Enfield Pageant - Live FTP

[wesacosa]

Given the ULEZ has done for the Bromley Pageant this year I'm tempted to go to on the Enfield Pageant instead , either as a visitor or maybe enter one of the cars (Just need to clear up with them if you can enter for just one of the days which isn't clear on the website)

Anyone been before? Is it worth a look?

Usually very good but not gone for about 4 years though, khan tax may apply, be careful.

It does apply but I live in the zone anyway so I have to pay to move off my street regardless

well my visit went well

road name trying to tell me something about my mechanical skills 

 

[grogee]

Ah BAWS. I hope it's something simple and you get to your destination. Good luck and ignore the road name, you're a legend mate

ta mate

it started to get a bit warm then deposited its coolant all over Donkey lane.  couldn't see where it was coming from didn't look like too much steam just coolant liquid and gauge didn't go into the red (assuming it's accurate). Suspect maybe a  core plug heater hose HG at worst case

There's a spare seat over here at my table in the Basket Weaving Club - come on over, preferably before Michael Gove can get here.
At least it's not raining.

and home.  recovery man turned up in about half hour but it was a Transit with a dolly so took a fair while to get it rigged up and on. 

seems to be pissing out the water pump area which is surprising/annoying as itd only on about 18 months.  I don't think we overheated though so hopefully there is no head or gasket damage 

some interesting stuff going into the show so anyone in the area I'd recommend popping in (its today and tomorrow)

You didn’t miss much. I got there at 9:15am and left by 11am, I was home for lunch.

The autojumble gets smaller every year and the quality of the stock is poor. None of the usual sellers that I got to know over the years were there today and I bought bugger all.

I’ll still go next year, mind you.

You didn’t miss anything x2. To avoid ULEZ costs and for convenience, I went there in the Quashqai.
