I'm bringing a proper screen, but Marcus' banner would be good - and pin board if you can fit it in, please. I have a plan...

I forgot to mention - the usual request for flasks of hot water, please.

We'll have tea, coffee, milk etc. - but no source of energetic H2O

Had to abandon the show early myself, so I'm sitting in a hotel in Glasgow feeling guilty about leaving the stand crew to clear up without me.

Huge THANK YOU to Phil, Pete, Jason, Stu, Brian and Isabel for all their hard work this weekend. And also thanks to everyone who visited to keep us busy.

Looks like a great show again, really sorry I couldn’t make it this time. Good to see a dismantled engine on a stand, reminds me of two years ago when mine was like that!

Want a cheap Ferrari Testarossa? 20 to 25k at the auction would get you this.
