Every where you looked more model traction engines (and a steam car  )

And a few pics of the steam crane

You do get a good turnout for Amberley and nice that most things are running unlike the usual Model Engineering Exhibitions.

Did the Minx behave herself?

Thanks Guys, We had fun and I learnt a lot

All the other Sat nav I have had when you turn the Nav on you can continue to the previous place or if you enter a new place it takes you there instead ... This one if it has not gone to exactly where it thinks it should have gone on its last trip it keeps trying to direct you there before any new locations... so you think you have told it we are going home but until you physically cancel the previous location it still wants to go there before you can go to the newly entered place And then there is the voice control stuff: What are people going to think of me if they catch me talking to the Minx  



The other fun thing is that as you put the roof up she automatically lowers the windows but does not raise them again after the roof is clamped in place. Of course unless the engine is running you have no windows control so you can't raise them again without starting the engine
