Bob & Sylvia's BBQ

For the last three years in April Bob & Sylvia have opened the doors of their home to hold a Kit
& Classic car day and BBQ.
This was the first time I had taken my car along to this event, So we set off Saturday lunch time with me in the Hood and Becks & Tasha in the tin top via our sat nav's own crazy route!!
We arrived to find that there was already a good turn out of cars with a few of the RHOCaR guys making the trip.

Phil Shelton had made the trip down from Leicester from the weekend with Hoody bear raising funds for the Air Ambulance Association.

Tasha with the S7.

The weather was spot on too, what more can you ask for.

In the afternoon we all had some fun with home made bow and arrows in true Robin Hood fashion, the name of the game was to hit the target to win chocolate. with this in mind Becks was the first to find the mark, anything for a chocolate bar!!
other people started to hit the target not long after and soon the arrows were flying through the air and chocolate was soon being munched by one and all.
Bob did make us all giggle by firing a couple of the home made arrows with his sling shot! He didn't get very far though. after a couple of tries he gave up and went to man the barbecue.
the smell of the burgers and sausages was soon wafting down the garden, so we made our way back up the garden where Bob and Sylvia had laid on a wonderful BBQ feast for us.
there was enough food to feed an army , and we all did our best. with plenty of soft drinks and alcohol for those that weren't driving to wash it down with a great time was had by all.
Bobs own take on the Robin Hood 2B with stainless steel panel work he has made himself.
we left at about 9.15 after being lucky enough to watch Bob fire up his engine. sounding good Bob!
we made our way home in a convoy at the end of a very enjoyable day.

Windscreen Weather Strip

I have fitted a weather strip to the top rail of the windscreen. This should stop any rain water from coming in under the Surrey hood, it is made up from a rubber D section.


The Surrey hood in place, as you can see from the photo the D section makes a good tight seal.
This should also work well with the full weather gear.
