Hi for the 'Dinner' on Saturday

Maria would like. No starter, Chicken fillet (main), Ice cream, clotted cream, raspberry sorbet (desert).

Andy would like. Pancetta, mozzarella, cress arancini (starter), Pan fried salmon (main), no dessert.

Thank you.

Even living in Kent, I use Northampton Motorsport for my Hill Climb and Sprint (2 Weber DCOE) Elan+2 and Turbo V8 (4 Weber IDF) 'Europa/Esprit', I find them very knowledgeable and helpful. Haven't fiddled myself or let them fiddle with the Elite so no actual experience of them on Dellorto https://on...

I'd vote for the Friday evening at the BBQ.

We will join the Saturday run out

Thanks Andy

Absolutely fine with that, thanks

Andy

That would be great, thank you.

We have now added the Friday night stay at the Manifold

Andy

That makes mine a 20/20....

So being a LITP newbie, do I get from this there will be nothing organized for during the day on Saturday? Maria was hoping to visit something in Matlock at some point on our travels and from this it looks like she could do that on the Saturday? In which case we will do that and plan the few days ei...

I also agree, if fact what attracted me to my Elite was that it had accumulated 150,000 miles over its 43 years when I bought it in 2022. Particularly that although it had got to around 100,000 when it had its ungalvanized chassis changed to a galvanized one and its engine fully rebuilt etc in the v...

The more of them like this I see the more I appreciate mine....and the more I admire those willing to have a go at raising them from the dead.

Yes, very good and correctly challenging of his regard towards driver safety. It brings in reference to road car weights with 'our wedges', where of course 'manufactured cost' was also more of a factor than for race cars and so he had less of an advantage over his competition (decent thickness 'dail...

We have elected a Brooklands set off time of 9-9.30
