Nope. If not dude, I'll just get someone to bring it up at some point. I'm not in a massive rush right now to get it done. Unless it's in the way?

Managed to get the GL M.O.T. done Friday and today I got the tax for the Gold GLS and got the cambelt changed, along with fan belts and new coolant as the existing was just rusty water.

After a 20 mile test run tonight (it's stood 8 months :oops: ) it's fine so I'll be there in that, might as well bring a different car for a change.

I would have liked to bring the green GLS as it's 30 years old this year. Just didn't get it's M.O.T. done in time, its stuck in the garage behind half dismantled transits and stuff. Also has a leaking water pump to sort out as well as the cambelt maybe, it's 5 years old as far as I can tell since the last change.

Mrs HD has now seen the Gold car this evening, didn't go down too badly, I picked a good time....she'd just had a glass of wine :lol: I don't think she would have noticed till the morning anyway! Also helps that the GL is now off the premises too.

Thought I'd put a few pictures up:
My two 340s:

A very friendly chap called Kenny turned up on Saturday in this lovely '87 360 GLT, and had such a good time booked into a hotel for the night so they could come on Sunday too. They were from Bury near Manchester, I think.
Image
Image

Andy's '84 360 GLS, which I'm pleased he turned up with. I was taken by its honesty:
Image

Steve's class-winning 360 GLT:
Image
Image

Jay's creation:

Matt's 360 GLT (which set off a BMW's alarm in the car park just by growling its exhaust!):
ImageImage

Not sure who's this was:

Lovely 66 in the line-up, again, not sure who owned it I'm afraid:

Hi all.
Great pictures Sion. Looks to have been a great weekend.

Steve, your motor looks great on those wheels.

Jays motor also looks great but what is the story of the rear doors :lol:
Cheers Mark.

You too Robbert Jan.

Speaking of which, any firm plans for the annual 300 meet that can be publicised James? I've heard whispers and rumours from various sources....

Erm...erm...mumble...yes, this needs to be a very high priority for me, very soon.

Key points so far...
Brooklands, and the surrounding area!
Last weekend in August (I think that's right...can't seem to find emails just now?)!
Awesomeness will occur!

cheers
