Thanks Julien

We had a fun day out. All in all, the POL had a great turn out and was a success. We are in the UK Julien mid June for 4 months and will be catching up with Dawn and yourself at some of the meets

This was my first club event and I must say how impressed I was with the friendly atmosphere that I found and the convivial banter that I engaged in with other club members and officials.

I am going to try to get time off work to attend the national at Haynes museum( It's my Sunday to work! ) as I have got bitten by the infectious club bug !

It was nice to meet and chat with you too Keith, getting to meet other members in the flesh does make quite a difference to simply typing on a keyboard. Hopefully see at Haynes then next month

Well this was our 3rd POL and I have to say, that it was the most enjoyable so far!

Whether it was the change of organisation, or the better weather, I can't say, but it just felt more friendly and welcoming than previous years!

As for the turn-out, what can I say?

4,200 cars!

One thing that I did notice that was different from previous years, that there were less cars for sale and the general standard of the cars, seemed higher than previous years!

Maybe the surviving cars have now changed hands to owners that actually want to keep and cherish them, which for me, has to be great news!

Did anyone do a mileage check to and from the POL? My total mileage was 620 (from Edinburgh), average fuel consumption was 35mpg. On the journey down the car clocked 50000 just as I joined the M5.

FrazzleTC · 21st April 2015, 10:43

I did 672 miles over the course of the weekend, because of my convoluted route.

klarzy · 21st April 2015, 11:52

228 mile round trip, 40.5 MPG, was 43 when i hit the end of the queue to get in...
