A Busy April in Devon

A fantastic April Club get together at the Star Inn. A total of 8 Triumphs out, with Julianâ€™s trusty Trabant and Richardâ€™s MGA to complete the numbers. Delighted to see Morten from Denmark again, with Tim (Burlington Arrow) & Dawn. Robert H brought his stunning GT6, Dan brought Karenâ€™s Vitesse â€“ so close to my Herald in registration â€“ now back on the road after several years off. This was previously owned by Julian so he was as delighted as Karen to see it again. We looked under the bonnets of many, especially impressed with the concours standard of Mike Hâ€™s owned from new Spitfire. Steve C brought his Stag and Bob his Vitesse. John & Irene brought their 1500 Spitfire and we met new member Mike B with his recently purchased and absolutely gorgeous 1500 Spitfire. N reg like mine was way back when and I had forgotten the awkward position of the ignition â€“ who on earth thought it was a good idea to design it between your legs? I well remember stalling mine in the middle of a Plymouth junction, seat belt locking up so I could not reach to get it started again! On leaving to go home, Mikeâ€™s lights failed to come on but, as we have two ex auto-electricians in our midst my John and John L, a quick twiddle of a fuse, and off Mike went all lights ablazing.
Our drive it Day was a massive success with around 25 Triumphs turning out and mainly dodging the April showers. 10 cars met at Morrisons, Tavistock, including Milesâ€™ beautiful Mk3 GT6 in Magenta, gorgeous car. Another new car on the block was the Java Green Mk4 Spitfire of Lin & Chris. Furthest travelled at this point were Sue & Steve from Lyme Regis in a beautiful Inca Stag. Reaching Strawberry Fields Farm Shop after an unexpected diversion saw us driving round in a circle, the furthest travelled went to Chewy & Tina in their 2500 PI from Bridgwater. More and more arrived and we were well looked after in the food department! Leaving there we headed off to Dingles Fairground Heritage where we gained our final numbers. We all managed to park together and turned many heads on the day. A lot of fun was had on the various fairground rides â€“ reliving our childhoods.
