It was obviously a great show and I am sorry that I missed it. Great photographs, thank you everyone who has posted and I hope a few more to come yet.
Well done all those who were involved in the build, manning and breakdown for the benefit of the rest of us.
Andy

Great show and always fun to do. Nice to meet so many members (I gave out 3 new membership forms) and the public - who always love the cars. The owners enjoyed themselves too! Here's a little treat - as I don't do the photos as well as others - a clip of the Dilambda starting and leaving the stand : started first time, didn't disgrace herself on the carpet - what a girl! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFNrNQHyYPo |

Well done everyone, great stand and nice to catch up with those of you I did.
Just one little pedantic question ........... I thought you couldn't put a reg plate on a car which makes it appear younger than it is, so how come the Dilambda seems to have a 1967(ish) number ? or am I being really stupid about something obvious ?
Martin.

Hi Martin,
In those days if you imported a car the DVLA gave it a current registration and marked the Log Book with that year as the year of construction. Modestine (manufactured 1932) has a 1937 reg number as that was when she was imported. Ade's B50 is another case in point.
We have spoken to the DVLA and have applied for an age related number for the Dilambda. Modestine will remain ERF 294.

Thanks Robin, Makes sense now. I also didn't realise that even ABC 123 formats are year related. Martin. |

Excellent pictures Tony ! In case anyone doesn't know who people are , the group shot behind the Dilambda is myself, Robin, Simon Davis and Chris Hopkins .... all with our arms folded looking defensive ! ( as I was told  ) As a FYI , as several people asked, the slideshow was running on a Raspberry Pi - it was the very simple Model A version plus case and USB power supply - so costs around £30. You can buy these easily enough at Maplin - see http://www.maplin.co.uk/c/gadgets-toys-and-hobbies/projects-kits-and-modules/raspberry-pi - ( model B+ is the one to buy ). The Slideshow downloads pictures from the club database (it knows how to do this with a program 'wot I wrote meeself') and then it'll happily play the slides it's downloaded whenever it's switched on without any special knowledge of how to run a computer. If anyone has a Pi and wants to play, drop me an email and I can talk send you the SD card image , ( the basic command for running it was taken from a Raspberry Pi project magazine I saw in Sainsbury's .... ) |
