Oh, and a couple of pictures especially for Peter - saw these rotary engined bikes at a show in 2014 and helped the owner (Dutch I think?) load them back into his van. They were incredibly heavy!!

We were all winners mate , one of us had a winning smile and got free bourbon chocolate cake

Really enjoyable day too. Didn't get to see everyone as I was preoccupied with going up and down the hill. I want more powers and braaaps for Xmas

HI Guys sorry I had to leave early but I wasn't feeling 100% and the rain was getting to me.
Great turnout and nice to meet some new people, especially Malcolm, hope you all had a safe journey home.
It was also nice to see Andrews 20 B, must say l've always liked those and would even consider replacing my 7 for one.
Once again sorry for leaving early.

no problem Dibs as long as you are ok, we were worried about you.... apart from a quick downpour around lunchtime, the weather was ok really, the track dried out for the afternoon sessions, the sun even came out and melted my picnic

Thanks Ian feeling a lot better today, Pat, my brother in law drove home, it was his first drive of a RX7 he's first comment was is there something wrong with this steering...... and at first we were all over the road, we forget that driving these car does require a certain skill, he loved the gearbox and once he got used to being in the right gear for the right speed he loved it. Once on the motorway and up to speed he was surprised how it keeps up with modern traffic, as last year because of my overheating problem I had to take it easy, it was the first time I'd been in the passenger seat for a long yourney in the 7 .... boring or what, it's definitely a drivers car ......
