That was a great day out. Cheers Gary. Hope the meal made up for your disappointment Kris. Glad to hear you're sorted again, Nick. Now, I know that statistics can be made to show anything, but I'm interested to know what the combined age of the cars was and the combined mileage before we asked them to all endure a mammoth up-hill and down-dale thrash on the same day. I get the feeling that the results would be something that current car manufacturers can only dream of.
And I think Kris and I will agree, Graham's last photo above amounts to nothing less than automotive porn!
Really.............. I never thought of it quite like that. Whatever rocks your boat!
Ha ha! a BIT extreme, that. I am a bit concerned we are on a slippery slope of upgrading... from this:Originally Posted by julianw

Simply Thai was spot on as usual. Well worth a visit if you have never been. I'll be going again after the september run if you want to try it out
I will be up for the post run meal next time. I think it's an institution that needs to be er, instituted! As for the telescopic lounge on wheels, yes, they're all well and good till you want to go into town and park to do some shopping. I've been told to buy TWO pay and display tickets before now when my rig overhung onto another bay. Parking the above could get very expensive. Now, I thought you hadn't been out and about in your new van yet? You could pass that photo off as '... and this was taken when we were crossing the Pyranees back into France...'
I'll take this over the wingback camper by Parker Knoll, thank you very much:

Its true, the pic of the van has been shamelessly stolen from the last owner's photostream, the furthest it has been so far with us is the Wirral!
Yeah, its exactly why I didnt go for a coachbuilt van, we have limited space on the drive, limited space on UK roads & not enough cash to sustain sub-20 mpg. The van is actually shorter than our C4 Picasso thanks to its mid engined layout

oof!
Weirdly I meant to type left hand side but at my age my fingers do different things to my brain. I don't know anyone in the picture but I have seen it before when you posted it just after your wife passed away last year so I guess I do know that the Barbara is the lady in the background waving to the camera and I think you are in front of her talking to the chap in the baseball cap. I did not realise where the picture was taken at the time.
The only person who had a chair in the car on Sunday was Mr. Hulme but he did not get a chance to get it out as we spent most of the time driving
basically Tommy the pic is how the Club used to be so eveyone but me & Barb. are the Loughborough "Mafia" so its Fred & Doris Sanderson, Stuart & Chris Kynoch, Richard & Rachel Morgan & Issabel (can't ever remember her surname) pic taken by Thomas Morgan
i kind of took over the peak district run that day for a few years
