A very enjoyable post-Christmas lunch today with the North West Marcos Owners massive. Back to The Partridge near Warrington which is a decent Grade II listed venue. A surprise appearance with the legendary Bob Knott (my predecessor as CMI regional organiser) meant much catching up. Unfortunately this was at the expense of various other attendees who I look forward to chewing the fat with at the next car show/event. Most people seemed to be planning to attend the CMI Annual Rally at Snetterton, so that should be fun. Maybe a convoy to be had?…

No-one showed up in their Marcos, possibly because like me they were nieve enough to believe the Met Office forecast for drizzle. Needless to say this never materialised & we would have been fine in the Mantis. Oh well! Also a number of cars off the road (in Bob’s case for a quite impressive number of years!). Looks like some things haven’t changed for 2025.
