Good to see some old faces tonight and indeed some new ones - long may it continue!!!

Only thing that put a crimp in the evening was getting caught by a speed camera on the way home :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :help: :banghead:

Great to see the Bluesmobile - this was docked at the top (and bottom!!!) of the car park...it attracted lots of admiring glances. Paul was particularly taken with it, he may give up racing now!!!!!

Also a very sharp and stylish newer Mustang accompanied it.......thanks to both of you for swelling our ranks!

Yes good to meet a few of you finally. I'm sure I'll be soon picking all your brains to get the Bluesmobile running right!
Had a bit of an embarrassing issue when we left as it wouldn't start! Just wouldn't fire up just like when I first got it. Luckily I had a jerry can of fuel so poured a bit straight in the carb, left for a few seconds then it fired up no problem. I'm thinking maybe a fuel pump issue. Wonder if it's worth fitting an electric pump.

Sorry about the Speed camera Pete! :(

See you all next month!

It might be worth starting a "Workshop" tread on the Bluesmobile so you can keep track on developments and other people can see the fruits of your labour....

In terms of fueling, an electrical pump can need a bit of plumbing in and can be noisy, so a mechanical one is fine for basic everyday usage.

Small block and Big Block fuel pumps are different ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)

No probs, it'd be great if we could take up more of those spaces. Maybe park length ways I guess :lol:

Stuart was there in the Polara, honest. But he doesn't park with us ruffians as he has his own bay :lol: :lol:

Thinking about it, with Matts chally, the new bluesmobil and the twins satty. Oh and if we could tempt Stu to park nearer, we would have a nice line up for a Wednesday evening :thumbright:
