Mid month meeting 13 July 11
Just a reminder about the mid month meeting on Thursday night.
June meet/Midland Hotel 27 June 11
The June Sunday meeting saw a large turnout of members and it was nice to see Stuart in his red 450 wedge. Stuart is one of the clubs longest serving members and joined in the 1970’s. Following the meeting we went to visit the Midland Hotel in Morecambe for afternoon tea. For those who don’t know the hotel, it is a listed building and in the art deco style, that had become derilect. It has recently been restored and reopened to the public and is well worth a visit if you are ever in the area.
Twenty eight members in 15 cars made the trip and the afternoon tea was excellent and good value for money.

Tour of Scotland June 11
Day 1 Tuesday 31st May (Preston to Fort William)
Five cars met up at the Forton Services for the start of our Tour of Scotland, Bob and Vicky in the Tuscan, Rob and Penny in the Chimeara, Jim and Carol in the Cerbera , Ian and Lorraine in the T350 AND Ann and I in the Wedge. Russ and Rob had arranged to travel up the following day and meet us in Fort William. The route took us round Glasgow and along the shores of Loch Lomond. There was a sea plane just taking off from the Loch for a scenic pleasure flight at Inverdeg where we stopped for lunch, I would have loved a flight in that. The sun was shining on the Loch and the scenery was beautiful.
The run through Glencoe was special and it’s easy to imagine what went on in that valley with its shear sides of granite and cascades of water. Definitely Braveheart country!. We arrived at Fort William early evening and stayed at the Clan Mc Duff Hotel on the shores of the Loch. We had booked dinner in the hotel in advance as we thought the 300 mile drive would be enough for one day. Excellent dinner good food, wine and company.

Longton and District Sprint Series 18 April 11 by Dave Welton
Well I am still wearing my “Captain Slow” T shirt, but only just! Jim Walsh and I completed our first sprint in the Longton Motor Club sprint series at the 3 Sisters track in Wigan on Sunday 17th April. We had some initial problems with the car starting and running which turned out to be two crossed plug leads. Being our first event we were concerned when the scruitineer dived into the foot well of the car and starts discussing the mounting of the roll cage. After consulting with his mates he decided it was fine which was a relief. read more

Saturday starts with the people arriving at the site and covers the concours prize giving, factory visits and includes the evening ball. Sunday is all about the sprint. Bearing in mind I may be a tad biased but I think it is one of the best TVR videos I have ever seen and brings all the happy memories flooding back. If you love TVR's you will love this. The video has been edited to approximately 1 hour in length and features some classic and appropriate music. It costs £8 plus p&p and is available from mofadesign.iphone@googlemail.com or contact

These are supercharged using 8-71 Littlefield Hi-Helix retro fit blowers and run on methanol fuel . Each engine produces approximately 1600 horsepower.

Aintree "55/55" Classic Sprint and Speed Trials 12 April 10
Aintree Circuit Club's "55/55" Sprint and Speed Trials on Sunday 16th May is to offer a £100 cash bonus* for the fastest time set by saloons, racing cars and sports cars. This £300 prize fund is in addition to offering free display space to any club entering ten cars.
Entries are increasing rapidly but this incentive is designed to encourage even more to take part in this innovative landmark event.
The course is set out on the start / finish straight of Aintree's historic Grand Prix circuit. It's the first time since the Aintree 200 in 1964 that this part of the circuit has been used for a competitive car event, and 55 years on from the 1955 British Grand Prix at Aintree, Stirling Moss's first ever Grand Prix victory.
Spectators will have access to Aintree's fabulous grandstands, with dramatic views over the circuit and the famous Grand National course, which is alongside the Speed Sprint track.
The course will be opened by an Aston Martin DB2/4 which took part in Aintree's first ever motor race in 1954, a race which saw Duncan Hamilton drive his Jaguar C-type to victory. The Club is hoping that several other iconic cars from the circuit's history will take their part in on-track demonstrations.
Neville Hay, one of the most respected personalities from the world of historic motor sport, will commentate at the event.
For more details, Entry Form and Regulations, visit: www.aintree.org.uk

American cars, bikes and commercial vehicles meet 7 April 10
Lytham Enterprise Group have contacted us about a car meet next Thursday evening.
"Lytham Enterprise Group is a local voluntary initiative to attract visitors to Lytham and the surrounding areas.
We are organising an evening meeting for American cars, bikes and commercial vehicles on 15 April 2010 at the Cafe in Lowther Gardens, Lytham, from 6.00pm until sunset and beyond. Indeed, any vehicle that has an American connection would be welcome eg, anything with an American engine such as Buick/Rover V8, TVR's, kit cars, replicas, classic British Fords etc etc. but if in doubt please turn up anyway!
If successful, we hope to make this a regular meeting once a month during the Spring, Summer and early Autumn months. We may also be able to arrange similar meetings for other car groups such as classics, sports, various clubs etc.
The Cafe will be open for refreshments, snacks and evening meals. As you may know, the area is ideal to enjoy a relaxed drive to and the surroundings will be great on a warm Summers evening, with safe parking and family facilities to make a whole evening of it.
All we need is as much support as we can get. With this in mind, we would like to invite all the members of your club who would be interested in attending, even if they don't have an American connection, but are just interested in what we hope will be an enjoyable evening out for vehicle enthusiasts."
