** THE NW CAR TREASURE HUNT 2009**

lennyhope said

Failed MoT.  

Rear brake stuck, washers decided not to work and emissions high, (new Weber not set up properly!)…

Not done anything to car since bought, so I guess I have a growing list…..nothing at all serious though…..Won't take long but too late for tomorrow…..   

Would rather be in the Cabby rather than the 'daily d'.

Another one in the Spring maybe??  :dontknow:

Get down in the Passatt - you'll still get some points!!!!  

COME IN WHAT EVER CAR YOU HAVE IF YOU MAKE THE EFFORT WE WILL NOT DEDUCT THE POINTS, UNLESS THE CAR IS "CHAVISH"

can i come on a bike?

There could be alot of pedalling

lets keep Drugs out of this its a family show

B*gger - Sorry Andy, I'm a no show… fixing leak in A4's heater inlet water hose has turned into a saga - found my crankcase breather pipe was busted and have taken the whole front end off the car to get at it (under the inlet manifold plenum).  Need to replace the rest of the hoses and refurbish the alternator while I can get at them so still awaiting the parts….should have spent today getting Elfie out of hibernation instead of more stripping down the A4!!!!!!!!
I'll have to quit procrastinating and get my GTI sorted since wifey needs her Mk2 and won't lend it to me.

Hope you have a good turnout and loadsa fun

Cheers

Think I might have had a hand in that  ops: Sorry  :wink:
So much for local knowledge  8O   
Was going ok up to that point, really good route to drive n all  :y:
Just two questions :
Was the Cutting Corner hairdressers an answer?
How did we manage to let somone from 'over the border' win???  8O
Congrats Sean  :y:

Thanks for the kind comments re the busted Audi - I can now see daylight at th'end o' the tunnel - I guess I missed a good do…Sorry the Tykes won it but at least they can be assured that white roses don't grow in our hallowed landscape!!!

wrt to further events: Mark Woodward organises a few classic car shows which we could perhaps fly the flag (or banner even):

http://www.markwoodwardclassicevents.com/events.asp?id=1

Last year I took Elfie  to a couple or three including the Leighton Hall show (12 July 2009) and the Lytham Hall show (at back of our house so dead local for me) on 9 August 2009….and also one at Fairhaven Lake at Ansdell (Lytham-St.Annes)

The cost for entries is ?2.50 for up to 2 adults/2 chicos per car in lieu of the normal ?6.00 admission for the punters and this includes a plaque as a memento of the occassion.

I have no prob in organising a club entry (collecting names , fees, etc) if some kind soul brings the banner

Cheers

Could be a couple or 3 to think about. Branching out from the 'normal' VW shows is what we're about this year. Woodvale is another that springs to mind.

Nice and local(ish) for me  
And a nice A road run to boot, no M55 chaos. I'll make at least 1, probably Aug and hopefully it'll have had a paint by then  :pray:

A few more piccies from today :

Ready for the off  



Nice car John  



Thirsty work!



And finally……

Me and Chris had a great time. see you all at the Yorkshire meet in a couple of weeks
