Sunday 16th November
Well a quick update on the Sporting Bears Event today at the Classic Motor Show.
My car was one of two Cobras there, the other being a Bright Yellow Rover powered machine. There were a whole host of other exotic, super and classic cars there too.
Rides in Cobie were advertised at £40 each with ALL money going directly to the charity.
During the day I did 12 rides raising just shy of £500 and using a tank or so of fuel in the process!!!
This is a great cause and the look on the passengers faces when they heard the roar of the 6.3 V8 was priceless. A young lad form South Wales summed it up perfectly when he just turned and looked at me with a huge grin and said "Wow!! Thats Proper is that. Proper!!"
NEC Classic Motor Show November 2014
Delighted to be taking Cobie to the Lancaster Insurance Classic Motor Show at the NEC on Sunday 16th November and to be providing Charity Rides with Sporting Bears
About Sporting Bears...
The "Bears", as we are affectionately known, are a dedicated group of classic car and sports car enthusiasts with one primary aim - to raise money for children's charities through our own social and touring events, and to support other charitable events. It is to the club's credit that annual subscriptions support the club overheads thus allowing all monies raised from events to be directed towards the selected charities. Since the Club was formed in 1989 we have been very active and have raised over £1,000,000 for children's charities in the UK.
Hoping that as many as possible will book a ride and raise money for these good causes. Fingers crossed for good weather...

New Project - Peugeot 205 1.9GTi
With the Cobra build complete, my build buddy Ali and I have been working a new project, albeit it on a very low key basis since February 2014 - this time for something entirely different... A Peugeot 205 1.9 GTi Re-Build.
I have a blog running showing progress, if you enjoy reading this blog why not take a look.

Prescott Revival (2)
Meant to upload these photos when I posted the GD ones at Prescott Revival...
Not really a huge fan of the Marcos but these were two really nice examples. One a classic coupe and the other a prototype Marcos Spirit 220 which new Marcos owner Tony Brown was proudly displaying.

Prescott Revival
Sunday 10th August 2014
This weekend is Prescott Revival arranged by the Marcos Owners Club. Had been planning to take the C~obra and had pre-booked 6 runs up the hill.
As seems to new typical of the Britsish weather it was torrential rain all through Saturday evening and Sunday morning. It seemed pointless to take a rear wheel drive, open top high performance car so I took a modern Golf GTi Mk7. This meant I could at least have some fun up the hill.
Was good to see some other GD'ers braving it though, with Andy, Darren and David in their T70's and Charlie with BAM. Managed to get some decent photos of the guys - must figure out how to start posting to Facebook!!)
