Last night we were invaded by 4 Germans on their way back from Santa Pod in their Classic Fords. Led by Thorsten in his V6 Taunus Transit bus. Followed by a 3.4l Ford Essex powered 1977 Granada, and last, but the one I wanted, a 1970 Ford 26M with V6 power as well. After a couple of hours chewing the fat, it was time for a drink and some food. Aaahhhh yes, of course, we have a Purpose built BBQ !!The guys were quick to get the German delicacies out, light a fire and start BBQ-ing. Nicola and Daniella stayed indoors and did much for international relations and TV watching. Fire and food progressing nicely. Thorsten, and I think Ralf donated all their quality BBQ coal to my worthy cause, THANK YOU VERY MUCH !! After dinner and a few beverages, we all settled in the lounge to chat and allow the cats to roam all over us. Posting at midnight means it was way past my bed time, as I had a plumber/gas man in at 08.00 am to remove my gas stove oven and extractor (for legal reasons mainly) so that I can start rebuilding part of the kitchen and fitting a 6 burner range cooker and large extractor fan. As always, great to have a bunch of nice cars on the drive..... soon enough I hope to have Thorsten back here to help me get my finger out with Myrtle, who is nicely covered up in the garage.

Looks like some good times. You mustn't have had the rain I did!
That 26M is... beautiful. I think I've just discovered a Ford that I'd own. What's the front like?
