WE are off to Wheels Day

This is the start of the show season. I missed it last year as the serpantine belt on the van decided to rip itself off the pulleys (and there are a lot of them!).

So this year, Dorset Car Club will be camping for the weekend at the beacon Hill campsite near Upton Poole, and they still have a very limited number of places left. Astronomical, Daisy Van and Freedom will be there!

We willl then be the Can Am Car Club cruise up to Wheels day on Good Friday. We will be leaving Ringwood truck park at 7am on Good Friday morning.

New aerial mount makes good


Put a new mount on the the Day Van. With the help of CB 4x4, visit www.4x4cb.com , the mount was sent. But I had to do much cutting, folding and sticking to an old baking tray to make a suitable ground plane. It reminded me of the good old days (back when Am was about) and we used to use metal biscuit tins a ground planes!

Well the SWR is well down, now I just need someone to talk to!

Another G20 joins the fleet!



Heard about a G20, saw a rubbish picture and said OK!

As usual Caroline is most understanding as now there are 2 full sized Day Vans in front of the house!

It drives well and well ............

Poole needs Dorset Car Club's Help

I had a phone call today from Poole Town Centre Manager .... could we supply some nice cars to make a display in Falkland Square in the centre of Poole on Sunday 21st June, Father's Day.

If you can bring your car along, then log your interest on the Dorset car Club Forum and when I get all the details I will let you know.

Have fun and drive safe.
