Soft top small Fiats, Jolly nice, nah, ha!
Question, Is it now worth cutting down genuine 126 into cabrios now? Maybe one takes a Bis and lops the top off before popping in your super whizzo aircooled engine? A Bis is not a microcar and is not worth that which an aircooled 126 is, especially a good early one. Perhaps it should be done in Birmingham by Bangladeshi mechanics and be called a Fiat Balti? Buying a real Jolly/Gamine/Biancina etc is an expensive option.
Great that the National shared in the stunning weather. Even better for those on a week's hols. Goodness, the faithful needed a reward after what seems several years of damp, wind and discomfort, and that was just the in house catering! If you arrive in a positive mood, easier in nice weather, it is much simpler to have fun.
So would this be as true if the 'correct' weekend had been selected? Does not matter as the organiser has the prerogative to organise within the remit of the NMCR committee. After that it is personnel choice if you attend or not. Want to change things, attend or petition said NMCR post rally meeting and persuade them to change their strategy. I agree with Richard and so do many others but sadly it is simpler to vote silently with feet rather than with a constructive representation at the right time. Meantime I celebrate that everyone had a great weekend whatever they were doing.
