Hi all sun is out .... are we meeting up at the Great Northern any time soon? How about 21st June?

Chris

Hi guys and gells,

It would appear this one slipped by many of us, but having heard from the op, Chris, earlier today, i have to agree that a meet up at the great northern inn whilst we enjoy such good weather, is certainly overdue and shouldn't be passed by!

Can we summon a hook up for the near future maybe?

Sounds good to me mate, once the Imp is fully functional we're also planning a Burton Waters trip too...

How about Thursday the 19th July?

Chris

Of course,

It suits me!

Be great to see the imp mate,

Burton waters is also a lovely meet in this summer weather (too bloody hot!) I'm sure

Won't be able to make 19th with the Imp, still final fettling to do...

How about Wednesday the 25th?

Im hoping to be taking Ted and the Trofeo to Cadwell Park, and then join him for a drink and catch up to follow,

It could tie in nicely with a GNI e evening meet?

25th is a def possibility.... last day of term! Will check with the boss! Chris

I'd say a better possibility of 25th for us...

Great stuff,

So, 25th July it is,

Now get your names down!

I have a pass out, what time we meeting up?

Chris

Shall we say 8pm?

Looking forward to Wednesday in a big way,

But then I'm not at work, I'm at Cadwell with Ted, Tom, and his Trofeo sud, followed by an evening Alfa meet,

Life is good sometimes!

Sounds great! See you there, I have a tale of equally brilliant day at Millbrook riding WW2 motorcycles around the Top Gear track.... and GETTING PAID FOR IT!!!!

Think I'm bringing kids as well for train spotting as it isn't a school night

It's going to be hot

I am at work
But enjoy Cadwell guys

Hoping the AA man won't be needed mate

Haaah! What a great night that was chaps!

Lovely to see and chat with you all, great spread of generation Alfas too!

Once a fan, always a fan eh!


I think its more than fair to say, that Robs Imp simply stole the show! A long awaited arrival, it did not disappoint,

Magic work Kev and Rob, its great!

Agreed! Best Alfa there was the IMP! Ace car!

Let's do it again soon
Chris

Well said boys.
A great end to a great day, cheers.
Testing journey home. Three times on my route home,my roads were shut and re-routed for night works !!
Didn't get home till gone 11:00 pm.
265 mile round trip.
Oh ! and my dash lights don't work any more.

Dunno about star of the show, Keith's car will take some beating amongst any crowd.

Imp and Sud owners comparing notes

Thanks to all for the kind reception to the Imp, I know Rob appreciated it, makes all the effort worthwhile in the end

Well deserved mate.

Both ‘N’ Reg so born at the same time.

The sud looks big compared to the Imp.

It looks great.

Keith's won a few accolades with his Sud. Rob has hopefully got some to come. Of course he'll mention the small part his Dad had in the resto'. Lol

He's joined the local Boston Classic car club and been entered into the "young members concours event"......wonder if I will indeed get a mention

The Imp did make the Sud look small, not a feat you'd have thought, imagine how tiny it looks against his Suzuki!

Re the number plates I guess Rob's Imp was manufactured pre 1st Jan '73 and Keith's Sud is later? Or am I poking a hornet's nest?

No Hornets coming your way mate
The eligibility of the black number plates is on a rolling 40 year cycle like the tax is...

Thanks for that Kev didn't know plates also rolled over.

Yes mate.
If you have your car registered as a Historic for the free road tax then you are also eligible for the older style plates, so basically anything pre Jan 1st 1978 at the moment.
As it's a rolling deal like the tax is now again then from April 1st next year the 1978 cars will become eligible for it, so getting into many a Sud owners territory now
