[tommundy]

Hi Bill,

I can't make this one as I'll be in Europe again. :(

I've amended the list for you! :D

Cheers,
Tom

[coverco]

When did it become 'Passion for Power'?

[Master-B]

Steady on Kris you might win another trophy :-)

Haha. Did you sort your silverstone hookup out?

[coverco]

I did indeed mate and I did it from the website. There is a link for extras and camping is classed as an extra. I also ordered a programme and another in ear radio for me as Mike would not let me use his :-)

[bill hulme]

I think you should look at there sight , and why they are calling it( passion for power ) it going to be one hell of a show.
Bill.
Ps. I am bringing a car cover for your car.

[coverco]

I havn't got a car Bill, but I do have a full cover for the motorhome already :-)

I have had a look at the website I can not wait to see the 1000sqm pavilion, sounds impressive.

[HowardB]

We're on holiday this weekend, but the whole family is coming to Silverstone, so see you there!

Thanks
Glad you can make it Julian, its done.
Bill.

[88mister2]

Cheers Bill, already looking forward to Tatton again, it will soon come. I found that the rattling noise in the engine bay was a loose exhaust mounting clip. Looks like the end of a bracket has corroded off and left the clip loose. Just glad it wasn't anything in the engine!!

[bill hulme]

Well done all 15 places now booked for Tatton Park

Denis

[michaeljapp]

Thank you Bill, arrived safe and sound yesterday.

[coverco]

Am I not getting any tickets then Bill :-)

Or are you bringing them to Silverstone ?

[bill hulme]

I have a weekend free pass for Saturday and Sunday going spare for the Tatton park show its a shame for it to go to waste,
First come gets it if you are a member.
Bill.

[Lakelad]

Rather unexpectedly I have just found myself unemployed so job hunting must start in earnest - I really do want to be at Tatton on Sunday so show you all what a fantastic job Gary has done on the car but I have to watch the pennies until I sort myself out with another job and the cost of a tank of fuel for a day at Tatton might not be the best use of my cash at the moment.

Graham

[coverco]

Bloody hell Graham, I am really sorry to hear that!! I hope you find another job soon, it will be a real shame if you don't make your Sunday visit to Tatton :-(

[autobody]

Will be coming to see you guys on Sunday if the weather is good, and will introduce myself. Will bring my son who is 16 months old but he loves cars so should be able to keep him under control :-)

[Lakelad]

Thanks Tommy

[Master-B]

I just saw your status update on facebiff! We both hope you find a new job quickly and easily, hopefully one where you finally get the weekends off :-D

[Master-B]

Oh, and I will throw a tenner into Grahams petrol fund if anyone else is up for a whipround

[bill hulme]

Oh, and I will throw a tenner into Grahams petrol fund if anyone else is up for a whipround

I will put a tenner in as well.
Bill.

[coverco]

A tenner is no problem for me either, go on Graham have a run out :-)

[Lakelad]

Wow - that is all to generous. I am flattered. It is a bit more complicated than that as the insurance runs out tomorrow so that is the other consideration. I am phoning the insurance company today.

[michaeljapp]

Another £10 here, no excuses now.

Sorry to hear about the job loss. What line of work are you in?

[Scott Forster]

Being my frist time to Tatton tomorrow, is there anything I should know when arriving, especially on another persons ticket? where abouts are we setting up?

Ta

[Johnsf]

Another £10 from me, I'll only be there on the Saturday so won't see you but will leave it with Bill. Really enjoyed the North Pennine run and hope to see you on another run so I can see the job Gary did on your car.

[Master-B]

Hi Scott. I will send you a pm now with some details. Cheers

[The Silver Fox]

I'll leave a tenner with Bill as well.

[Lakelad]

OK steady on................... I am out of work not homless and destitute!

I am very grateful for everybodies amazing generosity and kindness - you have really left me with no choice but to attend! It is 100 miles each way so it will hardly break the bank.

Insurance is now sorted thanks to Bill's advice - cheapest insurance I ever ever had I think - £93 for 3,000 miles and agreed value! Breakdown cover swapped from the other car for the day!

The car will have to go SORN at the end of the month so it will not be out then until the spring (all being well) so this will be its last run out of the year.

Many Many Thanks

Graham

[julianw]

While we're on the subject of charitable acts, is Tom doing a big 'feed the five thousand' pot meal thing tonight?
:>

[mk1 dal]

Tom isn't going mate he is in Belgium for the F1 .

[The Silver Fox]

Two of the oldest Mk1s, on the stand at Tatton Park today (Saturday).

1931

Gary's, first registered 1 April 1985

1932

Mine, first registered 15 March 1985 but actually with a later VIN than Gary's.

[coverco]

Thanks for another great weekend everyone, good mates, good food and plenty of alcohol, perfect. I even spent 10 minutes on the club stand on Sunday :-)

[Scott Forster]

Great to meet such a good bunch of guys and gals, shame we couldn't do the full weekend! Unfortunately I seem to have misplaced my camera (small Samsung red camera) so I'm relying on any pics anyone else may have taken.

looking forward to the next club meet, definitely putting our names down for the Silverstone bash next year!

Scott & Bea

[michaeljapp]

Thanks you to everyone for making it such a great weekend.

[julianw]

A big thank you to everyone who made the Pageant of Power another memorable event! Never a dull moment is spent at these events. But remember, there's no pulling the wool over our scrutineer's beady eye!

[mk1 dal]

Well what a hell of a brilliant weekend we had top fun and new to camping at tatton Scott & Bea were welcomed in to the mk1 camp and were a joy to meet and chat to and it was great to have Julian at the show and camping again .Sadly bill had to go early Saturday morning due to an recent operation he had was playing up but hats off to the lad for turning up Friday and setting up camp :clap: ( you made the right decision mate but were missed that's for sure ps i have your seat at my house ) . The cars on the stand were all in fantastic clean condition and i would like to thank all the lads and gals who showed their cars for there effort and hard work for a very well presented stand we had :clap: . I'm very pleased announce that the mk1 club stand had a car on it what won best mr2 in show , now this award is chosen across all the mr2 range models and trust me there were some very nice mr2's on show in different clubs at the show and its very hard to win but john's car did ( his reg is e9elf and is a white sunroof ) very very well done mate all your hard work has paid off :clap: :D.
i will post pics tomorrow .

roll on next years shows and defiantly looking forward to another good SPUD time ;-) :lol:

Gary

[Master-B]

Great to see everyone & without doubt the best camping set up we have had there in the few years I have been going. SPUD!!!!!!!!

I echo Garys comments.. the standard of the cars on our stand improves show by show, it was fantastic to see John get an independent award from the show organisers, he deserves it after all the time & money he has sunk into his car.

It was very difficult to pick the 3 winners for the club stand awards yesterday so I can only imagine how tough it is to make those calls on a show-wide basis!

[Lakelad]

Great see everybody on Saturday and thanks for everybody's kind comments and support. Sorry Bill had retired early - hope you are feeling better.

Graham

[Nattie]

Hi guys

Great day had by me, Ed and Bertha (that's the car) - Bertha is very proud of her award and I didn't feel I could separate the two so they are sat together in the garage :)

John F - where did you get a mini elf mobile from?! - I want one!

Nattie

[Nattie]

So after being inspired by John’s award I went a hunting for the next best thing and found http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fujimi-38957-ID-110-1-24-Scale-Model-Sport-Car-Kit-Toyota-MR2-MK1-AW11-/131175217101.

Maybe I can have a mini bertha (with a Japanese numberplate) after all :p

I've got a micro machines version of both of my mr2's http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_trksid=p2047675.m570.l1313.TR11.TRC1.A0.H0 .Xmicro+machines+mr2&_nkw=micro+machines+mr2&_sacat=0&_from=R40

[Johnsf]

Hi Nattie,

It's a 1/43 die cast model made by EBBRO and it is available in red, search on E-bay. It is actually the MK1a so it has black bumpers, side skirts and rear spoiler so you would have to paint over those in red. The interior is black with red inserts on the seats, I had to paint mine blue. The previous picture of mine shows the stock version next to my converted version. Got the numberplates off E-bay but then had to shrink the back one a bit as the back end of the model isn't quite GB spec and the space between the numberplate lights is too narrow ! I actually bought a cheap Solido Mk3 Mr2 and swapped the wheels off that to match my real Elfmobile. The lights dp pop up but at the moment the front passenger headlight sticks up a bit when it is shut. The other problem I haven't yet sorted is how to make or simulate the sunroof !
Here's a couple more pics of it. John.

[Johnsf]

Thank you Gary and Kris for your kind words. I didn't realise at first that it included all the Mr2's at the show, so now I'm even more pleased to have won!
I have always liked to keep my cars looking good whatever they are but I must admit to being particularly fond of cleaning my Elfmobile. There was after all 27 years accumulation to challenge me !
However I must own up to getting real mechanics to do the technical work for me, so I do feel a little guilty winning when I see and hear what other members of the club actually do for themselves.
I would like to say a big thank you to Gary for the various jobs he has sorted for me, without his help no way would my car have won !
Indeed thank you to Bill, Gary and the "Gang" we meet on the runs and at Tatton for making myself and my brother Martin welcome into the Mk1 fold. Hope to see you all soon, perhaps at one more run before the end of the season ?
John F.
