Tim Hunt Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Remarkably reasonable prices Wendy. I didn't find these on the website when I looked and thought they were being coy because they charged an arm and leg!! Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Hunt Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Wendy, I will have a passenger on the 15th, local member Pierre Miles, so please add one more for lunch. I first met Pierre years ago when he visited our stand at the Knebworth Classic Car Show. I have extolled the virtues of CT ever since and he finally weakened and joined the Club! He is a former Leader of the Lea Valley Group of the TR Register and has a TR6, but this time will have to slum it in a four cylinder car!!

Tim Hunt Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 OK Wendy will do and I'll ask Pierre to do the same. Initially we were told no need to pre-order, I guess this has changed since our party is now bigger than expected! Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Hunt Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 I've phoned through my lunch choice Wendy and, incidentally, the tel no is 317243, as on their website, not 327243. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batch Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Hi Wendy and Darren Sainsburys at Ripley is where we often get petrol, it usually has E5 98RON petrol at a very reasonable price, £1.66/litre on Tuesday. Hope the weather is good for the run. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Good evening all, Just to bring you up to date, I have contacted the GBCJ and informed them of my meal choice. And to finish off - yes, I'll be with Tim and don't consider it to be slumming with 4 cylinders, especially when travelling with someone who knows how to get the best out of them. Having said that, my recent day car was an Alfa Romeo with an incomparable V6 engine. The enthusiasts' website was subtitled 'Fun starts at 3,000 rpm' - which sums it up nicely.

Pierre Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Yep - a well-organised enjoyable day out. Near perfect route instructions that took us through very pleasant typically English rural countryside to a museum that showcased examples of much of the history of the British motoring industry of the second half of the last century. Having said that, the info regarding Baden-Powell from 100 years ago was particularly interesting. Of course, what was a bonus was wandering around the visitor car park looking at a myriad of other cars, including a 1902 Renault, plus several examples each of Ferrari, Rolls Royce and the Ford XR series. Excellent photos by the way. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the one of Keith in front of the three Triumphs would be an excellent candidate for a caption competition in Club Torque!
