What the story on that i240 parked up? Also i nearly bought D600 DFK years ago and regret not buying it all the time, its one of my favorite cars! It now lives in Ireland in a very rich mans private collection. Shame it wont see the road that much as its there to be driven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H-400 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Nice there will be some other of this forum! @ Danny:And we will take pics! After Castle Combe we drive back to the same hotel and Sunday we are going to enjoy England. Driving south and avoiding the highway, folowing the coastline direction Dover. And yes, a car is made to drive with it. Sorry to read this i240 is eating dust. Question for the PC-specialists there I want to get those pics on this forum: Photobucket f****d us, so what photouploader can you all recommend me? Got some pics of the Nürburgring (last augustus).

H-400 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 My wife has got a Canon Eos reflexphotocamera. Such a big thing she always carry with her on such occasions, normally I upload the pics from her digital flash-card. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it sums up the club and modern attitudes now the lack of interest in showing car. As area rep of the North West it turned into a complete arse of a job =, me and Kev got so fed up we don't organise anything anymore! Next year will be mainly drives out and track days i think etc as I get fed up of seeing them parked up in a field! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm building mine to a concours standard but when finished it will be used and shown as much as possible rain of shine they weren't built to be ornaments!!!

H-400 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 (edited) Thanks for the nice comments, I appreciate this! All started when I read Adam's post. And Simon looking for "400"s... There was not much interest from OMOC, then we had to choose: Cause for us we had to look for a hotel, booking the ferry and so on... Things you 'v got to book early , so we took the chance. And I wanted to see those ex-groupe B cars, the Missus was also enthousiast. Yet everything looks great! Some forum-members are also there so it will be nice to meet them. And as we think the Club was not interested: I have a very busy life. Sometimes I have even no time to visit my parents or family cause of my professional life. So even the "400" club thinks I am lost while I am in the midle east on the border Israel/Libanon... Tomorrow 'v got the day off, cleaning the "400" and preparing for a nice weekend! @ Simon: would be proud to be a part of your display!

bris jas Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Great day at castle Combe today, nice to see so many Manta 400's and Ascona's. We had our Mantas in the car park, so hopefully we can get a stand next year. Lots of action and some proper retro and modern rally cars and drivers. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H-400 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Hi All, some more pics Martine took. First I want to thank everybody for the warm welcom! We had to hit the road at 06.00 AM so had no time to have breakfast. Simon & Guy treated us with a full breakfast at the diner, great! @Simon: Thanks for fitting me in, was great to be a part between those legends. Simon running around to organise everything: This man with Italian colours is thinking he chose the wrong brand of car: Thanks for taking our son with you, he realy enjoyed it: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
