Any one going to Donnington on Saturday ?

Any one going to Donnington on Saturday ?

I’ll have a wander up there Dan if the weather seems kind.

We were there, tucked away in the corner a bit near the REVS stand in the green E10.

Was good to see Dan’s E14 up close, it looks just as good as the pictures do. Had a good day out and there seemed to be a high number of the retro classics (70’s-90’s) that I grew up with. I think Dan spoke to my brother, thanks for the info about the heater valve.

£2 for a cup of tea was a bit steep though!

Does anyone know what the blue trailer in the auction got up to before they ended it?

Thanks Marc

First one for 2014 Breakfast on Standage. 9am to 9.30am onwards.

Terry Mellor owns the Albion Claymore breakdown lorry pictured above, he is no relation as far as I am aware to David who used to operate from Sandybrook Garage, Ashbourne. Terry is the commercial section steward for Cromford Steam Rally, hence his early arrival on site, he also organises Belper Steam Rally and The Limestone Run.

Yes and only members of Terry’s elite club get to go.

Is David the one from stockcar fame, he used to have a race car on top of the garage roof :open_mouth: ?

Hiya yes he was the world champion in the early 80’s. Dave did own Sandybrook garage but its been sold now.

Dave Mellor won the stock car world final in 1978 at the old Belle Vue stadium .
