I had some fun, spoke to several people I know, bought a few things, left nothing behind I'm kicking myself for. I reckon it was a fun day out for a fiver.
Arriving at 10.00am, I drove straight in - although I was almost the last to do so and I could see the traffic stacked up on the road behind me. By the time the gates were opened, the traffic jam had cleared and a stream of cars was flowing in still, although my gut feeling is that there were fewer punters this time than last autumn. I could not go in the spring as the dim-witted fools had set it on Easter Saturday ;o((
I promptly found a brace of unrestored Tiny Tim generators which I equally promptly bought. I found a very nice brass topped tripod to display one of my big spotlamps, an eighty year old Villiers twostroke engine with the radial head finning, mounted on a bearer block and complete with ignition generator (which works), carb and exhaust, a couple of Wico flat twin mags, one £20 & the other £3.00 and some much needed petrol taps and cork seals at very reasonable prices from a certain Wild and Wolseley Scotsman! The cork seals fit the Enot's type of petrol tap, (the flat blade ones) and at six for a quid are an absolute bargain - go get some this winter and stop yer taps leaking in an unsightly fashion.
That was all, really, but I went round part of it again, filling up my pockets with whim purchases like a pair of beautifully made servo motors for two quid that fit in the palm of the hand and other odds and sods.
Nick Highfield found me a couple of twin cylinder distributors that might come in very handy on the Vee4 until the right BTH MC2's turn up.
What's in *your* boot?
