 Looking good for Nellie (Austin A30 from 1955). JJ  Famous last words. Should have kept my mouth shut. The fuel pump has given up the ghost. Will be travelling up with Rick so perhaps I will find one up there. I need a mechanical fuel pump, as Nellie is an early A30. I think one from quite a few vehicles will fit her. Sorry Andy for the short notice but as Rick said, better to find out now than half way to Basingstoke. Still disappointed though. JJ

Apologies to all for not attending but my back is really bad at the moment, I had a new lift fitted to my left boot last week 14mm this time instead of the usual 6mm and now my back is trying to straighten up, painful but it's got to be done, thank god for Codine!

Just returned (a bit early) from the show..... the first time I'd been there and what a great show covering so many aspects of road vehicles, really enjoyed it. Gotta say thanks to Sir Manky for getting the group of fellow Mankies together, cheers Andy  . Hope you actually got to wander around the place. Shame Taz couldn't make it. Also really good putting faces to names and having chats with other forum members, what a nice bunch of folk!  Somehow all the rain from Saturday night stopped around 7 or 8am (at least in the Guildford direction), the wind gently blew, the roads dried and the sun made itself known, so the journey there was good as well. The show ground grass managed to survive the wetness too, so no muddy areas either. The 'display' was the only one on site that had a) a variety of vehicle types (cars, bikes trikes & rods) and b) vehicles under construction as well as completed vehicles. The masses having a good old nose around. For me, some of the show was a bit like travelling back in time seeing vehicles that were common place when I was a kid/yoof etc. Classic cars can be found at many shows, but its less usual to see historic commercial vehicles at shows (least ways the ones I usually find myself at) and for some reason these had more impact with respect to my 'time travelling', so apologies for some pics of trucks n stuff (expect some other Mankies will cover other vehicles), but those of a certain age will (hopefully) know what I'm on about.
