Gents,
A fantastic day was made by seeing you all and meeting some new people too!!!
A cold cold day but the Z club spirit soon warmed us up - I did watch a young lad warming his hands when I popped the bonnet!
Please upload your photos here and I will try to make a feature of it for the front page on my commute this week.
A HUGE thanks again to Paul who spent quite some time sorting out my misbehaving carbs and the car went SOOOOO much better afterwards and used a quarter of the fuel it took to get to Goodwood! Even my buddy Ben exclaimed "my God it pulls like @$%#"!!!! Now I definitely should do those valve clearances - again!
V. Kind of you to stop on the side of the road woody - we had leaned her off a little too far (2.5 turns) and I was getting running on when turning the engine off and hesitation at large revs. I was richening up and it went about three quarters of a turn before being happy again. As Paul said I need to look at that rear carb - I suspect he is right that the choke may be a little tight.
Paul, even my youngest thought you were clever!
Some stunning cars there today and photos below.

BTW did anyone spot the Goodwood estate blocking the exit and giving the burnout boys a very hard time?!? Hardly surprising given the amount of smoke they created - I was sure it was a car on fire!!!!
Thanks all again for making it a brilliant day and my last proper meet up of the year before hibernation and looking forward to seeing you all again socially or otherwise!
