A good turnout for a none bongo meet on a cold but unusually​ dry winters day.

lovely couple of hours at Pennington today, even Diamond turned up when all but me and BDC were still there nice to spend a couple of hours with friends

Is that Mexican Muz?
Did he come on the Honda 90?
I was coming in this but the mains lead was too short.

Damn right Paul.
£40 for a new handle, could have bought a complete old style 500 for that years ago.

Good day out, forgot to get a cake, sorry Ste, save me one for next time.

In the 1970s a saddle maker mate had a clockwork mouse (Fiat 500) ..

Phil .. who was around 18 stone .. his school teacher wife not much less .. there 'chunky' daughter .. camping gear / luggage went to Greece in there 500 for a Months holiday ..

Struggled to get there as the engine started to get a bit sluggish and lacked pull ..

On the camp site Phil stripped the engine to find the rings where knackered ..

With there lack of funds and any cheap Fiat spares .. he removed the rings .. wound some four cord (a heavy waxed hand stitching saddle makers thread) around the ring grooves .. replaced the rings .. forced the bore over the piston .. and drove back to England without any problems ..!!

Neil you fibber.....I am sure that I saw you around the toilets waiting for Dabs to leave in case he would mention Rugby.... .....

Joking aside...I am really sorry we missed you my original Day meet Buddy...( Walter on the Wirral ).

We left when we did because the Southern softies with me were feeling the cold and were sat in the car to keep warm..

There goes the next Tough Northerners meet....

It was great to meet up with genuine good old mates....and I hope to meet up with everyone again soon

Many thanks to Ste for sorting this....It was Blobbers fault.. ...Thanks Alan

Glad everytime we get together we do another "Godfather" piccie but I cant help but think as each year goes over we look more like Last of the Summer Wine its just as well Blobber is much older than Us 4.....he keeps us all looking so young!!
Was I dreaming?? (Well it was early!! )....I could swear there was a Mexican roaming round the car park selling Chillies..........Muz they eat lobbies in Leigh not Chili Con Carne

My missus was convinced I was going dogging . Consenting adults meeting up in an urban car park?

Thanks to Ste and all who turned up making the 200 mile round trip worthwhile.
