ADO 70 is a new one on me. The door looks like the swage line needs continuing, but the proportions look great otherwise. Lots of influences from GM and Lancia too. When was the X19 introduced? 

I wonder if this is the same car?

[Mrs6C]

A big THANK YOU!!! to @mat_the_cat, Colin, @Zelandeth and @Prince_of_darkness91 for rescuing the ZX and BMW yesterday. Respectively, they had experienced unplanned exhaust deconstruction and terminal loss of electrical energy, both out on the main highway.

Not a great start to the day, but it all worked out well in the end.

This place etc. 🙂🙂🙂

And thank you for your hospitality. The boat was most comfortable (and warmer than the back of a BX undoubtedly!)

I took a photo of @Talbot finishing off the roof, aided later by @MrsJuular

Nice to catch up with folk on the Friday night, and meet a few more new faces on the Saturday. 

It was predictably raining again when I got back to Wales, although some sun was visible.

A great weekend.

A few pictures from me for those who missed out.

[High Jetter]

Love the colour of the 75 estate, and the Acclaim is lush too. Wish I were closer.

Yesterday I borrowed my friend's Triumph 2000 Estate fitted with a 2.5Pi engine for a TSSC meeting.

[beko1987]

That middle photo must be the rare time one of those is taken where the new car is smaller looking than the old one 😂

[Six-cylinder]

Somebody left this pressure washer at the FoD a few months ago and we can't remember who or what it was there for?

It is a busy time of year and I have something in my diary every weekend until Bank Holiday weekend 24/25/26 August. That is not a decision as in the past Bank holiday weekends have seen low attendance because of family commitments. I could also do 14/15 September would that be better, question to everybody?

Thursday evening was MK Modern Classic meet and the DS got a run out. Sunshine and BBQ made a lovely change.

Friday afternoon was a storage shift round thanks to  @Slowsilver for all his help connecting and disconnecting batteries, tyre pressures, oil and water levels.

This morning was a meeting favourite place for the Sovereign S1, Tesco!  Then on to Pure Triumph Motorcycles in Woburn for a small get together.

Nothing planned so far,  got to get down there at some point this year!
