"no great blood loss"
Incredibly useful. I nailed one of the Rottweiler's squeaky toys to the underside of a garage ceiling joist after one too many squeaks

Jeepers , he could have retired on it probablyNice to see you've got the Corvette banner on the wall to remind you what that strange car you've got is.
At my age I not only have trouble remembering what they are, but where to park them too......

The baby 'D' type looks great - be interesting to know how well it does at Bonhams. My cousin had a real one back in the '60's. I don't know what he finally sold it for, but he's regretted it ever since!

Just back from a great evening meet for Classic cars & bikes at Silverstone Circuits newish museum . American and Hot Rods was the feature this time . Only a small turn out but this event is in its infancy . Glorious evening , interesting cars , met interesting people and three of us from CCCUK turned up plus another two C3`s . The blue one for sale and the gorgeous yellow stroker with roller lifters and a very good engine spec . Gareth the owner was from Milton Keynes and had only owned it three months and a newbie to American cars and Corvette ownership . I think I talked him into becoming a member as was keen to learn more , get knowledge and support and I gave him recommendations for trustworthy workshops experienced in Corvettes and Americans in our area . Dave K from Central South Region and I were last to leave and took advantage of some sunset Vet shots .

Yesterday has become today now , but what a great turn out at the Earls Barton monthly midweek classic car and bike meet . There must have been close on 400 cars there at the peak of the show . It`s got to be the best `casual ` meet of it`s kind on a midweek evening and all for a £ fiver ! It always throws up an amazing variety of cars from an ultra rare and now very expensive Lancia Aurelia B4 Coupe to this stunning Hot Rod . Four of us from BBNC Region attended plus plenty of other Americana .
Great cars , great company and coffee , cake and Corvettes . ( Great fish & chips too ) , what`s not to like ??
The show field shot was taken only half our after the gates opened at 4.30 pm . By 6.30 pm the field was full .

Yeah , very odd set up on a stonking great Oldsmobile lump . Couldn`t miss it for miles !
Here are some more Earls Barton beauties from English elegance to American muscle with some Italian style thrown in for good measure . The big block Camaro was stunning .

4 of us just erected our club stand at Passion for Power at Tatton Park this weekend followed by a hearty full English as a reward.
For the first time in what feels like forever, we may have a dry weekend but I won't hold my breath

Aw you did put my Z in, although it was probably the least shiny of all of them there - thank you. Just back from a 10 day tour of France hence the dirt and the UK sticker! I’ll try to write and article about the trip for the magazine….

Corvettes at Holdenby House Classics yesterday . BBNC members Rob & Tina Thornton attended with their C2 Big Block and me and my better half in the C3 . The owner of the black C5 was a lapsed member from Rutland but I convinced him he should re join the club . A few other Yanks there too 
and some rare and unusual other classics . The venue is a lovely Tudor mansion where King Charles 1st. was banged up before he lost his head after the English Civil War . We took afternoon tea in very genteel style in the old stable block tea rooms and the had the best home made scrummy cakes ever - ever .
