Nurse Mariann appeared at the back door. “What's that” she barked. “That is an NSU” I replied. ”Does 140.”
It suddenly dawned on me, I had caught a disease. Does 140.
Vero International Festival of Motoring
Most of you will know that the Vero Festival of Historic Motoring will now be held in 2022.
The dates are Jan 16 to 21st 2022
The organising Committee has sent out to all VCC members by email a request for your expression of interest. . PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU RESPOND to this if you are considering going. Events like this have significant budgets to manage and some of you will recall the last International Rally suffered significant losses. Whatever your view on that result, learnings have been taken and you will have read in the latest Beaded Wheels that the Management Committee will NOT accept the event running at a loss. To that effect they are looking for some surety that entrant numbers will be sufficient to make the event viable. It will not be a firm commitment and I do urge you to respond. If there is insufficient interest, there is a possibility the event won’t go ahead. This is an event not to miss, a shorter period than previous International Rallies, in an area with some great motoring and the time of year hopefully means plenty of sunshine. So, get your mates together, decide what vehicle you’re taking and plan to be there.
