What a wonderful event it was with the picturesque setting, the beautiful house and the excellent array of stalls plus of course the fine selection of vintage and classic cars. We camped out there with our campervan and for the first time towed the A40 Sports on the trailer behind the camper which all went very well. A few lessons learnt about how to strap the car on the trailer were learnt and we must have done it well enough because we didn’t loose the car! You will see on our forthcoming events list we now have a date and venue for our Christmas dinner event which this year for the second time will be held at Trethorne Liesure Park. Many of us will meet again at Morwellham Quay on the 16th June where we will have a THTC stand and will be collecting subs for next year, those who have joined in the last few months will be covered until this time next year. Please let me know if you would like to attend Morwellham as I initially booked for 35 cars and we are nearing this number although we can increase this number if I let them know. I have renewed the sump and side gaskets on the Austin only to now find a serious oil leak on the front end of the engine , so it is out with the radiator and off with the timing chain cover to try and cure it. I also renewed the brake cylinder rubbers on the front axle of the Austin and am now having trouble getting the brakes bled prop- erly so more bleeding required. The radiator on the Triumph 2000 decided to leak, so another radiator to remove and take up to Plymouth radiators to check out. It sometimes seems never ending! But we have to expect the odd problem driving these old cars, so self inflicted I guess. We have signed on quite a few new mem- bers this month so the winter runs will be interesting trying to fine venues big enough to feed us all and enough space for all the car parking. Please let me know if you wish to attend the carnival processions at Callington or Tavistock and the static display display at Pensilva. Cheers for now Dave Fry.
