[Mr. Cricket]

All being well I’m taking my new c5

The links I posted direct you to the same package we're all on except a couple who chose a different hotel and duration Jimmy

Hope the patient is back to cleaning and cooking or is she milking it as long as you'll do it

Only on light duties atm, but making a fair recovery thanks for asking. Problem is I'm getting far too familiar with domestic equipment, which is a worrying development.

Worrying indeed. Probably a good idea to have a few domestic accidents now then which may hasten her full recovery and to assume the pinny once more...

When Dexter was born Bev asked me to change a shitty nappy so I stuck my fingers down my neck and spewed up on him. Ta dah no more nappy changes

When the MIL had her second hip replacement she had her BBF stay with her to nurse (wait) on her it was so funny to hear a 70+ year old tell another 70+ year old 'ring that ******* bell one more ******* time and I'll stick the ******* thing up your ******* ****!'

Will you be joining us for xmas lunch?

Cool, same venue and package most of us are on

What "speed" have people gone for on the runs? Don't want to upset the wife.
We tried to go last year and were the only Corvette on the list. I got Covid so couldn't go but the Wife did in our Mini and had a great time. Didn't do any driving just enjoyed Douglas and socialising, and the hotel pool and some nice restaurants arround about.

 

[Mr. Cricket]

I've sent a reminder to our members in the NW region but there are members outside of the NW on the trip that need to pay their balance payment by tomorrow please.

 

[Mr. Cricket]

A heads up from a NW member about possible delays on the M6 northbound on the route to Heysham Ferry Terminal for those travelling to the Isle of Man this week:


Hi mate.

Just to let you know for travelling to Heysham.

I travelled yesterday to Scotland the M6 jcn 32-33 is down to 2 lanes and it was horrendous and that was at 16:00.

Just back home now and it was the same, it’s only north bound.

It may be ok on Thursday with the time but maybe worth giving people a heads up.

Cheers pal.

[Mr. Cricket]

Phew.

Just got back from one of the best trips ever and I'm bloody knackered. I'll throw some pics up later when I can see and think straight

 

[Mr. Cricket]

Tired teddies

 

[Mr. Cricket]

The bonus is a Corvette is through to the final 5 at the NEC in November having won best of show

 

[Mr. Cricket]

The organisation by Scenic Car Tours was outstanding

Here's quite a few pics from both my wife and I and we can concur, what a brilliant event, superbly organised from start to finish, on a really lovely island, full of really lovely people (except a few of the participating Porsche owners) only let down slightly by some rather damp weather.

 

[Jimbo64]

A few more....

 

[Jimbo64]

And a few more....
