Oulton Park - 31st August

I assume 'SecretDriver' has a Maserati. We've already allowed a Fiat to come along and lower the tone!

 

[hodroyd]

SecretDriver is a mate of mine, he might have met the Pope, but never stalked him..!!

 

[BennyD]

Make sure he introduces himself.

 

[hodroyd]

SecretDriver is not a voice, its a being..!! I can't come but SD will come on my behalf..!!

 

[Doohickey]

Make sure he introduces himself.

But not to your bootlid presumably?

 

[hodroyd]

He might have a go at kissing the boomerangs, but I doubt it..!!

 

[safrane]

I heard the Pope was there to make the 3200 work properly...but he retorted it was only Jesus who could make miracles occur.

 

[BennyD]

That's too much even for the talents of the late JC.

 

[highlander]

Expected from Benny but Peter........shame on you.

 

[safrane]

Ho ho...

 

[hodroyd]

When I was in the Vatican chatting with the Pope, I saw an old painting of JC standing in a 3200 with his donkey tied up at the side, it was more than likely a prototype, but you could easily tell what it was..!! I think the Pope has a gold one stashed in the Vatican too, heard a rumour, but he would not confirm, or deny..!! Goes to prove the 3200 is an enduring model for super stars..!!

 

[BennyD]

Or an antique. Perhaps you got the symbolism confused; it seems to me to be saying "Jesus, you need to be a donkey to buy a 3200"!

 

[hodroyd]

Hahahaha, that got me hooting mate..!!

 

[jayblue]

Sorted it out with my friends and they are happy to come so I am definitely in. Any convoy on the way up like last time?

 

[BennyD]

I'm sure something can be arranged. We'll see how much interest there is in a 'Northern' meet on the Sunday.

 

[D Walker]

Just trying to sort out getting over Monday, friendly hint to our guests they are going home early!!

 

[Emtee]

Miles. I've asked the question and David is happy for you to come along. I told him it had a Volumex donk in it and that's what swung it, so I hope that's right!

You're a Gent. Thanks Ben.

I used to have an XI/9 in the 90s but it didn't look anything like that

Top job

No it wouldn't. This car was modified by Terry Pettit in the '80s for rallying. He fitted a 2.0L volumex and went to town on the suspension and braking. I've had the engine and blower rebuilt and tuned by Guy Groft and the installation and full mechanical restoration / tune was carried out by John Bown restoration. Cost me more than my MCV and I'm no where near finished. I'm going to be buried in this stupid little superb car. Next big project is the gearbox, as its cr@p at the moment.

 

[BennyD]

No worries mate, I'm looking forward to seeing the monster in the 'flesh'.
