Re: national 2014
Last year was the first National that I've ever stayed at - had a fantastic and hugely memorable time.
Was looking forward to this year, especially as I've never been to Northumberland. However, unexpectedly my wife and I have bought a house, I've only ever invested in classic cars before so we're first time buyers! Unfortunately it's left me with not very much holiday time and even less money so we won't be attending. Indeed the cars and caravan won't be doing very much this year...just the odd excursion.

Not quick enough when you are looking forward to it, but too quick when you are trying to get a new car ready....!

Re: national 2014
I know what you mean John, I would like to give the Pi engine a refresh before we go, but the house is taking up all my time at the moment.
I even have to get the diff out and fit a refurbished nose piece and new front seal before next Friday and camping at Runswick.

Here, Colin, I've got a lovely, low mileage set of rings you could use, but only five pistons worth...CRAJ wrote:I know what you mean John, I would like to give the Pi engine a refresh before we go, but the house is taking up all my time at the moment.

Re: national 2014
So with only 13, yes 13 sleeps to go how is it looking for everyone?
Bill we are all hoping everything is OK and that you can make it.
John W, have you started prepping your car yet and is Dave B going home at all at the moment?:lol:
I'm hoping for the big start up tonight with FRanK, so pinkies crossed and I know Sharon was planning some refurb work (suspension and gearbox) on the Spi.
Just washing and polishing for the rest of you I guess.
