednesday.

Upshot? Car now stuck in underground car park, can't get tax without MOT, can't drive it to the MOT without Tax afaik. Currently waiting for AA Legal advice to get back to me with their suggestions!

"Bugger" :(

[Fiona]

I thought you were allowed to drive it to and from the test centre without road tax as long as you have it booked in for the test and can prove that's the only place you were going. I've done it a few times and I'm sure that's what i was told by the test centres.

[Harsh]

if you have prebooked an MOT you can legally drive it to the MOt station.

also if you buy tax online you can still drive it as long as you keep the receipt with you in the car.
go for it :)

[MaserMartin]

Yup, AA have just confirmed that's the case, and insurance co have said I'd be OK from their perspective too. Phew :)

[Harsh]

great :clap:


see you in the morning :)

[chevy-stu]

Was gonna say.. If you're on the way to an MOT it's ok..

I'm going to be there too

see you at Guildford

See you there as I live close by......

[jumplead]

I'm out unfortunately...

3000M isn't taxed and won't pass an MOT, Chim needs tyres and the Monaro is with my old man. I'll stay in bed :)

[MaserMartin]

Hurrah - All Taxed and MOT'd :boing:

[Gizmo]

I'll be there too, with a no-doubt sleepy passenger :D

Roof-down, of course. ;)

[Fatboy 18]

:wavey: Will meet you all at Guildford, I will be on 2 wheels, car still not finished :banghead:

[Elliott]

Have fun everyone.

Love the Ghibli Martin!

[KO993C4S]

Boo Hoo !!!! I suffered a tyre puncture just as I joined the M25 near Heathrow !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Luckily, I just started to accelerate, felt the rear end twitch and saw smoke coming from rear right tyre !!!!!!!

I saw quite a few "pre-73" cars zooming by ..... i am devastated !!!!!!!!!!!!!! But thankfully, car and me OK... just ordered replacement online... hey ho...
SORRY EVERYONE - miss another PN outing AGAIN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Fatboy 18]

A good morning :thumb: I must get a heater for the bike though :D I'm still bloody freezing. See you up the ACE tomorrow :thumb:

Mark.

[verysideways]

I've just been out on the bike, just about to head out again too :)

[Fatboy 18]

Well at 6:30 this morning with a heavy frost everywhere and a open face helmet, it was a tad cold sir!

[NWVT]

im just uploading my pics now :)

[Zebrano]

Great run down, fantastic cars and a superb turnout at Guildford.

[Dan H]

Good to see a massive turnout on a very cold morning.

I think I have just about defrosted, I probably should have kept the roof up, but that'd have just been a bit odd - isn't that right Bachi? ;)

Lots of people I didn't managed to say hello to, so hello now :)

Had a good run leaving Goodwood with Bachi, Amit & Haroon - Am I the only one who spotted the Police car in a car park somewhere on the way back? Still as we stick to the speed limits all the time it wasn't a problem - but driving everywhere in first gear made for a loud journey :D

[MaserMartin]

Nice one guys, it was a massive turnout at Guildford, good job we left when we did, otherwise I think we would have had cars queueing down the left hand side of the hill too!

@Blib: Thanks! :p

@Dan - no, Sparky and I saw it on the way back too, you weren't imagining it! Apparently my online Tax purchase at 8pm last night made it onto the police computer OK, either that or the donuts were too tasty to bother ;)

[jumplead]

Looks like I missed a good day...

And typically i've just gone and bought a car suitiable after the event.....

Those on my facebook will know what it is... collect it next weekend hopefully

[NWVT]

the pics are up and in this thread :) http://www.petrolheadnirvana.com/torque/showthread.php?p=12961#post12961

ah missed out, nevermind next time! wether played ball for once!

[Ziggy Parker]

Nightmare for us...... Alecia was going to arrive at my house Sat night at 8..... she rang about 7.30 saying caouldnt start the car... battery has been playing up. So I went over to her's with some jumpleads...got car started and as we weer drinving over to my house I said that she can take car into Porsche on Monday and get battery replaced and also while she's at it get the car its 20,000 service and extend warranty. she then pulled out the tax disc ...and noticed it ran out end of feb..lol. so we turned round went back to her house to get some tax on line.... and yep you guessed it....no MOT. So Sunday was a non started unless I wanted to drive down in my boring V70.. Ended up in Swindon looking for a new Bike for me..

Car all booked in for MOT , service, warranty , Clean and anything else it needs... we were both gutted not to make it down seeing the sun was out! ... ohh well there's plenty other meets im sure!

[john lloyd]

I tell you what it was bloody cold, my hands took the rest of the day to thaw out! I hope Fiona got her video camera back and I'm looking forward to seeing the footage. I ended up leading a splinter group that turned left just before Midhurst to go along the A272 to Petworth and then on down to Goodwood. I prefer this way the roads are more fun!

One of the busiest Breakfast clubs I've been to in a while the range of cars was fantastic. I love the smell of old cars. The smell of leather and oil does something very strange to me :)

[Fiona]

Funny you should mention the video, here it is.....edited to one of my favourite feel good tracks :D

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmkTgQkB2Ts&feature=channel

Didn't use much of the footage from the Atom, the trouble with leading the group is that with the camera facing forwards all I got was shots of empty roads. I was watching it thinking you must have driven down there on your own, next time I'll face the camera backwards ;) Got some good stuff on the way back to go with it though and some shots down there of course. enjoy :D

Thanks to Dan for the lift down there (with all my cars knackered:(). I have to say I've never really paid much attention to S2000's......I will now! :D

[scrubberamit]

yeah - you cut out the bit where i slid near the roundabout after leaving gates @ goodwood... x x thankyou!!

[MaserMartin]

/me waits for a hastily re-edited version with that put back in ....

[Fiona]

You know what, I didn't even notice that, will have to review the rushes when I get home. Not surprised I missed it though, I was half asleep editing it :sleepy:
One of these days maybe I won't have to work till 2am the night before a run! :rolleyes:

Yeh, sorry about that I ended up leading a group. I did tuck up behind the Beetle on the A3 for you, I'm surprised not to see that in the edited clip and towards the end I got behind an orange TVR which I over took and 3 other cars at the same time. It would be nice to see that if you get time to create another version of my run down.

[swampy56]

Love the video, looks like there was some awesome cars there, and a great turn out.:) roll on summer !

The camera had stopped recording after 30 minutes so didn't get the later stuff. No idea why, it behaved perfectly well for the rest of the day. Battery was fine and only half way through the tape - bizarre! I do have the Beetle shot though, I meant to put that in, not sure why it didn't make the cut although I was very tired so probably just forgot it.

Not planning another video or re-edit just yet but I expect I'll do a highlights one later in the year when I have footage from a few other meets so that and Amit's skid could well end up on there :D ....or maybe after Dunsfold I'll have enough "Ooops" moments to edit together a PN bloopers clip ;)

Thankfully the most spectacular spin, so far, by a PN member was not caught on camera :leaving:

[john lloyd]

Fiona,

The Atom does that to electrical things! Car vibrates like hell and with the stiff suspension I most probably hit a pothole which caused the camera to jump and switch off!!

I figured it must be something like that because the camera still seems fine. Mind you it survived the Sebrings suspension which is about as firm as they come and the grown up camera survived a spin on Bachi's atom!
