A superlative effort chaps; well done!

One bit of constructive suggestion, with the curtain behind Ken's, as it is centrestage on the day, with the changing light incidental onto something like shot silk of lighter colour a real 3D light display might have been achieved...

Congratulations.

Awesome work on the stand guys, looks absolutely amazing.

Really sorry I didn't manage to get any drip trays, this is what was keeping me busy, 9 weeks before I anticipated it...

I had double vision recently too; a trip to the optician soon cured that!

just got home (9:00 PM Sunday), shattered, but elated!

Thank you to everyone, a list that is incredibly long, that has made the Classic Motorshow such a stunning success for the Triumph Dolomite Club.

More to follow tomorrow, but I urgently need a reviving cup of Tea!

:lol: I heard you the first time.

Well done on the happy event, and the small, newly born people. A good show for the rest of you, but an even better family thing for miniman. :D

Congrats James, we'l let you off the drip trays :lol: :lol:

Just wanted to say a Huge thank you from all of the Coventry group to everyone who came along to support the club, to help out, bring a car or just stop by to say hello and have a cuppa!!

I can say with pride that this must of been one of the most successful events that the club have ever done, 9 new members, hundreds of £s worth of regalia cleared, at least 30 membership forms handed out (thanks Roger!!) but most off all we got loads of publicity, Practical classic, Triumph world an classic car weekly all came by and photographed the stand, hundreds of people stopping to ask questions about the club or the cars........

A personal Thank you from the Coventry group to Mikey B, Mike Miller, Pete Morris, Ken Osbourne and Bill shankland for the use of there cars over the last 3 days, Roger for coming along and working on the stand for what seemed all day but was only meant to do a few hours, and to everyone else who gave up there time to come and work the stand!!

Ill let the photos do the talking now!!....

I think he'd happily buy it if I wanted to sell it ;) He seemed pretty chuffed to hear that it's still alive.
