Thanks for the update, I'm sure most of us will attend the show, and keep in touch with the Dolphin

Sorry chaps, we are going to pull out of this trip, due to problems with the TF.

There is a burning smell coming from the engine area, and the fan has stopped altogether. Apple MG are taking a look on Wednesday, and advise don't drive it too far.....

Perhaps next year!

Sorry to hear about the car Ron, hope all fixed soon, I also understand from Andy (muddybear)' he hit 'Large' rabbit, and damaged his MGF Trophy, so will not be able to make..however...Weather in Bexhill today wet from 10.30 to 14.00 BUT a wonderful sunny afteroon and calm evening,...look forward to see you all at 'Ockham Bites' 09.00 to 09.30, then there should be approx 1hr 20min drive to Hursley Park..

So it could be another wet one...but then that seems to be par for the course for Hursley ! I bet it can't beat the year when the water was washing the mud off the hillsides on the A272 - made for some spirited driving conditions !

I'll be shaking the Whizz Kidz tin at Ockham so bring your loose change for the 5p challenge !

See you there umbrellas and galoshes at the standby.

(sorry about the burning smell Ron - let's hope that can be sorted without too much pain - unlike Andy's Rabbit

)

Great to meet you guys at The Dolphin.

Thank you John, for your hospitality.
I still think you're mad though, but it won't be forgotten.

One thing's for sure - I ain't EVER going camping if Damien is within 100 miles of the campsite.
No sirree-bob I ain't.

Really great to see everyone despite the terrible weather. I think we had everything today, light rain, torrential rain, partially flooded roads then snow and slush to top it all. We drove to Alton in a blizzard whilst you lot were in the Dolphin keeping warm !

Must have been the worse weather for a Cobweb Spin - although I do remember the sudden downpour a few years back sending everyone rushing to put their hoods up, and the last deluge a couple of years ago....I'm sure I've been to at least one that has been sunny though .
