For anybody who hasnt been Marco's place really is a cool hang out on a Saturday morning, plenty of early iron to look at, and some superb rounds surround the place, we'd recommend it to be a place to visit in the future, thanks to everybody who organised it!! Hope it happens again!

Well it was a mixed weekend for the blokes this past one............Cal shot up north to Billing suffering some brake problems on the way? Probably knowing him around Jn 9 of the M1...............and it wouldnt suprise the rest of us if Mark turned up there to help him also!
 
Brian grumpy bloke was beavering away on his '36, Fairlane and a couple of Bikes for the weekend, Tom started paitning his truck so that left Simon and Me (Dan) - MArtin since selling his car as been collecting yet more bits for his stateside built A sedan...........keep at it mate!
 
So Simon and I heard a rumour about an "anti-Billing" Keith Harmans words I think?? being held by the ACME crew in conjuction Marco, as the weather looked like it might actually stay sunny for a full day, Simon took the plunge and offered very kindly to pick me up (as I am still carless fandango!!!)
 
Here is a few snaps of our dayout!!

Breakfast run / Hayling

A few of us blokes decided it would be a good idea (!) to go to the Wheelers Hayling re-union via the Lord Purple Breakfast run in Bracknell. Please bear in mind that most of us live only about 30 minutes from Hayling!
 
The sky's where clear when we left, the merry band where Cal, Simon & Zoe, Mark, Brian and Me (Dan)
 
Here are some pics, themost fun was geting a wee bit lost, due to sat nave/ navigator error (Brians Blames me!!)
 
We had a fantastic day, lots of rooster tails in the rain for the fenderless cars, and a good end up at the Wheelers do via Pete Farmers place to check out his '32 project and pick him up!!
 
Thanks for looking
