Triumph Show & Spares Day 2007

[triumphdolomiteuk]

IS the show still on

Why wouldn't it be? I spoke to the organiser last night and he certainly didn't see any cause for concern over a few flakes of snow .

By the way, we now have four cars lined up for the display .


EDIT; I've again spoken to them, the show will definately be going ahead.

The snow must go on!

Its wet snow falling now; be all gone by Sunday; rain forecast, I may just stay in the car!

[Purplebargeken]

I'll be going up in Big White Volvo which sneers at this feeble display of british snow. Mind you it's also pretty good at flattening speed bumps, especially with me in it

See you all there.

[Dollyboy]

im going too, with mr speedy. apparently he'll be worth mugging...

also tried to get an order from rimmers delivered there, thought closing day was today, or it was according to the guy i spoke to a few days ago, but no, was cut of yesterday apparently...

"hello left hand, mr right hand here, what are you doing??"

"sorry, I have absolutely no idea. derrr"

[xvivalve]

he'll be worth mugging...

...they're only worth mugging if they fight back; bit of spirit, bit of sport...better still if they have a bunch of mates with them that you haven't spotted

[xvivalve]

...I'll be OK though 'cos my Mum is coming with me

[Lewis]

Gonna be horrible weather out there tomorrow I think. Everyone drive carefully!

Going to be a wet feet drive for me I think.....

[Purplebargeken]

Ok, tons of regalia stuff all ready to roll. I'll be the short grey haired, goatee wearing fat bloke by the regalia bit on the TDC stand

I expect people milling around the stand to purchase at LEAST one bit of regalia - you know it makes sense.

To all who are travelling to the event - safe journey and see ya there

Absolute pleasure to meet everyone (those who I managed to get introduced to or introduce myself to anyway, apologies to those who I didn't to meet!)

Many thanks Andy for the carpets and likewise to Toledoman for your grilles! Should look the part the pair of them. Will be nice to have something to put my feet on and not be deafened by!

Really nice club stand this year too, especially with the projector showing slides. Cool to see the 1300s on the stand too, instantly started my Dad off about his again

Hope everyone else enjoyed the show, found it most enjoyable and managed to pick up some bits that I needed which is always gratifying.

Also now a club member.

Will buy some regalia soon Ken, no doubt about that!

[1300dolly]

that was a good show with the 1300s taking pride of place. good to see quite a few new faces.
see ya all march 11th.

and a big thanks to the heros in big white volvo for recueing me.and to MalgE,for the favour. cheers guys (and ladies)

[mbellinger]

Amid much fanfare, Andy managed to make an honest member out of you at last Lewis. Well done, and good to meet you at last.

Really nice to see all you guys again, especially Reg, who I don't think I've spoken to since TDCIR 2005 at Himley.

Well done for an excellent stand. It was genuinely refreshing to see the emphasis on the entire range of Dolly's rather than just the Sprint. The two 1300's looked really good "bookending" the stand (love the period roof rack Nathan), with Matt Cotton's simply superb 1500 in the centre, alongside the very smart vermillion Sprint.

The atmosphere on the stand was really good as well with a real "team" feel. Nice that so many people were involved and pitched in - my goodness I even got roped into the clearing up!

I thought the show itself was a bit quieter than last year personally. There just didn't seem so many people about - especially in Hall 2. Still, I had a good day. I got the brake shoes for the 1300 I had wanted, and had a decent journey both ways, and got in free. (Shhh!)

[xvivalve]

Another excellent meet; I even caught a bit of unexpected sun this morning.

Many old friends came to say hello, and some new ones too. Good to meet Tony Sprinter (what an apt surname ) and Lewis (briefly before distraction) and a good chat with another kindred spirit too...Oxdonian! (he currently has four more dolomites than me and his are all Sprints!)

Susie tells me the Club stand had a good day too, 7 new members and various renewals.

Those sunstrips are the cats ass Ken; put me down for one...I just need to chose the colour!

[TONYSPRINTER]

yes good day out as this was my 1st but not last show joined the club so fully paid up member now.
nice to put a face to people i met ie Alun, Reg,Malc but to name a few and to see a few guys i have met allready
stand looked very good with the picture show background and susie smiling away getting the chaps to join the club.
very well done to all involved see you at the next 1 Tonysprinter.

[Mike Groom]

My congratulations to all. It was an excellent start to the year with some good cars on the stand and was very well co-ordinated, even though I know that there was a last minute challenge. It was good to see some new members and catch up with some old ones. Dave, I'll make sure I get some shots of one of your cars on the next display! We were also visited by a Badly Drawn Boy lookalike, but without the piano car. I hope everyone got home OK and that Matt has managed to remove all the salt from his 1500! It was probably a little quieter than previous years as some traders were quite generic and the fact that many traders are equally accessible via the internet. Now we need to start arranging the restoration show!
