no sadly not i wanted to see the owner and find out a bit more. the woodwork still smelt pretty recent. :-)
mine was the blue gtm spyder, tucked at the back under a tree!
have you been sniffing my car?  haha. Most of that wood was some nice tongue and groove I ripped out of a bathroom.
Was nice to meet you, Valtra 
I tried to wear my locostbuilders tshirt but the other half has moved it somewhere so couldn't find it in time

Also great to meet you Benzine. Hopefully I'll get my f27 there next month as well as my locosters t shirt
Also had a gander at Swanny's GTM very nice. and Claire's MX5 v6 was also there but didn't catch the pilot . though could have been
hiding behind that huge tacho

Oh yes the other project is now progressing quite well tango was away having some associated work done so had the whole garage to play in for a
fortnight. Should be ata point where walls are up soon. You've got my no. Give me a bell if you want to pop over for a brew. I'm even
closer now as we've moved to Thorpe park so no fighting through town anymore.
Back in thread I'm going to try and get across to the next foleville meet, but will be a bit late as daughter has asked me to take her to her
primary schoolwork in tango and that's on the same night.

Another good one yesterday evening, Glad I went on the push-bike, made it a lot easier getting in and out of the place.
Nice job varnishing the woodwork Benzine, looks much better.

Got there at half five due to traffic ended up parked way up the other field. Great turn out though.

Hehe thanks! It was primarily for performance, the smoothness of the varnish has improved airflow over the wood no end
It was cracking weather, I'm glad I got a shady spot! I've never seen it so busy, took ages to leave.

should be there tomorrow, though doubt i'll be early enough to get on the show field.
Went to another similar night last week at the griffin pub in Papplewick Notts. Lots of interesting stuff there too. worth a look.

I think you are better off in the other field, it makes getting out without running over someone that bit easier
I keep meaning to go to Papplewick, which days is it on and what is the entry fee?

its the first and third wednesday of the month apparently. 6:30 onwards. last time was the busiest the regulars had seen it in ages but still a later
start than ashby. show ground was pretty much full when i arrived at 7:15. big marquee in case it rains with beer and food served in there too.
couple of little rides for kids. show ground maybe slightly smaller than ashby, very few bikes just cars.
by the way, theres an Amercian car night this thursday at Hooters in Nottingham

As I am reading this I am at work with coffee in hand, the sky is cloudy and its windy, wish I was there
Unfortunately I can not make Thursday as I have other arrangements. Should be interesting but is the car park at Hooters big enough, American cars are
not exactly small.

a good night last night, not as busy as last month - i think the downpour we had at about 4 would have scared a few off. arrived at about half five
and got on the show field, in glorious sunshine. good night.

It was a hell of a thing, very Mad Max. How on earth is passed an IVA, assuming it was built after the introduction of IVA. I admire the work and
thought that went into it but not really my sort of thing.

Is it anybody's sort of thing?? Looks like it was made for an episode of Dr. Who - or possibly Blake's Seven( ).
Saw this at Stoneleigh, a few years ago, but didn't catch the driver/owner. Presume he was lying low somewhere. Your comments re IVA test
requirements were much same as my reaction - "How the hell.......??". He appears to have added enough trim to deal with those sharp edges.
But what on earth, (or anywhere else, for that matter), inspired the bodywork style( ).
You have to admire the amount of work gone into it.
