Sounds like you had a great day out Phil, I'm jealous as f:)k! Looking forward to joining you, and hopefully Barry for runs round the Norfolk coast in a month or two. Just the small matter of getting mine roadworthy...

Have you ventured on the motorway with yours yet?

I took mine 1 junction up the M5 tonight just to see how it crusies with the new diif and i can say that mine at least is not really a motorway animal! I came back down the lanes and over the hills and its was considerably more enjoyable :)

That's right, no Motorways round these parts. And if we did have one it'd be nose to tail tractors. :icon_confused:

good to here you motor runing well
27 May 2012, 8:36pm
Another one

Hi All, not been around for a while due to marital issues (split after 27 years) now looks like I will be moving from sunny Boston, hopefully into the not-so-badlands of Norfolk. I have a new lady who is as commited (should read needs to be committed) to the Sammio as me. She is going to help me get it done, and then we may be taking it to Ireland next year for a very special occasion ;-) ;-). Love her to bits, and the new lady is pretty lovely as well! Ooooops. Hope to be chasing you guys round Norfolk asap! Chasing, not perhaps the correct term when driving a 13/60 herald based car but, whatever.

We could start the Norfolk chapter of 'The Hell's Sammios' - paunchy middle aged gentlemen who gatecrash MG owner's club tea dances and cause mild irritation to the traditionalists with our despised 'specials'. :biggrin:
28 May 2012, 11:49am
Are any of you guys considering a run to Newark for the kit car show?
28 May 2012, 3:49pm
Afraid not - my Spyder won't be road ready by then (new deadline early July :ballchain: ) and I'm working on the Sunday. Will probably go next year though in my fully finished, fully sorted Sammio...
