    cheers for that ron, back to southchurch park then as redmad has confirmed, did you look at the possible humphrey pic i put on earlier??

    Yes thats Humphrey in the schoolgirl outfit.

    Now here's a poser for you,

    Who remembers "The Secret Rodder's Ball"?

    1st year the CDSRC put on a run, but forgot to publicise it!!!
    Result: hardly anyone turned up!!
    The EPF turned up on Sunday and doubled the attendance figures!

    So for the next year, I renamed it and let everyone else know about it!!
    The brain cells regarding that event have been long since deleted, apart from the image of Archie & Ray from The Brighton Lot, doing a human tank across the field!!

    Has anyone got any photos or memories of these runs?

    Cool pics of the Ardleigh run, Vanilla OLay was my Pop!!
    I was rudely woken at about 8.30am on the Saturday morning by Electric Funeral revving up right next to my tent. Best alarm I've ever had!

    Was that the run where we had lawnmower racing Grand prix?

    GOOD, FINALLY GOT TO HUMPHREY, YES I REMEMBER THE SECRET STREET RODDERS BALLS, (OO-ERRR!) I WENT TO I THINK 2 OF EM, I HAVE A FLYER IN BOBS BOX, & A LOAD OF PICS OF MY OWN , BUT NOTHING ON FILE, I AM A LITTLE CONFUSED ON THE DATES, I HAVE A NOTE THAT THERE WAS 1 IN 82? (this is probably the lack of advertisiments one cause i cant confirm it?), & THERE WAS DEFINATELY 1 ON THE 13TH TO 15TH OF JULY 84, I KNOW THE SECOND ONE WAS HELD AT GILSTED HALL, COXTIE GREEN ROAD BRENTWOOD, THIS WAS MENTIONED IN CUSTARD CART JUNE 84.

    DEFINATELY BE BACK ON THIS ONE, KEEP REMINDING ME IF I FORGET.....

    Coryton Test strip

    I'd forgotten about you using the Coryton road as a test strip Marty!

    I always used that same road as a test track whenever I did any work on my cars too!

    Ranging from try outs of the MG1300 engine we put in my brother's Mini, to an all out attempt to grenade the Dolomite engine in my Pop, before I swapped it for a 2000 pinto engine. (I failed!) Just goes to show what a great little engine that was.

    My Pop was last seen heading towards Colchester on a trailer in 2000.

    It was Red with gold & silver graphics then.



    It is still registered with DVLA but dunno if its on the road.
