The 'E' Type Forum

This is Nick Masons house



This is me parked on his lawn, with a few others



And this is me with the great man.



Thought you might like to see a couple of his favourite cars as well.

Well done, good to meet the great man.

And I got to play with his dog!

All that for just banging a drum!

That's what I said.
It was a great run around Wiltshire on the Rotary Club Classic Car Run organised by the Chippenham Rotary Club raising money for the Bobby Van Trust and local charities.
12 E Types amongst the 97 entrants.

Yep, me too! The black Lab

Woah it's not just the mansion that looks stunning but so as these cars.

No sign of his most famous car - the 250 GTO ?

Not that day, but he’s holding an open day on 26th/27th June where you can view all

I have got tickets to go see Pink Floyd live in concert in November!

Given that the tickets only cost £20 and the venue is a village hall in Hampshire, I fear they may not be the Pink Floyd.......

Where is that being held? I wouldn't mind seeing that. I saw the Australian Pink Floyd, and they were pretty good

We could slightly freak them out by parking a fleet of E-types outside.....

Not sure about E Type in late November for an hours drive home at night...

Malcolm : I bought my 1st E type on a December afternoon in of all places Aberdeen . Leaving about 330pm, ( I had flown up that morning ) it was already going dark, and by Dundee the snow was falling and a howling gale was developing , and I drove it home the near 500 miles to Cheshire !

Get those tickets bought and the car keys in your hands !

PS It was this experience which convinced me of the superb qualities of the E, because despite perhaps 6 inches of snow and strong crosswinds, even with my inexperience with the car, I never had an anxious moment

Generally speaking it's inadvisable to drive - or attempt pretty much anything else - after immersing yourself in The Floyd for a couple of hours.....

Hoping to see Nick playing next April:

But in the meantime have also got tickets for Australian Pink Floyd and Think Floyd. Both excellent and well worth seeing if you like Floyd's music.

I dunno - I was really drunk at the time....

Just watching Delicate Sound of Thunder on Sky Arts with a large single malt and tears in my eyes!! Epic stuff!

Were you crying because the single malt wasn't very good?
