The most memorable thing about
Stoneleith 2014 was that it was WARM & SUNNY!
John Helliwell, Rog and I arrived on Saturday and got the ten tu
without any hassle, swearing or bad temper - because I left it to the
two chaps!
Amazingly, considering how many people had already arrived, and were
arriving, on Saturday, there was nowhere open to eat, so we cobbled
together bits of our breakfast and Sunday`s BBQ to make a meal.
We had a splendid turn out of a dozen or so cars and the usual
collection of tents so we looked like a gypsy
encampment.
We did not get many day visitors from ShACC but the BBQ on Sunday was
enjoyed by all.
We thought there were fewer stalls in the big cattle shed and perhaps a
few less car manufacturers. Body shells like the Bertini on a
BMW
Z3, and the Healey Enigma on an MX5 seems to be the name of the
game. Also some very flash `supercars` for road,
track or
just to impress.
Chesil was there now with a much updated Porsche Speedster running
gear, a great improvement from the old VW beetle it has used
for
years.
Nevertheless, there was loads to look at and enjoy, even if one was not
looking to parts or a new car.
A wander round all the pitches is always fascinating even if some, like
the GT 40s opposite ShACC, only turn up on Sunday& then go home
never to be seen again.
