They only ever made 371 mk1 PI estates and the survivors are in single figures so even if it is a replica its still a very welcome sight. Much jealousy here. 

 

[hairnet]

yes it was rustier than eddys hmcs caddy but didnt care

cant afford them now

When should we open the FoD Next?

 

Is there any Appetite for a FoD 14/15 May 2022?

I also have 4/5 June available.

We could do either date or I am very happy to open up both dates if we have takers?

[davidfowler2000]

4/5th June for me please.

13/14/15th May is myself and @Inspector Morose's return to Dufftown, Eurovision and Club GLF at Crail

[Crackers]

May will be the weekend before my exams start, but the June weekend is the 2nd weekend after my last exam for the year. If I don't have anything else booked I'll come up (maybe in the P6/Series)

[wuvvum]

4/5 June would suit me.

[Talbot]

4/5 June is the 2cv racing meet at Silverstone.  Hmmm..

[bobdisk]

May or June will suit me. How about it , @Snake Charmer?

[davidfowler2000]

Ah wait no I have something on the 4th. Sakes.

Leadfoot

[Ghosty]

I'll be at Crail 14/15th and that's also a proposed SF22 date. Early June meet might be alright though.

Mopar Day at Brooklands on the 29th but other weekends should be OK.

[catsinthewelder]

I can do May 14/15th but not June 4th.

[Fumbler]

I can do May and June.

Ami was earning its keep this afternoon!

Edit - Thanks to Quicksilver for spotting me out in it. 

[Longbridge Apologist]

I’m about to have to throw the shite Bavarian Sierra away.

 

Do you have anything that needs moving around for a bit @Six-cylinder? 😆

Today my "Drive It Day" trip was to The Stables, Wavendon to join the  Milton Keynes Classic Car Club. The Venue is a music venue set up by Cleo Laine and the late Johnny  Dankworth, live Jazz music gently played in the back ground. Sunshine and about 50 cars attended.

I decided to risk ordering a coffee in spite of not seeing the price, I choke on £3 coffee! £1.80 not too bad and then the lady said and help yourself to a complementary Danish pastry. I am trying to loose some weight and told the lady my problem and she said they were £37.99 each did I still want one!

The Consul GT I was parked next to was the original filming car used on the Sweeny. It is now restored and like new. 

[Mrs6C]

IIRC that Consul was restored by someone on AS...

You do go to some lovely places with your cars!

I've just realised I never coughed up any cash for the fish and chips at the last FoD do. Who do I owe?

The court case has already been heard and judge has already passed sentence, 10 years hard labour building a railway or two!

Have this one on us for all your hard work.

yes @TripleRich I believe.

And may I say YOUR NICKED!

[High Jetter]

I thought his was the LHD coupe - did he also do the Sweeney one? Certainly the right man for the job.

[Six-cylinder]

I visited the Golf Club tonight, I was told to put my golf cart round the back with the other golf carts and not in the Presidents spot!

[Six-cylinder]

Later I went to the air strip for a top speed run 153.2, not bad.

After 2 years of hibernation, tonight having already been out in the Ami today I wanted to drive again so went for a local tour in the Seicento.

I can’t do May dates - my mum and nieces are preparing a 2cv shaped birthday cake for me with far too many candles for comfort.

Better have them present it to you in a field then to reduce the fire risk!

We’re still working on logistics. Mum is still annoyed I took the mid life crisis merc off to France ten years ago when I last had a birthday ending in 0.
