Well, how was it?
I could make a list of excuses to why I did not go stoneleigh including being hung over, and not wanting to drive 5 hours round trip.
So make me jealous. Put some pics up of the cars you liked and give your review of the show.

Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!

Well we had a really good day mate but not got many pics and the exhibitors were a bit on the light side but the clubs and private cars soon made up
or it.
I counted over 200 westflelds and over 100 cobra replicas.
Lots of mk's and locosts around too.
Was a good day and I certainly enjoyed the spirited drive home!!
Regards Chris

This was my first kit car show and i loved it, it has giving me real itchy feet to get one! Especially after having my first experience in a locost 7
and what an experience it was!
Mark (dont know if hes a member or not) too me out in his 220bhp C20XE MK Locost and well i have whiplash lol! I have been in touch with him this last
week about buying it and i must say i am tempted it is quite a machine!

Was my first show and really enjoyed it. Picked up a few useful bits for not very much and some other bits I had ordered. Spent a long time chatting
to couple guys on the rhocar stand. Was there a locostbuilders stand? If so i missed it

Likewise Sir, Good crack
Feeling shabby right now, must of been the crisps..or the bottle of Magners I drank before breakfast, rather than carry it all day.

Disapointing
Wore my Locostbuilders T shirt but never saw another member, and where were all the autojumbles ?
Far too many tool stalls and £1.80 for a brew was extracting the urine

Agree on the tea price, but that's standard at these type of event in my experience.
I thought the stalls were generally good, though the massive tool stand taking over the entire centre area was excessive. Did me well though providing
me with the exact size exhaust mountbi needed and had been unable to find for just £2.00 and an online fuel filter for a £1.00!

No bar in the hall last night, £2.50 for a can of Carling
Still ended up roll over drunk
428 mile return trip for me, 72L petrol.... = 26.75mpg....
Real washout today compared to yesterday where there was about 200 westies, 300,000 Robin Hoods and even a god 80 odd Cateringvans. Loads of Cobras
and various makes in good attendance, no doubt the sun helped.
Heres some pics I took during the weekend....
Regular attender..
Yum yum...
North East crew in self preservation (dry) mode...
And, just how mad to have to be???
Hmmm...

"Are you sure those pictures weren't from last year? Or the year before? It's difficult to tell.... Chris "
I saw more interesting stuff 10 years ago than some of this twaddle!
But i did meet up with my old m8 Hicost, and also met Russ with the Formula 1 look alike
i was there by 0930 straight off a nightshift, and home by 1615. and its a 2.5 hour drive each way
twas a poor show, but in defence of the organisers, the weather was shite, and that must put off 90% of possibly entrants

Stoneleigh - 4 minute MEV Exocet build
I thought MEV's challenge to build an Exocet in under 4 minutes was pretty funny. Totally pointless as the MX5 had been prepared for the body to
be lifted off before hand, but entertaining all the same. 
Don't think we can put videos up on the forum but anyway, a link to it's here:

Enjoy
