Hardly worth the effort these days keeping thing going. In 2016 when I handed over the data base, (where that gone?) we had 32 paid up members, 6 to 8 cars at shows, active rebuilds and projects that actually got on the road. now, very little, Titch and co are trying I know. .
I have over 120 so called projects on record and NONE of them are anywhere like finished, (including mine but, there again I am 78 this year). I know there are some super cars out there and the thought of them rotting in some shed or back yard really saddens me.
I know we could buy the new shell from Belgium and glass from Pilkington but donor Fords and VW's are getting really rare and expensive. cost about 10K plus donor, but so many going to scrap and parted out for Ford and VW parts. It is really sad and I can see a day when there will only be a handful of cars left in ANY condition.
About 190 cars on the register and possibly a 100 more not listed. turn out at show, 2.
With day rates really cheap and quarterly tax available no excuses,
Come on guys and galls, never mind the hum rum existence forced on you by life, get in the shed, it is your life too, not just the donkey for the family or the boss.

It's a shame Peter, really is.. I can't (won't) use my mobile phone on the forum, so only when I get chance do I come here on the computer.. "Not Many Of Us Left" really..but I keep at it slowly.. Brakes to have pedals fitted then hydraulic fluid in... then the bodywork....

Come on guys and galls, never mind the hum rum existence forced on you by life, get in the shed, it is your life too, not just the donkey for the family or the boss. To be fair, only 3 novas , and no Nova club stand, 2 eagles then, aint bad.
The Green RV was on the North West kit cars stand and owner DID visit the Eagle stand - so that make 3 eagles !
3 Eagles and 3 novas. A record for the Eagle Owners club to match the the number of Novas ! ! ! if you look at that way, so hopefully next year, after shameing all the Eagle owners on here, including myself, there should be more Eagles.
So Yes, come on. one last try to get those cars out, give them a good run, get the grease flowing to where it's needed instead of congealing. Yes, grease congeals if not used regularly. So check your wheel bearings, both inner and outer roller bearings, ( pull off the hubs ), and propshafts ( Ford ) and rear drive safts ( V.W )
