explosive-cabbage Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Hi again all!Just about recovered from the weekend - Massive thanks to Ian for organising the weekend, and special thanks to everyone who lent me tools/brake fluid to fix the Samara - I didnt want you crazy lot hooning it about without any brakes! I am really glad I brought the Samara rather than the 205, the best part of the weekend for me was to see you lot getting so much pleasure from it! It is deifinaltely worth all the work needed to get it through another MOT. Thanks guys. I don't care that you made the exhaust leak worse and used £40 worth of fuel and made the electrics all weird - it was worth it to see it giving so many grins! And thanks to anyone who gave me lifts and put up with my smelly feet and Yorkshireisms, I'm honestly as bad as that in real life too. Dollywobbler wrote a brilliant article about the Speedwagon, it propper made me laugh, good work. Fair but true. I think the main attraction of the show was definatly the beautiful Welsh countryside. WOW. I hope a few of you turned right and went over the mountain pass to Rhyader - it was a road I shall never forget and I shall be back at some point in a 205 to scare some more sheep and attempt to kill myself. The roads were sublime, the weather was beautiful. Better than Yorkshire or the Lake District.I shall defiantely be back. cms206, BlankFrank, Skizzer and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_lihp Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Yes I did and it was stunning. Also great fun, got the 220's tyres singing a fair bit which is not my normal style but a combination of brilliant roads and Lada-inspired enthusiasm went to my head a bit. cms206 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobT Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 On my caffeine-fuelled trip home I stopped at Chieveley services and parked near a thoroughly battered Montego Countryman. Went in for a piss and coffee and came back to see a bloke in a modern Kia loading loads of veg oil into the back of the Monty. The owner looked a proper feral old boy so didn't fancy approaching him for a chat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barefoot Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Just realised that I've not said thank you.Dolly, this was a spectacular weekend, a big well done for making it happen.Although I only pissed twice and somehow forgot that it was 07:35.The dearest bog I've been in for a long time.Thanks. cms206, davidfowler2000, dollywobbler and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M'coli Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 I saw you on your way home as I was on my way there, Barefoot - somewhere around the Welsh borders! Nice Scirocket, I have fond memories of my dad's one. davidfowler2000 and barefoot 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twosmoke300 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Well I had 2 morning poo's and a wee and consider it damn good value. Definitely better than going all Ray mears in the corner of the field. willswitchengage 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HMC Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 I remember chugging on the M5 back to Devon in the 504 when phil_lhp overtook after setting off hours after me it was like I was standing still, him in the AS rover 220.

chaseracer Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Yes, we managed to get it running* for the shindig at the Bubble Car Museum but unfortunately that didn't last long. It struggled back into the garage as a "winter project" - and we all know what that often means; LIFE got in the way and it has remained there. However, resurrecting the 2CV racer I helped build and run in the early 90s has reignited the mojo, so I'm talking to the specialists to get it sorted properly.

willswitchengage Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Went back to the Internal Fire Museum yesterday for the first time since #SF2014 for their end of season crankup event... the gas turbine has gone but they do now have a retro radios communications telephone exchange hall! (the electromechanical exchanges actually all worked and were great fun to play with) HillmanImp, wuvvum, HMC and 6 others 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollywobbler Posted October 11, 2022 Author Share Posted October 11, 2022 Proteus is still there I think, but the building has subsided... Still open weekends until 30th October. I was there the day before! Two stroke Fiesta still survived and is under a car cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catsinthewelder Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 I had a removal to Aberystwyth on Friday and Google suggested the mountain road would only take a minute longer and use less fuel so I drove through Devils Bridge in both directions. Happy memories of all the chod I've driven up the hill climb course. Road was fantastic as ever despite having over a ton in the boot. chaseracer, dollywobbler and trigger 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
