A slightly late request, but does anyone have some pictures of the line up of fancy dress in the marquee?
In particular looking for one of dad taking his lap of honor in the marquee in his "Purple Plain (plane!) mobility chair

I seem to remember someone taking pictures at the time.

Yep, Excellent weekend, campsite was really good - pods are the future - especially with heaters! Baz Loved the pods! Nice and easy to load the car up this morning. A great weekend, thanks and well done to James and Jason. Must have been good for me to want to post on here, I only just remembered m...

It was good to see some old faces at Curborough yesterday. Weather was great, too. Well done to Greame Williamson, who made it into the class winners run off after beating, by a large margin, a 1700 Mk 1 Escort :D http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr166/woodstock_011/fdb01e8a-e4f4-4f71-8131-ba267fe...

Hi Graeme
Glad you're still flying the flag for the Imps. Good to hear Andrew is out again, how is Stuart's recovery?

Just noticed that for 2015, the "modified specialist" class for Imp powered cars up to 1040cc is still live. However, although this includes Imps, Clans & Davrians, if I'm not mistaken, this class is not specifically for road legal cars, so if you were looking to dabble into Sprints/Hillclimbs with ...

Wouldn't like to commit as not too sure.
If we do, more likely only in dad's Husky, or maybe the Marina to give the Wedges and Allegros some company

Hi Colin, He did ask me for an estimate and I said around seven cars. How precise our parking area size will be in comparison to this number I am not sure? Imp028 Imp025 Imp009 I tried that a few years ago, Chris. Estimated like you say, 7-10 cars, and they saved us a space for 4! Hope the guy you ...

I didn't want to post the news before the National, in case there were any more teething problems to stop me turning up in it, but I can at last confirm that LGN 164K is back on the road :D :o :shock: Here's some pics from a trouble free trip to and from Huntingdon: http://i480.photobucket.com/album...

I've camped here a couple of times on route to sprints at MIRA.
Lovely venue, if a bit dear for one nights camping, but excellellent facilities.

The fish are very tame, it was great watching the youngsters catching huge carp off the jetty, with nothing more than a Minnow net!

I was planning on going but have just found a little baby green puddle under the front of the Beast. But I very much doubt that I'll make it on Sunday now. Enjoy the rain, the biting cold - and the superb cars! Was that you I saw coming down the steep hill near to Goodwood, just as I was driving up...

Hoping to be there in the Davrian, for a bit of a Davrian get together. Apparently 3 other Davrians are planning to go.
It's quite a long trip to suffer with a s/c + c/r gearbox, so I might bottle out if I wake up to heavy rain tomorrow morning!
Weather permitting, I will be there.

Have you had time to investigate the engine yet? With the Stileltto dash, it makes one think there might be some lucky mods to the engine too. Nice find, apart from needing some more work, it looks a bit like the one you just sold :wink: Another one saved from the scrapman though, which can only be ...

I'll stop now in case I bore you all silly with sidecars. Ian No chance of that, great to see them out and about. I went to the sidecar festival at Mallory Park a few (or was it 4 or 5?) years ago and despite all classes from classic to modern, I was suprised not to see a single Imp unit in sight. ...

Small? That camera looks massive in the photo? Surely, parked next to your car like that, it must me at least 3 meters high!

I need to do my follow up for Impression soon. Can anyone tell me Mark Paterson's (G15) wifes name? I'm afraid I've forgot and I just need it for the group photo of all of us, which she kindly took with my camera.

Oooo, nice :) What bike are they off? Sorry, not sure. They're not a vacuum type, they work like the AMAL. I've been told possibly an old Kawasaki.

Great weekend, if a little bit wet at times. All the special saloons looked great in paddock and on track, they really were the highlight of the show.

Also a Davrian "get together" on the Monday at this event.
I'll be camping all weekend there, so looking forward to this.
See you there, Colin, hows the arm?

Graham

This stunning example will be out on the 15th of May at Lydden as well as my Stiletto so anyone else looking to fill the grid up. Maguire Mini, Maguire Metro etc http://www.semsec.org.uk Regards Rob. Saw this a Lydden on Sat 9th July - Robbed of a podium in first race after a tap from a Mini :evil:...

John Rawlins has been trying to arrange a Davrian "get-together" at this Mallory Park event. John has just phoned me to try and confirm interested parties. If you are able to bring a Davrian to display at this event, please get in touch with John as soon as possible. Following taken from the New Dav...

Wow. How spooky is that?
I do not normally answer the sales lines at work (Webcon) but I just took a message from someone called Miles Castaldini ordering a Weber lever. I'm guessing it must be the same person.

Great weekend, we were so jammy with the weather for the Sprint. About 5 minutes after completing my last timed run, the rain just fell out of the sky. Remained on and off showers for the rest of Saturday and quite fine on Sunday. Hope this works, please find link to some pictures: http://s480.photo...

Sounds like a challenge.....While you're at it, Graham, can you put £20 on Tim for me too

I'll be there for the Sprint on Saturday, and hopefully stop over to watch on Sunday too.
Without Eric, it will only be my Davrian and Grahames Imp in our class.

I've got a feeling I could be in for some stick here, so this could be the push I need.

Have only just heard the news today at Fawley, Tim.
Just to echo everyones comments.
Wishing you a speedy recovery. Such a shame when the car was only just finished.
Thank goodness none of the family was in the passenger side.
All the best from the Cashmore's

Thanks very much to everyone that came to the show. In the end, we had 6 cars on Sat and Sun. This was the first year that this new Motor Festival was merged with the Leisure Show, and we did the Imp Club proud with a fine display. I thought the show made a very pleasant change to the normal kind of...

Hi James
A good Imp is the very least you deserve, especially considering your mean old dad robbed you of a not only a nice Fraser Imp, but also a perfectly good Davrian

Well done,

Graham

Final numbers now look to be 6 for Sat, and 5 for Sun. For those who perhaps don't have a car ready, but would like to visit the show, the organsers have just sent me a ticket offer: Ticket Offer, save 50%, book in advance quoting "motorfestival2011" - Ticket hotline 01753 743 915 Children go free. ...

A heart felt plea from "Billy-no-Mates" :( So far, we've only got 4 cars for Sat, and 6 cars for Sun. Do I need to beg? I wouldn't normally worry, but this looks like a major national show with lots to see for all the family and I've been "biging us up" to the organisers, so it would be great if we...
