I hope to maintain my tradition of having turned up in a different car each time I've been to this.

I think that's something a few of us have done, either knowingly or not.
The first 4 Chumleys I went to I took Italian cars: Lancia Thema, Alfa 155, Lancia Beta HPE, Lancia Beta Spyder.
Then I broke with the Italian theme and took the tipp-ex painted Toyota Sera.

That is an impressive tradition Eifion! Will the 2CV be ready in time?

That's looking unlikely, but I hope that my other old Citroen will be. If so I can save the 2CV for next year.

EDIT - what is with the daft line-spacing on this site at the moment?!

It seems that Enter starts an new paragraph with a break.

While Shift and Enter just moves down
on to the next line.

(That works for me, anyway).

As I've mentioned before, modern computer based things tend to give you a double return for anything. If you want a simple one line return, use shift+return.

This hasn't been an issue anywhere other than on here though, and only since the facelift.

Ooh, excellent. I'll try to have the Dyane ready, but the Blingo can be backup!

See you in the Blingo then Dave

Brother just spoke to me and said this:

"£4.50???!?!?!? It will cost £100 in fuel just to get there!"

I'd say that's a perfect reason to go myself.

You can spend £100 on one seat to watch The Spice Girls so I'd say it's a bargain

I was going to ask about camping solutions, but if I'm bringing the Invacar and based on my Goodwood experience, SOD THAT.

I haven't been in the same car twice, although there have been years where I've barely scraped in under the 15 year limit.

From my vague memories, I think they were, Celica Gen 2 Celica Gen 5, Golf Cabrio, Volvo 480, XR2, 306 DTurbo phase 1, Puma, 306 XSi, Celica Gen 6, Leon Cupra, 306 DTurbo phase 3 and Clio 172.

Not sure what it'll be this time...….

Based on my 4 nights in an action man tent at the IOM TT Double SOD THAT

The conversation went

do you want to come to the TT for free

It's camping

It was as bad I as I was expecting , this body isn't cut out for sleeping on the ground

June 15, 2019

Well, after serious discussion with brownnova, we’ve decided that the fastest camper van in north east Wales will have Pringle butties on board. Also, not just sugarless tea, but possibly coffee. Form an orderly queue please!

Note: This depends on the camper passing its MOT... Death burger it is then! I’ve seen those sodding sills!

Put me down for one. There’s a chance I may have to be away for work but otherwise I’m game.

Likely steeds are the E30, XJ-S, Accord or VX2300, none of which have been before. Maybe the Lotus if I feel lucky and can guarantee getting home before dark...or manage to fix the headlight switch.
