Manchester area news for June/July
In June we attended a day event at the Lymm Historic Transport Day, which was full of classic cars, traction engines, Canal Barges, Bikes, military vehicles etc, we had a good turnout of members cars and the weather was good apart from a wet drive home when the heavens opened.
quick update on work undertaken on our areas members cars, Pauls ongoing Spitfire 1500 restoration, he has started building up the rear suspension, with new bushes, bearings etc, new rear trunnion, plastic bushes and seal kit. Found my Vitesse has a cracked exhaust manifold, luckily the previous owner left a spare in the boot, stripped of both inlet and exhaust manifiold , treated replacement manifold and painted with very high temperture paint and put back on. Rob has put a new clutch assembly in his TR6 and had a run out to our area meeting to check everythings ok, Bill has both camshafts out on his Stag so he can fix the tappets / shims to quieten his engine a bit.
Our July meeting we changed things a bit, instead of been sat in a pub function room listening to me waffle on, we decided to make the most of the summer sunshine and nice weather and met up at a weekly car meet at the Swettenhan Arms in Congleton, a beautiful country pub with a massive car park. when we arrive the car park was packed full of vintage and classic cars, good load of banter and laughs. Please note our next meeting on tuesday 6th August we will be back at the Joshua Bradley, Stockport Road, Gee Cross, Hyde, Stockport, Sk14 5 EZ from 7pm.
We have received our new power flags and banner , very pleased with them and thanks to Nigel at Head Office for arranging these, love the Manchester Bee logo.
