4. Possibly a 1950's Aurora 88 (if I can get a nib for it in time) or an Aurora Archivi Storici

Now, pick the bones out of that lot!
Surely the Aurora should only be used at the Le Mans Classic?

I have bought a mate's entire camping set up for a very reasonable price.
Tent, fridge (gas/electric), camping table, gas cooker, inflatable mattress with elec pump, camping pot set, small fire extinguisher, sundry lights, plates etc and a roof box to put it all in.

I have a flat battery to sort on the Hymer, and MOT time, to boot. If I intend to top the Namby Pamby league, I need to get the old girl there!

Yes.

These are as fake as a 3 euro note and are intended for campsite use only.

Just as well I turned down the batch of 3 euro notes I was offered and took the genuine 4 euro ones instead then :-)

I'm on a trimming down mission this year. Last couple of years we've combined it with a family holiday, this year it's back to a mate and me (not sure if others are joining us there as yet or not) - going in a dinky Citroen C1 and camping in little tents etc!

In early eighties two of us drove down in a mark 1 spitfire it took ages squeezing in all our gear, stuff under the seats and any available space, on the way down we then stopped for lunch and bought food/beer etc and the only space available was on our laps, and remember there were no seat belts on cars that age, i was surprise the suspension held out

Happy to report Hermione's running fine now. I just need to work out why the shower switch isn't working, and buy a second gas bottle. Supplies will be sourced locally!
Well, apart from the local cheese and a decent single malt I hope to introduce at The Meeting.

perhaps we could introduce Hermione to my mates recent purchase a 30 year old LDV pilot, used as a charity vehicle for the past 250k miles, they might get on alright, we are all on the 7.50am shuttle on tuesday but the old bus might not arrive until a little later than my jag and the daimler

That sounds good but someone has to empty it, and after a diet of beer and BBQ food that is not always a job that will find many people happy to do.

Most of our group will be in 2 seater sportscars and up until the mid '90s we did just that, but more recently we have got someone to drive a van with all the gear so we can enjoy the cars properly. After a years absence I will be taking my 1961 Austin Healey 3000 - it could almost find its own way there as it has been to Le Mans many times since I bought it in 1984
