Fast Marina Magazine

Thanks for the plug David,

Did you have to tow Kevin's car back to Cornwall as well?

Also let's work on Philip and get him into a car asap, before reality sets in.

It was nice to meet Philip, I had no idea he was your brother David! I am a bit slow to make those sort of connections but I get there in the end
Sounds like you had an adventure on the way home as well so I will wait for the full story
Saw both of your cars in Pickering before the end of Sunday, the Rapier near the BP garage as I zipped in to a pub car park for dinner and your TC on the round-a-bout near there as well!
Then the rain came! but it did wash off all the dust

I had a cracking time at the nationals at the weekend thanks to Balmy & Fruity for letting me tag along i met some great people along the way, Chris(MARINA COUPE) great to sit along side you on the road run, Paul(JUBILEE NUT) awesome car it was great to see it in the flesh & on the road,the engine bay was stunning!, Brian(MARTEC) beautifull garden & some great cars,thanks for the lovely lunch. Nice to meet everybody i had a good day on sunday looking at everyones cars it was a good turn out hope to see you all next year cheers for now.....

Phil.

Was nice to see the Marinas at the MMOC, enjoyed looking around the cars on display and talking to those of you i met.

Any meets coming up in the Leicester area this summer?

Just been catching up with some of my local members, some of you will know Darren & Babs and their spaniel Jake (Teal Blue Mk1 auto saloon), they drove up to Yorkshire from Cambridgeshire and towed a caravan with their Volvo 360. They opted to drive home on Monday. Darren drove the Marina and Babs drove the Volvo towing their caravan. It seems that once on the A1 the caravan started steering the Volvo, resulting in it rolling over and inverting the Volvo as well. As Babs put it, "I found myself going along the A1 upside down, being chased by the caravan.

It seems like the car and van may be a write of, but thankfully Babs just has cuts and bruses. Jake is reportedly walking with a limp, but it maybe a plea for sympathy.

Well that's what happens when you drive a Volvo 360 :shock: Yeah! Sorry had to write that.
Glad all are OK which is the main thing, oh and the Marina was not damaged

Please give our best wishes to Darren and Babs, must have been a frightening experience but at least they are both OK.

Lesley and Brian

MMOC National show winners now on club website.

First person to spot the deliberate error wins a thick ear. It wasn't like that when I uploaded it, I'll fix it tonight.

If any of the winners want a hi-res copy of their picture, PM me with your email address.

Where?
Or have I got a thick ear now :P

Well on my screen the Station Master was laying on his side.

Great first picture Chris Kev is grinning from ear to ear

No really where are the pictures?? :?
I have looked twice now and I must be looking in the wrong place!
Although I have searched it and the members area and no pictures?
Help please

Paul,

Go to the front page of the website and scroll down to "National 2010 Show Report", click on it and you'll come to another intro page with fruity and balmy's happy faces grinning at you. Click on either of the links here and it will take you to a mainly picture report page, including you standing by your Jubilee.

I am in the throws of doing something similar based on the Road Run and this will also be accessed from the fruity and balmy page.

If you can't find any of this then you need to retype the club web address and refresh your cache.

I looked everywhere and couldn't find them yesterday I am currently using google chrome as a browser and have this forum on a bookmark-seems it isnt updated with new titles.

Found it by using interent explorer-bookmarked on this too but obviously updated as it appeared on here-weird.
