CVF hit this milestone last week

Mine has just topped 61500 but looks like Josh is well in the lead. I think my coupe is only on 50k but I'd have to check.

I'm afraid Paul Utting has beaten me, his daily DL saloon went over the 170k mark whilst on holiday in Durham last week!

If I'd known he was up here he could have called for a cuppa.

I'm waiting for mine to get to 66666.6; just another 150 miles to go..then I think something will go wrong .

done another 75miles in marina today never failures to amaze me how some people are nasty about these cars but finding no trouble what so ever just have to keep on top of it like any other car maintains seen few modern cars broken down on my way and cant help have small grin as go by

We put the petrol pickup to work while we decide whether to sell it or keep it as a working vehicle !

Looks like a nice early pickup.

Today I loaned my Orange Blaze Coupe to Len Goodman to take Dion Dublin on a tour down memory lane for his holiday as a boy. Josh passed my details to a tv company who were filming Holiday of a lifetime 2nd series and today we filmed it, Great day Both Len and Dion were great guys , friendly and both loved the Marina, Heres a few photos,

due to be on the TV Oct/Nov time if the ed of the mag would like a story let me know and i'll write a bit up for it

Yes ,twas a petrol I worked until 1988 when the body dissolved ! Loved the thing as it never gave an ounce of trouble and earned its keep to boot . Who would have thought I would own another twenty seven years later ! Rediscovering my early days :

done tracking on car what a diffrence also wired up my tunes and fitted period speakers still no music on mw or lw lol

mine was at crich tramway pre 74 show today lovely day out

A nice sunny day and we took the Marina to Scawby Gala, a local show to support our local club. The air ambulance landed and was mobbed, and the DC3 Dakota did a fly by. I had a good chat with other members and I'm getting a friends MkII Jaguar to sort it out, but other than that I was bored to death.

Lesley said on the way home 'Now I know why we do rallies'

Nuff said, a rally is booked for next weekend.

PS as usual I was in the only Marina and suffered the usual inanities.

^ That's why I only do steam rallies where there's enough going on elsewhere to keep me amused. Car lineups and nothing doing except sitting in a deckchair complaining about the car three over from yours doesn't do a lot for me.

In other news, the Marina Parts Fairy (Devon Division) visited again today and left a nice set of TC wheels in the boot of Mud- bit more of the TC estate jigsaw
