hey cheers @planetauto , as you can see i did not make Halifax, as a last minute trip to the Balkans, beckoned, and as I suffer from Wanderlust it was too good to refuse. I hope you all had a great meet up.
Hi @grindle - sorry for the lare reply. Ben and I had to head south for Goodwood, so it's been a hectic week!
We didn't make Halifax either, as Lady Dorothy's welding wasn't finished...D'oh! Pictures from the event looked good though.
How was the Balkans trip? Are you still there?
Annabelle 😊
hi Annabelle, yes on the last leg now through Bulgaria, leave for home next Sunday. where can I find the photos of the event please?
I guess the Lady D is a bit of a bashed up car??? 😂
Sounds like it's been a great trip, @grindle!

Regarding Lady Dorothy, she's not bashed up. Problem was that a mechanic "fixed" the welding 2 years ago - or we thought he did. He had done a really shoddy job and paid someone to issue an MOT without even looking at the car. We only found out last year when it was time to renew it. The car was still road worthy, thank goodness, as it took us a long time to find someone who was A) Capable - not many mechanics will touch a classic Mercedes 2) Honest and 3) Reasonable - you wouldn't believe how much we had been quoted
Also, the oil pump went and stopped the gearbox working properly, so that had to be fixed first, and again, it took us a long time to find someone who was A) Capable - not many mechanics will touch a classic Mercedes 2) Honest and 3) Reasonable - you wouldn't believe how much we had been quoted.
All in all, it's resulted in a happy ending, as she is now fixed, restored and has passed the MOT.
Although we missed the meet up (and also had to find another car to take to our YouTube Social the next day) she is ready for Silverstone Classic and the Retro Run.
