Awake is being detected at chez Brownnova. Excitement levels already at 8, which should rise with application of tea.

Tea, what a marvellous idea. <wanders downstairs>

I still need to get a ticket off someone if there is one going spare

Would it be possible to meet you before the event and give you the money for it?

I thought you were getting our spare ticket?

Apologies. I’d forgotten. I’ll stick with the original plan and take your ticket ?

[catsinthewelder]

Cool, we should be heading in about 10am in a 405 estate, will drop you a ticket and a passenger.

Going to collect the Renault on the way home as it would be cutting it a bit fine to do it this morning but it is now registered and taxed.

 

Looking forward to seeing everyone.

Let's Eat Cafe, Tarporley Road, A49

If we're not there by 0915, start without us. We can eat fast enough to catch up.

[beko1987]

Tea has been drunk at cats towers. Just waiting for the children to sort themselves out now 

[clayts450]

Oversleeping naturally occurred, so already running late. Should make it by 11am cutoff. I hope.

[brownnova]

Wagons roll!!

That's ten minutes from where we are in Northwich.  Just supping a coffee before we get in the car.  When are people planning to arrive at the gates?

[Floatylight]

Just leaving now! Be about an hour, not stopping for breakfast..

all i can say is if id known what grimace getting up to open the front door woulda have been beforehand 

i wouldnt have visited

apologies

ps dont go tomorrow - rest up and drink tea

It was good to see you, as ever - gutted to be missing everyone today.  Hope the weather holds.

In other news, exceeding (very temporarily) the maximum dose of ibuprofen works a treat.

[NorthernMonkey]

Eye candy to follow into the event this morning...

and just some of the mouth watering line up to behold (as well as an Explorer...)

[Skizzer]

Sorry I’m not there.  

Good that Billy has brought his XJ-S - two would have set entirely the wrong tone for Autoshambles, I think.

Nice buttie at the café, but sadly Inspector Morose wasn't feeling as chipper as he should, get well soon M8.

Brilliant time, cut short a bit by an earlier sign of doom via a nice chem trail in the puddles at the café, leading to someone's car. A black Jaguar.  Got there and it was 'every time you stop, fluid is pissing out of your car' .  Thankfully one of the gang spotted it,a hole in the radiator. It hadn't over heated on the way, so with the aid of some kind shiters it was topped up before I left and got me back without a drama. Not been to Chumley for a couple of years or more, had forgotten what I'd been missing, fantastic bunch of lads and lasses and sadly I only got speak to a few.

Café...

 

 

 

Queue to get in...

 

 

 

also queue to get in, silently praying it wouldn't take much longer...

 

Didn't get that many pictures of the show, but here's what was snapped...

 

 

 

 

 

(Turned out @retrogeezer and I knew the owner of the Montego and the Granada)

Had to head off early but was nice seeing the assortment of cars. Blood bikers on the end disapproved - 'these aren't classics, especially that one (my Micra)'

OMFG, a Renault quinze on steels with hubcaps...

Yes.  Please.  Immediately.

[chaseracer]

And don't let them do ANYTHING to that Escort, especially turning into yet another bloody Mex rep.

Thank you.
