Hi All,

Due to old age and stupidity left my chairs. (Numpty) Jumped in the Tourer, drove off did not see them in the mirror behind. I have form for this and it is the second time I have done it.
Has some kind person secured them for me or handed them in to the venue.
One is a Directors chair, very solid to support my weight, no canvas seat just a plank of MDF and a couple of swimming floats for comfort. The other is a blue fold up to a cylinder type. Would appreciate any information on their whereabouts.

Thanks,

Peter.

PM Pete, club director, or Peter Baker, new shape MG ZS. One of them has your chairs.

Hi Peter,

I have your two chairs safely stored in my garage. I will see about bringing them with me to the next regional meet for you.

Kind regards,

Pete

Hi Pete,

Thanks for rescuing the chairs. Next meet is The Ugly Duckling 20th May. Happy to come and collect them from you before or exchange them for a pint at the New Inn. Your call. John Howard I suspect will be organising a meet at The Ely, Mid June. I am happy to wait until then if that suits you better..

Thanks again, Peter.

Fantastic Cliff

some extremely fine examples there, time to up the game

The white dash etc, whose car is that please

Stunning

Wish I could've been there, especially to see Lillian's face when Derek's car won the inaugural Windrush award

Truly deserved & a fitting memorial to our friend

Thanks Ronnie.

The car with the white dash belongs to a young (by my standards anyway

) member by the name of Alex. Can't remember his full username though, but he's been around the forums for a good many years - doesn't post quite so much these days though. The car was originally British racing green, but he re-sprayed it himself some 5 or 6 years ago.

I have to confess, the dash photo is my biggest disappointment of the day. I rushed the shot as I didn't want to get in his way too much, and got the angle all wrong. It really doesn't do the car justice. The fitting of the 9 inch head unit is pretty much flawless and with the colour coding, it looks amazing. If Apple made a Rover 75, this is how the dash would look. He also has a set of custom dials which finish it all off perfectly. Wouldn't suit the "pipe & slippers" style of my '75, but I have to admit I was envious nonetheless. A very different take on the '75 which works perfectly.

Now that I've had time to sort through the rest of them, here are a few more of my pictures from the 25th National.
