Thanks for posting cortinaman . That Magnette is owned by a thoroughly decent fella I know called Chris and he has been known to frequent this establishment phunkiehiboy . He used to be very active on Rods'N'Sods too. I seem to recall that blackpopracing knows him too? Used to own a very cool yet undestated/underrated 32 Roadster then moved it on to be replaced by the Magnette. thanks daver555 the Magnette was a fantastic bit of engineering - doing something I like, upgrading an old engine with modern technology! It also seems to fit the "cafe racer" theme linkHopefully Chris will be along to tell us more about it!

Hi RR collective
I've read the MOT manual and if I'm reading it correctly, damage to a windscreen is only a fail if its within the swept area of the wipers and impedes the drivers view of the road. I've got a crack in my modern's windscreen which is entirely behind the fritting around the rear view mirror mounting and not in the bit of the windscreen you can see through - so I think it ought to pass! The MOT's due this month and I don't particularly want to pay the £95 excess to get the screen changed until I have to!
cheers Cortinaman

thanks for the pics love the variety that mgb in the fiat 500 colour looks better than i would have imagined The sign said it was on the MG stand at the Earls Court motor show, and that was the original colour.

As the weather is rather nice - off to the Marquis of Granby in Esher, Cortina meet this evening - 8pm ish onwards - ought to be some nice cars if you like old Fords.

The Gartrac Escort seems to be popular! I remember back in my youth (long time ago now!) my best mate's brother fitting a Cosworth v6 and auto box into a Gartrac Escort shell for a customer who was disabled and so couldn't drive a manual - strangely his workshop is no more than 1/4 mile from the Polo club! Strange what sticks in your mind!
Cheers Cortinaman

A fantastic day and I enjoyed it after a pretty turbulent few months , chilling out with car mates was very satisfying Car of the day for me?? Well it just had to be a 1600E , I’ve promised myself I’ll have another one by next summer hopefully Looks like a great day! Cortina meet at the Marquis of Granby, Esher tonight (not sure how far away it is from you) - should be plenty of 1600E's there, especially with the weather (might even find one for sale )

akku they would appear to be the work of Albert T McNea but clearly include some of his flights of fancy. I'm a great fan of the old marker and fineliner renders of concept cars - I might have been a car designer in another life! My fave flights of fancy:-

Local to me but cannot find out what car club organised this event / maybe a RR member might have some info so as to look out for next event to be honest it wasn't well publicised, I only found out about it on Farcebook - www.facebook.com/hurtwoodparkpoloclub/ the companies who seem to have put it on don't have a web presence that I can find. There have been a few meets at the Polo club over the last few years but they often attract idiots who can't leave in a vaguely sensible fashion so there tends to be a long gap between the meets.

fantastic work Robert - the orchard will be amazing now it's been opened up!
So will it be cider making in the autumn or apple and blackberry crumbles?
