The following is a short clip from Spring 2007, showing a P3 and Lindsay working on his P4 straight 6 engine rebuild, just in front of my cyclops that was having it's rear springs seen to.

Just a little late,

thanks from the RSR to all who turned up at Stoneleigh this year, those who were helpers and those you stopped by to say hello.

The following is a short clip of Mike reversing the Kitcher into our space and my daughter Alix testing the free play in the steering box.

Apologies about the shaky camera work :oops:

Interesting - how was the show this year in these hard times - we used to regularly attend braving long queues to park in muddy flooded fields (no longer in the hard standing spots actually inside the showgroud) a long walk or wait for the free coach transfer and then disppointing stalls paricularly the open air ones towards the end where real bargains were once had.

We always pre-booked too but in the end decided it was no longer value for money taking entry fee and petrol cost into account. Better choice and P & P on Ebay became better value!

One year we queued so long the P5B we then had suffered vapor lock on the typically cold day but actually not wet for a change (it had never done this for years even in hot summers) we abandoned it by the roadside and walked in, getting in faster than other cars in front that waited. Went back 2 hours later to retrieve it and park up after everyone was in
