This morning me and my brother took the Bond on its first proper journey to the RR FUCEM meet at the Limes Cafe. I'm pleased to say the car ran perfectly - it was a nervous journey but after 40 miles I'm very pleased with it. Thanks to my fellow RR'ers for the round of applause when I walked into the cafe! Bunch of nutters. ;D It was brass monkeys out there but I managed to fire off a few snaps: ^ Made it!!! ^ Some of the attendees ^ Goldenwonder setting the timing - the car sounded fantastic as it came flying by us on the way there! ^ The Akku-mobile complete with re-installed dash. ^ A familiar car with a W126 I'd not seen before (whose is it? I didn't see the driver!) ^ Very tidy 240 ^ Nathan's Capper and Hitch's Golf ^ Nice VR6 Storm ^ Ragtop Bim - not warm enough for top-down motoring yet! ^ Caddy looking cool of Ronal Turbos ^ Loved this Chevette! ^ Golf packing more punch than standard! A thoroughly enjoyable meet! Good to see you all there.

Great time had by all! Was good to see every one and even better to hear the Bond purring away!
The weather was awful but that just means that we get a better turn out! What with Hitch's Golf 2 and the other one, I really fancy a Mk2. What was powering the other one?
The Chevette was simply lovely and would have been my car to drive home in! Drop and rims works every time!
On the way out, Toby got a look at the Capri and thought that it was AMAZING! (His words!)

It's on the A614 near Blidworth, Notts. Good greasy spoon brekkie and a carpark big enough for us and the truckers that frequent it! Usually meet the first Sunday of the month.

Cracking Sunday morning out despite the weather. Thanks to Akku & Dean, for lending me the timing light & for bringing along!
Also seems to have given my brother a mojo boost to get his Mini done & back on the road. Looking forward to the next (& hopefully warmer) meet.
