    1970's weekend - Cars and trains of the '70's

    Sorry Jay, forgot to say how it went. Basically the 1970's event was, to say the least, crap! we were all shoved out in the car park (about thirty cars) with modern euro-boxes surrounding us, blazing hot sun beating down on tarmac. Some geezer who looked like buster blood vessel doing a 70's...

    1970's weekend - Cars and trains of the '70's

    fear not, you should still be able to get in without an entry form, just turn up on the day. I think they only wanted forms so that they knew roughly how many would be going. Paul.S

    Out and about in Derbyshire

    Similar tale here. coming round the Norwich Ring-road in my S2 3500. some baseball capped "yoof" in a Vauxhall vectra pulled up next to me at the lights, stereo blasting out some "kickin' beat" (I know why they call it that too, when you hear the racket you want to give the pimply pillock a good...
