How was Roverfest today for those who went?
Shame I didn’t put my name down this year, but I only returned from holiday in North Devon on Saturday and had a 6 hour car journey and a 6am start on Saturday.
Didn’t fancy another 5+ hours in the car on Sunday and another early start.

What a fabulous day for which only the greatest praise and can be expressed both for the event and the organisation which went before it.
Whilst every model Rover was ever a milestone of automotive progress before lack of investment, poor management and an inept Government closed the doors forever, I'm sure no one will disagree the engaging display was the P4's - surely the most quintessential example of true British Workmanship ever produced in the post-war period.
Above all however, was the overall comeradery that our and kindred clubs like ours engender at these events, such as how Paul, having remembered a post I made for a crankshaft holding tool some while ago took the trouble to bring one for me to take dimensions of.
Thanks Paul. (and I hope you had a pleasant journey back to Inverness Andrew).
Regards to all,
Stan.

Moody Saturday evening sunset

When was the last time you saw 3 Tourers together?

Some of the last club cars on the field...

Hopefully somebody will have taken more from Sunday - I was too busy talking and selling
