I really wanted to go to show off the car but the forecast put me off 
I was there last year and the weather was brilliant.
This is why I didn't go in the rain:

I was there on Saturday too, during the heavy rain/thunder.
Luckily was in doors at the time.
Got bonnet clips, number plate light and two mirrors that are SVA compatable, but got them home and cant find any signs of E marks.

No E marks required on the mirrors as long as they have the correct radius and surface area.
As for the number plate light, I don't think it is part of SVA, but I am not sure.
I think even none E marked lights will pass (except head and fog) if they work correctly and provide the right light levels, so don't panic!

Yeah the lamp is E marked but im ok with that, i always shop around when im there. The mirrors were what i was worried about so thank F**k for that.
I cant complain they where only £12 from Car Builders Solutions.
The bonnet catches where £14 per pair from Lolocost/Robin Hood and the lamp was from the guy that has lots of Rover stuff in the second hall, same
place i brought my wiper set from last year.

i got there at 9:30, waited around watching the cars coming in until 10.
like others said - 9 quid to get in per adult - a bit pricey.
that and there was not many stands there..
CBS was there as always - good bargins.
prob will not go there next year...

I went down friday afternoon to help set-up the JPSCC club area , 4 1/2 hours to go just 158 miles........b***dy roadworks on the M` and
M25.....
Got rained on , hailed on , nearly blown away by the wind and frozen ......but I did come home (another 4 1/2 hour trip....) with a car load of stuff
to finish my fury
And I had a good look/chat/drool over the Epona.......

Yeah i avoided the M1 & M25 last week when i went to Coventry.
Wasnt a bad trip down yesterday from 4 of M25, had to detour back up the M2 as there had bee a smash just past the exit of the carpark yesterday.
I found it the same as last year, (which wasnt that good in my opinion) but went as was hoping of getting some bits.
I saw an example of a spare wheel carrier so will be making mine differently.

Well, I enjoyed it.
Bought four polishing mops, that would have cost me twice as much on eBay. (Please note Melvin.  )
Had a chat with several Locosters that I haven't seen for a while, and quite a few that I've never met before.
Got my first gander at the Epona chassis, and may I say what a fine piece of engineering it is.
The quality of the welding was superb. Well done Aeon.
I know the weather tried to spoil the day but it didn't spoil mine.
A grand day out.

We went! Weather was fine, standing around in the hall thinking about ambling back to the car park (why cant everyone park a bit closer!) when there
was the familiar rattle on the roof. Looked outside and had another wander round.
CBS have got some rather nice 4" headlights I might have to go and get
