Newark Kit car show

What a bargain as the driver of a classic car I got in for free. How many more shows do you know where that is the case?

I will post some pictures later.

Meet a local chap who does one off alloy fabrication for kit and racing cars. Think I might talk to him about getting a custom petrol tank made up to add into the ongoing PI project. I was quoted £150.00 for a tank having seen used TR5/6 tanks for £75.00 I may be on to something!

Quoting from his compliments slip

TSSC News

I have just come off the phone to Bill Sunderland TSSC President. Thanks Bill for taking the time to reassure me about recent events.

I was glad to talk to such a committed chap. I am sure that things are changing for the better now.

Talking to a real human is much better in many ways than using the message board I suggest contributors to the TSSC message board try it sometime............

I think that the messageboard is a great facilty but rumours can run out of control. Because it is so immediate it is possible to post without thinking. Remember as they used to say many years ago "careless talk costs lives." Is that what anybody wants?

Ashby Folville

Spotted this on the Club Triumph forum.

For those in the Leicester/Nottingham area (or who fancies a drive out from further afield) its the monthly car gathering (Classics, Vintage, Custom, Sports, etc) at Ashby Folville, which is close to Melton Mowbray on the B674 - just off the B6047.
Well worth a visit - should be another bumper turnout tonight.... and by bumper I in excess of 200 cars, supplemented by Bikes. You don't need to know where in Ashby Folville - if you find the village you can't miss it.
