Unless I've got me counting wrong, looks like there's been more activity since Christmas on the P5 3L forum than on the P5B 3.5L forum  Must be because we P5 3L owners are better able to stand the cold than you V8 wusses with yer Rostyles and yer integral fog lamps and other namby-pamby suchlikes. So we work on our cars rather than leave them tucked up in centrally heated garages during the coldest months. Welcome to the world of 3 litres - tough cars for tough men . |

Theyre maybe more activity on the P5 Forum, thats because most of the P5b owners were outside tinkering with there cars and not sat in front of a PC. ;D I for one was forced out of my house into my unheated garage over the Christmas period by having the Mother in Law down to stay and my Wife at work.

Just a thought....................
Maybe at the National this year we can have a 3ltr v 3.5ltr Tug of War (people not cars) although that too sounds exciting.
Then were see who's namby pamby !
Bring it On!
Big Kev.
Ps Pat,Your the anchor man.

A tug of war sounds fun - count me in!
Trouble is, there are probably more P5b's than P5's and the P5b's owners might just be younger and fitter !?!
This years NATIONAL RALLY will be at BROOKLANDS in Surrey.
Last time we went there was the National when Princess Diana had just died and we went into London after the rally - very moving.

Er, this proposed tug of war.......has anyone got a P5B with strong enough bodywork/frames to attach the rope to? ;D Oh, and do I balance my old threepenny bit upright on the engine whilst taking part in the tug of war, or during the silent driving competition?  Yours not very convincingly.. G |

Its true that 3 lire owners will not be able to hear the engine running...............because the engine will have stalled, and in any case, at least the B has an engine WORTH hearing.

Right then.............................. lets make this a fixture,I will speak with Martin Reed and get this put on the adgenda for the forthcoming National. All you lot have to do is TURN UP!  Lets make this a National worth attending and not the usual poorly attended effort.As it's my regions turn to host it,and it's in a very interesting historic setting (Brooklands) and a lot of effort goes into organising these things put it in your diaries NOW. SEPTEMBER is the month, Big Kev. |

Until last year Nationals were very attended although numbers have been gradually dropping.
Last years terrible weather was really too much!
I doubt if we will make Brooklands - we went 10? years ago and enjoyed it once we found the way in!
Its too far to make it in a day and at the moment cannot see how it could be made into a long weekend but something may turn up

Come on Phil,you can make it.
10 yrs has seen some brilliant changes to the area,and of course Brooklands now have Concorde as an exhibit.
We could set you up with a stall saying "Technical Advice" i reckon you would have a busy day.
Also there are loads of Travelodges on routes into Weybridge,and you never know,some members may have spare rooms so can accomodate a fellow P5/P5B owner.

SEPTEMBER is the month; the fourteenth is the day.
Six cylinder owners enduring the long and arduous journey from far flung places like Watford and North London will probably want to make a long weekend of it (charging their personal 'batteries' for the rigors of the homeward trip).
V8 ers'll probably arrive early, possibly on the Friday evening the cars being that much quicker!)
THIS BEING THE CASE....I'm stringing together a page of words for inclusion in Take Five listing attractions / places of interest in the Surrey / North Sussex area.
But would anyone fancy an organised tour? A 'road-book' and maps guiding you through the country lanes and bye ways of this [part of the world?
Organised, or should I write 'planned' road tour will be arranged dependant upon interest and responses received.......
Comments please by 1st January 2008....TOO late, never mind..
