I guess it depends on what you perceive the value to be.

I'm not particularly bothered about the movement as long as it keeps time and works as expected. I get that on a skeleton style watch the movement is part of the artwork, but for this one other factors drive the cost. Perhaps it can ...

Correct.

Looks a lovely place @GG..

Yeah, come on Dinny.

We should probably also think about lunch. Elton used to have a nice pub (edit The Crown).

Would a potential route be something like:

North from C&M -> A421 to Renhold -> Northwest to B660 -> B660 all the way to crossroads by Branson's Farm Shop and turn left up to Elton (or ...

I thought you were coming @dinny_g?

You're not going to have a problem turning up before 10 and getting turned away if you don't have a ticket. I've turned up on lots of sunny weekend days even at peak times and never once been turned away. I'd say it doesn't really get even remotely busy before 11 unless there's a specific event ...

5 points to anyone who noticed that Option2 was my (sketchy memory) attempt to recreate JL’s withering guidance to RogerTVR in relation to his fashion choices. That’s a few years ago now….


Wasn't it Cerbyman? Had a 300C with Bentley style grill IIRC. Unless RogerTVR = Cerbyman... I can't keep ...

I believe in the day, Duncs will be arriving early to dress head to toe in high vis, and will be providing on site marshalling services

That's just my style.

Do C&M in Ampthill have people marshalling where you park? Might need to arrive together Marv 🧑‍🤝‍🧑


They usually just say hello and then tell you to follow the one way system and park where you like. If you have something they like the look of and/or fits well next to a car parked near the ...

Are you bringing the 5er? 🙏

What, wouldn't you rather see the MX5 which has only ever been on an OV9 curry meet? :lol: Yes, I'm bringing the big purple one.


I do like the MX and I could see that it would be a valid vehicle selection for such an outing, but yeah, I need to see big purple in ...

I thought it was "You do know you look ridiculous?".

Ooh - I think you may be right. I’d ask JL himself, but I am sure he won’t remember either

The second bit rings true though.

I am the 8%. Although im sure ive told you that you are a silly looking cunt many times.


I thought it ...

Ugh, yeah, moving in the worst. I swore we'd get some kind of all in service and go on holiday for a few days or something if we ever did it again. No doubt we'd be too tight in the end and do more ourselves.

I said we wouldn't move for at least 10 years when we moved here, I can't believe it'll be ...

I'm still a sucker for a Seiko and always liked the 62MAS recreations. They're over £1000 now so not really a whim purchase. However, when I spotted the teal dial special edition (a Save The Ocean one though quite a different colour to the blues they've done of other models) at a serious discount ...

Should be ok for me.

Someone apparently discovered this on an unpublished website page - no idea if accurate or not.

Would appear to be a slightly upgrade 4-pot (420 rather than 400bhp), removable roof section, louvered rear panel in place of glass, less weight.

Nice job, works well!

Can't do 25/26th April, 23/24th May is ok for me.
