We got here yesterday in the beautiful sunshine, there was a short thunderstorm and rain shower earlier today but still a good day. Nice to catch up with a few great people and met a few new faces.

Great photos Nick, looks like you all had a smashing time. Don't recall seeing PCJ19 before, looks very smart.

The cat was good most of the time, he has since o.deed on the cat nip and the Blue Tits nicked the cream off the milk. The light may have been left on until the wee small hours, a few party animals were still around whilst most of you were away. :lol: :wink:

The SW guys and gals did us proud :clapping: :clapping: :clapping: and the dry sunny weather was the icing on the cake 8) Great to catch up with so many people over the two days that I was there, many smashing vehicles too, the standards are going up! :shock: many new events and the rocker cover racing was the start of something big.....this event will grow and grow.....
Will ensure that I am there for at least four days in Lincs next year.... :cheers:

i hadn't either, met up with the owner, it was found in a barn nr Abergavenny in quite a state, told them i had a 'PCJ' which i got from Hereford & mine was in a normal garage for years, just checked the registered dates.

PCJ 19 (10th Mar 1957)

PCJ 447 (10th May 1957)

Brilliant weekend - congratulations to Steve, Paul and all other organisers... :thumbs:

Gave friendly beep-beep from my red Navara truck and box trailer (with Evo2 inside) to two rally participants on the M4 but don't think they recognised me... :whistle:
