Hi
   
   Not sure what happened to the special round pass that was supposed to arrive!!!
   
   Was going to bring the 'ol girl' up on my trailer as not quite finished, but no pass could not be bothered!!!
   
   Cheers
A car is only original once, but, you can modify it as many times as you like.

My car my rules.

.
   
   .
   John & Minty, Dave, Kathy & Family
   
   A  BIG THANK YOU !!
   
   For organizing a Brilliant ACOC National Day .....
    Well Extended weekend! ( Friday evening Dinner, Tour of the Fens followed by  Brilliant BBQ, then a one off Sunday)
   
   50 plus at a superb BBQ in such tranquil beautiful settings,  Brilliant Food, Drinks and  really Great Company .  What could be better [?]
   A true Bonus for John..  ..    7 AC Greyhounds on his drive from the 82. ever made [:)]
   
   Sunday, short drive easy entry into Duxford, ( We all queried Minty via  email once we had printed off the so called security entry pass),
   42 AC's displayed to the full in brilliant sunshine with back drop of aircraft,  so much to take in, with fantastic displays of  Multi National old  Air Craft, Tanks and associated memorabilia.
     Definitely Worth a second visit.
   
   Prior to Presentation of Concourse Awards,  The 2 litre Saloons and Bucklands were re-arranged by David Hescroff, Mike Smith and  Mick Walsh for a photographic session in preparation
    for planned article in a future issue  Classic & Sports Car  magazine..[^]
   
   
   John & Minty, Dave & Kathy all the extended Goose Family. You did ACOC Proud... ...   Thank You for a Superb  Weekend.
   
   Those who unfortunately missed a superb National weekend, this really was a very Special  ACOC National.
   
   Cheers for Now
   
   Keith

It sounds like it was a great event, any chance to see pictures?
   
   I thought hard about taking part as this would have been the final motoring event of my Summer holidays but after 2,000 trouble-free miles with the Ace I decided not to push my luck any further!

Keith,
   Sounds like we missed something here!
   I had the chance to pay a quick visit to IWM Duxford early June when on a Lotus trip with my nephew, so I can confirm the very exciting venue of the National Day.
   And there cannot be any doubt about the Goose family's organization skills to have made this into a magnificent ACOC event.
   Pictures would be welcome.
   Cheers
   Constant

Heartily endorse Keith's comments! It has been a great weekend and could not have been improved on. The Gooses laid a golden egg of an event and should be very satisfied with the result! Well done!

Well at least you seem to have got your "security passes"

A few pics from the Saturday evening courtesy of Margaret Bathurst-Brown.
   
   On behalf of my Dad (he's on his way to Croatia in the Greyhound Today) I'd like to thank all those that made the effort to join us over the Weekend.
   Fantastic to see so many AC's parked around the place.

Any chance of some more photos of the cars at the Sunday gathering? (Maybe add to the Photo Galleries section?) e.g concours winners, other models to the above

Nice coverage of the 2 Litre and Buckland  at Duxford by Mick Walsh in November
   Classic and Sports Car
   Many thanks to John Spencer for his superb display and to Mike Smith
   for encouraging a good turnout
   Mike ( Berrisford ) can we look forward to Mick ( Walsh ) getting a drive
    in a 2 Litre ?
   I'd be really grateful if anyone could let me have a few pictures of the Duxford Sunday, or the Saturday drive
