Sunday 17th November - North Weald Breakfast Meet.

 The weather wasn't looking too bad today, so Gavin and I decided to give this breakfast meet a go. I'd been here once before about two years ago and suffered a broken ball joint on the way home, so hopefully I wouldn't suffer the same fate this time. 

We met up at half eight and took the old A130 to Chelmsford, then the A414 towards Harlow. It was a good drive and didn't take long. I think it took nearly as long to drive all the way round the outside of North Weald airfield it's so bloody big! 

We parked up and grabbed a coffee and a bacon bap before the queues got too big. There were some interesting cars there including not one, but two Vauxhall Carlton Lotus's. 

There were some other 60's cars there as well, but not many as this is just a 'car meet' rather than a 'classic car meet'. It was a morning out though and good to get out of the house. 

We left around lunch time and had a good drive home. However, on arrival at my place I was disappointed to discover that once again, my car was leaking oil. It appeared to be coming out from around the dipstick area. Removing the dipstick with the engine running found that the oil was spraying up the dipstick tube like a fountain! Obviously something not right here then, so some investigations need to be carried out. Bloody old cars eh? 😟
