I enjoyed the weekend, we just were unlucky in that our usual route on M42 was closed at junction 6 exit for a bridge demolition  so we had to go further down the m6 onto the A46 and there was an accident  with 2 Lorries and a car just before the Stoneleigh turn off causing a 10 mile tailback on the Saturday, just purely bad luck 

I think the complaints were about traffic on Sunday morning. We were heading towards Coventry in the opposite direction to you and saw the queues, I sympathise.

I’ve seen lots of moans and grumbles about this event. Its location means that there will be queues at busy times but we didn’t experience any issues with traffic, parking or the perceived lack of marshals. 
Some people just look for things to complain about.

Anyone spot the deliberate mistake? 
i do of course mean Tuesday November 14th!

Our next social evening will be on Tuesday November 11th at the Ten Tors Inn, Kingsteignton, TQ12 3NP at 7:00pm.

i already have a list of names but if you would like to join us please let me know, either via this forum, the WhatsApp group or call me on 07735 573625.

It’s very sad news, an honour to have known her.

I have just renewed my Green Flag breakdown cover. Just like last year the renewal price had increased and just like last year I checked the website price. Both times about £17 less than the renewal letter. After a telephone call they again matched the website price.
Probably worth checking if you have Green Flag.

I used the company that Hogie suggested. Good quality bulbs.

It’s been a long while since I did mine but I think I used option 1. Which ever one protect the bare metal.

I used “good quality” led bulbs and I’m told that the rear of the car is more visible in mist or after dark.

20 years so far and 77,000 miles, beginner really.

Not very good with the copy and paste thing Pete Arnold, sorry to hear about that. Not sure that it is your stomach in the photograph....

Glad you are both home safely anyway, I will let you and Mary know how the train thing goes.

And those cooling systems had a lot to cope with last weekend, the GT6 much hotter than usual on the M18.

there you go, worked out how to do the copy/paste/quote thing

Thank you to everyone for an excellent weekend. Back home last night after just over 1100 miles in 6 days. The GT6 needs a good clean and I need a good rest!

If the hotel is going to reserve almost all of it’s rooms in August it seems entirely reasonable to ask for a deposit, I await further instructions.

Andrew

I will be there again with the GT6

Why was I expecting blue?.

Back home in Devon now after a fantastic weekend. 977 miles round trip in the GT6 and ready for a sleep.
Thank you to everyone who helped plan and organise the weekend!
And thank you to the people who made the evenings special - you know who you are.

I saw this on another website, it's from a local Exeter newspaper dated 1925.

Andrew

Sorry to hear that Tim.

I have had EBC green stuff pads for many years, on the second set. Never had a problem "coming off of Dartmoor" but I did once experience a severe fade at the bottom of Porlock Hill. Not the Alps but pretty steep.

A provisional yes, need to check with the co-driver, if yes a GT6.

I would have thought that many of the aspects and techniques that will be illustrated in this tread will be relevant to virtually any Triumph build even if not directly Triumph related.
