Default Hollow tree pics.

Just a couple of pics taken at the hollow tree yesterday.

This was my friend Jimbo trying to convince James that £500 was a fair offer for the car.



The 1.8 engine of James 16000 mile Personal line 75. Is this the lowest mileage in the club???



Some of the cars at the meeting, taken from the adjoining field.




Merl being escorted off the pitch for being late.



More cars...



We had some interesting cars attend. 3 V8's, a 16K miler, An "S" reg, And a two-tone. A total of 10 cars in all I think..

Some nice pictures there..Jim's 1.8T engine bay looks superb,plenty of time and effort involved to get them to that standard and keep them that way..I know.

The Duotone car,that was the one that was re finished by the member?

Don't think that Jimbo should be towing that caravan with his V8.

Default Looks a Good Meet

And when I can come on a Sunday, you can bet it will be raining. Sorry I wasn't there. I'd have kept my bonnet well and truly closed though. I think I feel a steam clean coming on. But that doesn't help if you've got rusty nuts!
