cool. I'll probably be going on the sunday. my old man has that great big loud american stationary engine thats been there for the last 2 years. i think i've been to lamport for the last 6 years now. may come in the mini if the weather isn't too bad!

Should be a nice day out (weather permitting) I’ve never been to this one but have been to a few other steam rallies.

Best bit for me though it's costing me absolutely nothing, as the club has been invited to attend on both days and over night camping / disco

Just a shame I have plans for the Monday.

[1984mini25]

Was a really good show considering the heavy rain over the past few days, but it did start to dry up in places.

Found some small parts I can use on my mini in the from one of the junk trade stalls, plus I’m now well stocked on all metric and imperial bolts, nut and washers, but what’s the chances when I need them though they will be no were to be seen.

I was planning on going down for the Monday as well but unfortunately my mini has sprung a huge oil leak, so I’ll be fixing that instead. :'(

Didn’t quite expect it to be that warm either B) even though I spent most of the day in the shade, I’ve still managed to end up looking like a lobster (sunburn).

All in all though a very enjoyable day out.
