Good luck guys and drive carefully.

It all went well so far - the Zetec is on the back of the loader on its way up to Al's, and the V6 had been parked up in P with the handbrake off, so we didn't have the siezed brakes shenanegans to deal with. That one is due to be collected tomorrow, eventually to be subject to a good old dismantling session.
Hope everyone made/makes it home in one piece!

Another excellent day. As said V6 is rolling free so should easily go up on a trailer. The inhabitants of the village are....interesting....., but they seem happy the garden is being cleared.
We were going to have tea on site, but a bout of 'Blackpool Syndrome' (nobody brought a cup
) meant we feasted on donuts before retiring to the previously mentioned pub for lunch.
Mick joined us this time, lovely to see you again mate and your car is just stunning.
Al's got some cleaning to do
Now why do I like this dashboard?
Some actual roadworthy Cougars attended
It's a lovely part of the world....
And an arty one to finish

Haa! Thanks for that pretty shot (#6) of Tiger - I'm saving that one. Pic #1 showing the scabby (but Kurusted) arch, not so much.
Mick, your car is an absolute credit to you. As a standard car - fried eggs and all - it's immaculate. I don't think there's another set of C1 lights in the country that look that good!
I had a fantastic day with some good friends, and I look forward to us getting stuck in on the hard work of restoring the Zetec and stripping out the V6.
Though I would like to know what sort of dog was sleeping in that car. Long-haired GSD by the look of things.

Thats me home... 430mile journey on 3 and half hours sleep.
Fantastic day but will post more tomorrow. Goodnight!

You've been a hero and I'm sure that Al has been suitably appreciative. Go to bed. We'll see you tomorrow.
Oh, and when you get up again, please give me your Paypal email address. There's a little red Cougar here that needs paying for.
Back in the land of the living
Yesterday was a fantastic day... Honestly was, its a amazing what a difference it makes to spend it with great people.
The site is beyond words, apart from the locals who think they are driving tanks... there are cars everywhere you look, cars that should have been saved many moons ago
But the Zetec was loaded, delivered to Alan's (including many spiders and Snails) unloading Alan got her running and she reversed into the garage under her own steam which was amazing for a car that had been sat for that long! But it was hairy at times (not just the car) but reversing with no brakes
I honestly can say, this is what the club is about... A group of people getting together because they want to make a difference and have a laugh along the way.
My Arty shot for the day

Nice one guys, the spider population of Mansfield must be pleased with their new friends
Just think how clean they will keep Al's garage? They will all start to emerge now
Yeah it did want to run mate, but it could possibly be out of fuel or whats in there could just be so old and horrible it won't run on it. Looking forward to getting it stripped down, loads of useful bits
The V6 is on the trailer and 'homeward' bound.
Last known location; on the back-roads somewhere around Swindon.

Great day out. I'm currently under the zetec sussing the underbelly and getting some brakes on but I'll come back later with more details and praise for a great team of guys to have around

She's arrived.
Huge thanks to a couple of friends of mine, Charlie and Ann Whittle, who made this happen.
