South West, Devon Area news
Devon Area May 2024 Events
May Club Night was dry for a change and there were a fair few Triumphs out. We were delighted to welcome new members Peter and Stefka. Peter has owned his 1500 Spitfire for 15 years. 4 Stags, Steve’s, Hugh’s, Peter’s and Charlie’s; Julian’s Bond, Shane’s Dolomite, Mark’s TR6 and the other 1500 Spitfire was John L’s.
Then we were off to Brittany on a trip organized by Steve Woollett. A first for Devon as the farthest we have been before was the Isle of Wight. We travelled via Plymouth / Roscoff to our hotel at Lacronnan. Wonderful routes chosen by Steve W and on the Friday we were joined by the Triumph Club of Brittany with Pierre la Fol and several of their members all with stunning TRs. We had 9 Stags, 2 Vitesses, 2000, Dolomite, TR6, Bond, 2500 PI Estate, Spitfire and Neil’s TR8 (all the way from London), and Greg’s Jaguar Special, Richard’s MGA and a Moped! A few minor problems, loose jubilee clips x 2, fuel filter, split hose, flat tyre on the ferry and finally a lost headlight and wiper problem. A great trip, and we went places we would never have found on our own. It was good to get two great Clubs together, TSSC and the SOC, on an informal but hugely enjoyable holiday when existing friendships were reinforced and new ones made. The car of the week, chosen by the hotel, was Graham & Alison’s Vitesse, but I think the bravery award has to be Steve Horswell’s – for refusing to put his hood up even in the torrential rain when we landed. An unwelcome parking fine in the post for some – it appears that those with yellow number plates were caught on camera before we left Millbay Docks as we all gathered together for the trip! A huge thank you to Steve W and everyone who made this such a success. Thanks too to Rimmer Bros and TSSC HQ for supporting our venture with vouchers – much appreciated.
