James, I will try and get there early to help you set up as I am close by but if it is raining I might ask for a parking space in the marquee....only joking. I am sure I can cope with a small shower.

Thanks Gary, I'm looking forward to seeing your car!

Unfortunately I will be early as well, going from East to West London is best done in the early hours.

I won't be able to make it. The 1850's respray has left me skint and once the painting has been done we need to put everything back on that was taken off.

Fabulous day out, many thanks to James for organising.

I believe that over 50 cars attended, with all models, and everything from daily drivers to show cars.

I hope pics will follow, as it's the one thing I failed to get!

Good to hear it was a good day! Next year I might well make sure I have an MOT sorted out well in advance and attend, rather than being sat at home being taunted by reminders of the event popping up on my phone.

It was good to meet you guys and chat about the cars. Obviously couldn't get round to all but thanks for the interest in my Robin Hood and of course to James for organising the event.

A huge thanks to everyone who came along for the day. It seems the event was a huge success, I counted about 65 cars at one point!

I had a great time and it was a real pleasure to organise.

Hope to see you all at the NEC later on the year!

Mary & I enjoyed the day very much. It was good to catch up with old friends and meet new ones. Thanks for organising it James. Image
