This is our new monthly meet for members only, and is in addition to our monthly meets at Bradmoor Farm. We meet in the evening, at The Seven Stars pub, Dinton, and have a different speaker or activity each time. At our first meet we welcomed Ashley from ADT Detailing to talk to us and it was a very informative evening. Write up below.
We are very much looking forward to the next event, when the speaker will be Graham Birks, of Birks Motorworks in Thame.
If you would like to attend Classic Cars at The Seven Stars, you need to be a paid up Haddenham Classics member. You can join here.
We look forward to seeing you at a future event.
Classic Cars at the Seven Stars – ADT Detailing
by Martin Watson
Our first Classic Cars at The Seven Stars meet took place on 14 January. Those of you that missed it, missed a real treat. The 17 Haddenham Classics members who squeezed into the cosy snug at The Seven Stars pub enjoyed a light-hearted and informative couple of hours.
Other than the opportunity for like-minded souls to gather together for a pint, we were treated to an interesting and educational talk from Ashley Todd of ADT Detailing https://adtdetailing.co.uk/ covering the key aspects of this important discipline. Ashley concentrated, rightly, on his particular areas of detailing expertise – paintwork, protective films and upholstery, although his knowledge, and wider contact base, extends far beyond this. What may have appeared at first glance a seemingly narrow topic, turned out to be a very broad one, and Ashley was extremely well informed about all aspects of it.
Members had the opportunity to quiz Ashley on a wide range of matters particularly pertinent to their own vehicles and experiences, which Ashley fielded without fear or favour – or any hard sell for his services. And as much as there were recommendations and guidance in respect of methodology, this was interspersed with a number of cautionary don’ts!
Many thanks to Ashley for his detailed explanations and sharing his comprehensive knowledge of the subject.
