Offhand it was about 20 people. We don't have an number limit so we'll see on the day. I'm expecting some not to be able to make it plus some last minute people turning up on the day.

You should. It'll be good to see you again and will be an interesting visit.

Ian, Ian

Just found out we have visitors this weekend - may try and get rid of them early Sunday morning so I can pop along :)
Unlikely though

Have fun everyone.

Found this thread from a search...

My brother pointed out Ivan’s you tube channel yesterday and I’ve been binging since.

What a cracking old boy (80!!) and still blasting along through life.


Channel is called Ivan’s Shed. He started it a couple of years ago but then stopped and it’s restarted a couple of months ago with his grandson doing the filming.

Yep I’m an absolute fan - could listen to him all day.

Best quote for me so far was when he was talking about using syringes to prime the carbs he said “I’ve got a load of these lying around from when I had the throat cancer”

Loved the 2 cylinder mini engine but his lotus was my fave - he flew along in that

It's just about the only car related channel I watch, really enjoy it. No nonsense, just deep down, casual, ability.
