Not good mate! You didn't miss much, Stratford's usually pretty sleepy unless you camp it over with the lads!
At least a H/G on a TU BX is a pretty easy fix. Hardest job you'll have is undoing the manifold bolts, it's really that easy! Slap an AX GT carb and inlet on while you're at it.
If your head's warped badly, I've got a spare AX GT one if you need.

Hi guys!
Just got back from Stratford, left mid-afternoon as the weather turned seriously shite!
I enjoyed the day, even though things were a LOT quieter than last year. We did manage to set up a "BX Photshoot" comprising 7 BXs (including TWO Mk1 GTs!)
I'll post piccies later tonight!
Great to meet up with the other attendees: Smiffy, Mark & missus, Sir Jim of the Databases, Mulley, Geoff G., Tim, Chris S., and others who I forget!
Oh yes, I think I saw Graeme (Aerodynamica) at one point, although didn't get the chance for a chat on this occasion.
It was very weird having a "meet" without the presence of the Doc, whose wit and sarcasm were sadly missed! Get well soon, dude!!
On the whole a good, but quiet, event! NO doggy bags of goodies either this year....only a Visa 30th Anniversary mug!! Credit Crunch, eh???
@Kitch,
Sorry to hear about Nat's car attack. Hope they find the ba$tardfs and castrate the tw@ts!!! Don't worry too much about the boot bits. I'm in no greeat hurry, and I MAY yet have a trip South planned before winter sets in! Watch this space!
@Matt,
Bad luck with the HG on your 14! As Kitch says...not a bad job to sort though. I had to strip/rebuild the head on my old 14, after the cambelt snapped, bending 2 valves. It was quite therapeutic, grinding in valves on a newspaper on my knee, whilst watching Coronation Street on telly!!! Ahhhhhh....Happy days!!
That's about it for now......photos later, and "Cheers" to all my fellow-BXers!!

Well, maybe I'll have a nice AX GT to borrow while it's being fixed... So no rush 'eh

meet
Well it was not a bad day but I was sorry not to see Kitch and Chris again but Tim was there and met Mulley for the first time.
Very suprised not to have met anybody else especially as we got tjhere early and left after Tim.
Saw the activa and did not know whos it was but a nice motor all the same.
Hope you get some joy Kitch, I have a few pics I will sort out later.
Cheers
Luke
