Hi Craig, Yes please - that would be excellent.

Thanks very much.

Hi, Alan,

Are you planning to have your car in position on Friday or Saturday?

alanmoss · Post by **alanmoss** » Tue Mar 25, 2008 22:46

Hi Rojo
Probably Friday, I will be going over anyway. If you want to come on Saturday instead please remember must be in by 9am.
See you soon.

Looks like my best mate is going to be there with CG Lock... if you get the chance pop in and say hello to Martin Rider...
Incidently i am using CG Locks in my Excel (where a bit of a pig to fit but...) made a fantastic improvement to the holding of my arse in the seats, making corners much more enjoyable...
Highly recomended!!! feels like wearing a harniss without being stuck inplace, and a bargin

did i mention how good they are?

also the wife thinks they are great and feels much safer in the car (8 3/4 months pregnant)

Oz.

I can be there on Friday PM. If you are going to be there and you need any help setting up just let me know what time!

Cheers, Roger

Fingers crossed.

However I did reseal the sunroof when I did the headlining.

Three cars in position, banner up, display panels installed and balloons ready. Thanks to Chris, Roger and Dan for their help today.
We are in the middle of the hall, behind the Carltons/Omegas who are where we were last year. Looking forward to seeing everyone.
340R and friends from Germany have already arrived. Good to see them again.
We have some stickers available - Excel 25 years and the website ones - should you wish to purchase at the special price of £2 each.

Hope to see many tomorrow.
Still some stickers for sale and we have balloons!
Thanks to Chris, Craig, Roger and Phil (and the girls) for the stand today.
