the one oversteering, twisting, understeering and generally in bad shape is a Capri
Al looks like he's auditioning for the Sweeney |

That's not a 124S which was a lot smaller. Fiat 130 Coupe?

Gawd yes look at that wheel geometry on the Capri. Also looks like the shell is twisting.

What ever it was and I recon it was a 124 2 door http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...Front-view.JPG we kicked its ass that day! hey note the CB aerial on the top of my car, the forerunner to pit to car communications I always loved a bit of technology and had a button on the gear knob to talk, only trouble I kept hearing the truckers on the bloody thing!
Ace is OK as long as you are not expecting too much, its all what we make it at the end of the day. |

So...for those of us looking out for other 10/10thers, how will we know who everyone is?
Name badge? Nah, probably a bit naff. How about a John le Carré novel type code phrase? E.g: 'The geese are flying East over St. Petersburg' No, probably not. And how will we 'save' our parking area? J |

The place is not that big, I think it will be reasonably obvious when you spot a bunch of old retrobates. I should say you should all be wearing one of my 10/10ths embroidered badges!

Sadly, owing to pressure at work (trying to finish a car for the Autosport show) it looks like I will have to miss this one, maybe next year? Seasons greetings to all, dont drink too much, Cheers!

Missing our No 1 Race Driver (and her Husband)
Look forward to seeing you all from 11.30 am ish on 30/12. Anything over 20 people will be a good result. Bacon sandwiches!Proper food at last rather than that American stuff. |

Will definitely be there...
But, just looked at the weather forecast, and thinking of chickening out and bring the 'modern' instead of the Alfa. Or am I being a woose too? J |

If my last Christmas period excursion involving the M25 was anything to go by, I'll be leaving early in the most comfortable vehicle available whatever the weather!
