Air-cooled action from Tregrehan

Post by KS »

Nice local hill climb meeting saw JWhillracer make the trip back 'home' in his 914/6, plus local Mike Phillips in his Carrera 3.2. Loads of assorted modern hatchback, a smattering of single-seaters, an Audi AllRoad(!) driven by my old friend Bob Hatton, and some nice bikes, my fave being this Triumph...

Frustrated with myself. I had this down to visit but for some reason thought it was in a couple of weeks. And it looks like you got decent weather. October it is then.

I am in the center of Truro Keith.

Looking good JW, are you doing Bo'ness again this year? I am going to miss sadly, doing La Crofterra Pandemonia which clashes unfortunately/fortunately.
Pictures at Treghorn look good though. Would like to do a Hill Climb this year, still not lost the excess 2 stone but do have full throttle which I hope will get us round the parade laps at CLM, still expect to get lapped. Catch up soon I hope.

Yes, Management tells me that we will be at Bo'ness again, so that's settled! :bounce:
Pity you can't make it, we'll have to get Bill to shift the date for next year, since it also clashes with our Wiscombe Park week-end down here.
How about coming down to the AMOC Sprint at Curborough on Sept 21st? There's usually a big Porsche entry, and it's a good fun event.
Cheers!
