Thanks to those of you who arranged today's web rally - I had a great time and enjoyed the drive back to Devon. The drive home was uneventful ... after a couple of petrol pump related stops leaving Bletchley!

Great day, was nice to meet everyone and good weather too. Some good photos there Dan. Managed to find my way home somehow, knew I was going the right way when I passed a sign about asparagus!<br>Image<br>

Hi all. Add our thanks to Roger for organising and Lou for the chocolate cake, it was a great first rally with Sky. Alison and Alan really wished they could have got there, having made it to Milton Keynes, but she couldn't face it after her visit to the Hospital.
<br>Image<br>
We even found a steam rally on the Saturday with a few Morris Minors attending.

But on the way home the petrol pump stopped again. Tapping with the hammer got us a few miles but by the time we got to Hinkley it gave up altogether, so Sky enjoyed the rest of the trip on the back of the transporter, care of Footman James. James was most dissapointed as he was trying to drive all the way home - his first long distance drive on his L-plates.

Sorry to hear that Brian, had the same trouble with Vikki. We replaced the pump but still had the same trouble. In the end Jon rewired it from the switch side of the fuse block to the pump. It seems to have done the trick (fingers crossed!) :D

Yes, thanks to Roger for organising something nearer to my home :)

And I was one of the last to arrive at the pre-convoy site!

Good to see 'old' faces and new ones.

As always, an interesting day and plenty of tips on what to do with my mog.

DaleSpecial spring water was superb. Would probably make a tasty real ale :lol:

Till the next rally.......

I'd be in trouble if Luke knew you'd attended - I said I didn't think you would :oops:

Oh I'd really love to spend some time with Luke again. What a shame.

Tell him it was a short notice decision...which was true. I didn't expect to have the energy to go.

Hello Luke. Quack quack. How are you?

Yes I hear you Mike...the Series MM rally is near me too. Finally getting you lot trained :lol:

All I need to do now is to get the National local..........Nearby fields are full of oilseed rape [sneeze] at the moment. YUK!!!

I could talk to the farmer........ :lol:
