anyone going to be on the Luego pitch today?
Parked my car on the Luego pitch at Stoneleigh today (Monday) and I'm the only one here. Anyone else coming?

Had a good look around the show and then decided to head back as there was still no one else on the pitch. I guess due to the impending band of rain
that was due to come through.
I quite often have a problem making the Sunday, and Monday always seems quieter with few if, anyone, on the Luego pitch. I'm thinking that I
might latch onto a more general car club pitch next year with more potential for there to be more people (unless its blazing sunshine, in which case
the Luego pitch might be more populated).
I thought that there were less exhibitors this year, although some really nice cars to be tempted with. I'm going to need a bigger garage, but
I need to finish my MG TC project before I buy anything else. The Ultima pitch (also) had a couple of particularly interesting models on display 
Picked up a few garage consumables and had a good blat there and back so still a worthwhile half day out.

Sorry that I missed you.
If there had been more people around then I would have stayed until after the rain as there was only one band of it that was due to pass quite
quickly. I even brought my waterproof car cover. However, as I didn't see anyone I did a dash back home before it arrived. Sunday seems like by
far the most popular day regardless of the weather, but as other threads have suggested Stoneleigh seems to be turning into a shadow of its former
self (at least on Mondays).
I found out last year that there are actually quite a lot of smaller car events around (classic cars, country fairs with a car section etc) that kits
are welcome to attend. I'll keep my eyes open and point them out on here in case if the weather is looking good.

I was all set to go but I didn't quite have the courage to drive the 100mile there after my recent overheat. Did 50 local miles instead and
everything seems fine. Then took my boy to the zoo.
Been looking at local car shows etc and I am going to try and attend more. Sad that the Luego area was empty. Without backup from Luego the marque
will disappear. They don't seem bothered.

Let me know if you see any that look good and if I'm available and the weather is nice I'll make my way across. Its a pity that Newark
show went to the wall just as you were getting to the end of your build as that would have been just around for corner for you.
