Dutton Kit Cars and their owners
the weather post
Clocks sprung forward, the weather sprung back, tipping it down, blowing a hoolie and cold, could it be Easter is coming, all the campers are getting excited at pitching in the rain etc. I want to blast about in the B+. Looks like a day in the cave.

well, got that wrong ! went to Werrington hill climb, Thats up at Launceston, Devon Cornwall border, the bad lands. Any way cracking day, warm in the sun, cold in the cloudy bits. Lots of thrills and spills. Took the B+ and had lots of interest shown in the car park, walking down the hill and met a guy I haven't seen in 40 years, he taught me how to race bikes! and he is still doing it ! Turbo Kawasaki, fully road legal, it was shaking in its frame on tickover due to the hairy cams. Well not a lot got done time we passed on what each other had been up to. A couple of old fishermen, mine was bigger then yours :-)) I came away happy and took the main road to Tavistock, its always quiet, crossing the Tamar there is a great hill with several good wide bends, so I had my own class of hillclimb, car is performing great. Here's to a good summer.

It was very chilly over the weekend at Stoneleigh. On Sunday morning it had warmed up to 2C by 8am but it was colder at 6:30 when this photo was taken. Why do we have the AGM in the middle of winter?

From what I remember it used to be warmer back in the early 00's.
Nice photo though. It wasn't that cold in Bolton at 6.30, no frost and very little moisture on the Sierra.

The water droplets on the outside of my tent had turned to ice. It is difficult to sleep when the air in your tent is that cold. I slept well enough, with a Dutton hat on and a blanket over my head, but by 6:30am there was lots of condensation and it was the damp pillow and bedding that forced me out of bed. (No, I had not wet myself after too much beer in the club marquee).
It was a nice bright morning though and it felt good to have survived!

You guys have really helped me keep the old girl on the road and I really do appreciate all the help you have given me. After a diabetic coma I could no longer work and it was either sell my Dutton or my truck to pay for cataract surgery. lol, I could not bear to part with the old girl so I sold my truck.

Apart from the clear sky at night, it was a bit of a mixed bag with plenty of cloud and some brighter spells, but I rained quite hard today at home time. I reversed my Leggie into the marquee to load my stuff. (We had all packed up the camp when it was dry in the morning). It was tiring and the old joints are aching now but it was fun.

It's here, cracking morning, breakfast on the patio. Can feel the warmth creeping through the bones, heatwave on its way :-)) once Stoneleigh is done the sun is out.
