Undercover Mission - Infiltrate the 75 & ZT club..

The key to any successful mission is to ensure you have the correct equipment:
Tweed, Flat Cap, Pipe, Flask are all key components today...



I chose to take TWO travel rugs, You can't have too much tartan in these situations

Special attention was made to the correct attire, note the elbow patches...



And the comfy driving shoes...With Special reinforced heel...And special 'driving sole'...



Once the correct attire is in place, you would never guess that I was not "One of them"...



I think my special helper / partner in crime may need some more work convincing them though...



Time to get underway, we make our way to the rendezvous point at a steady 26,7 MPH...



With a choice of 'Classic FM' and 'Radio 4' playing, we're building up a nice long line of traffic behind us...Shall we leave the left indicator flashing just to be on the safe side?



Once at the rendezvous point, I effortlessly mingle with the gathering crowd...There's a strong smell of "Werthers Originals" in the air...



After discussing the benefits of 2 stroke oil as a fuel pump lubricant and admiring LOTS of Walnut...



its time for a half of mild and to collect the fruits of a successful mission...





Quick, I think my partner's cover has been rumbled - time to make a hasty retreat in our chosen undercover chariot...



We were a bit apprehensive of meeting with the 'Old boys', but we had a great afternoon. I'm proud to be a member. :hugs:

I see that your box brownie was deep undercover then. :lol:

They let me join without any fuss, perhaps it was because I was up front and told the truth and had some Worthers to hand!! :whistle:

Did you seen mg lifestyle ? They have a verrrrry nice grey ztt I've been watching their progress on facebook they know a thing it two about MGs too. They are the outfit that can do kv6 transplants into mgf/tf. They seem to be doing OK and nowjhave xpart accreditation so I think I may pay them a visit one day or we could attempt a run out to have a nosy about ?

:oops:
Photo's now working

You had me utterly convinced until I noticed the stud earring.


Here's hoping their eyesight was poorer than mine. :dry:

Nice one Rich! :broon:

Your cover was compromised by not having a little round tin of glucose
powder-covered travel sweets and by not displaying an "I've seen the Lions of Longleat" sticker in the rear window. A tartan flask accessorised with foil-wrapped egg sandwiches may have been more appropriate too.

The shoes were spot-on, but could have been augmented by string-back driving gloves and clip-on sunglasses on the specs. With an Elastoplast repair.

The devil's in the detail..... :yesnod:

I had a "moaners club" car in my works car park about a fortnight ago , a gold 75 tourer , anyone you know been to the lakes recently ?

Hearing aid battery?

I've posted this same story on the 75 & ZT forums...I've had messages to say they enjoyed the laugh and I should send it to Clarkson!

Soooooo much tartan!!!

What that really needs is some stickers, and more lights.
