Now xmas has
passed and the new year is upon us we should all be planning this years events.
With all the bad weather the past couple of weeks have bestowed upon us I was
surprised to hear that Paul Quick did take his newly MOT'd 'T' out over the
seasonal break. With a couple of runs under his belt he's now put it back in
his garage to do a few odd jobs ready for the coming season.
In
December's news we put a picture of a model A being built and asked if anyone
could place the vehicle. The rod in progress belongs to Mel Thomas and has been
in build for approx 28 years? Many of us older locals will remember his
progress with it sharing the same garage as brother Phil's 3-window build. More
pics and info on Mel's build will be added soon.
This years events are
coming in fast, and for anyone who wants to use their car this year here are a
few in progress:
- Classics at the castle, an event held in the
wonderful Sherbourne Castle grounds.
- Our yearly run to Haynes
museum, and also another show - The Extreme Wheels show also being held
down at the Haynes museum.
- For those into soul / Tamala Motown a live
music weekender at Dartmouth, where we have been invited to display some cars.
This I am really looking forward to as this was the music of my youth.
-
Castle Combe motor circuit would also like us to display again at one of
their events, dates still to be arranged.
As we are only a couple of
weeks into the year, this gives us all something to look forward to, and I'm
sure more will follow.
New cars to hit the roads this year... there are
three steel model B's, all packing huge engines, two roadsters, and one five
window. Details will be released when the owners allow. Hopefully the two '36
roadsters will be out, along with Nicks V12 'T', as I said this year should be
special so let's hope the weather will allow us to use our rides.
We've
had an e-mail from an evening Post reporter who was asking if we had any events
January / February for a feature.. this still has to be arranged, as we'll need
good weather.
I hope you all liked the write up in the Gasser about last
years Pegasus Castle Combe event, I think Ian's write up did us proud.

Phil and Rich
enjoyed a visit to 'Classics at the Castle' at Sherborne Castle, in Dorset this
year. For the 2010 event, the organisers say they would welcome the club to
arrange a special feature display of hot rods in a display area near the
Castle. Spaces would be limited though, so please contact Phil if you're
interested.
The 2010 'Classics at the Castle' Show will be held on
Sunday 18th July.
