4 weekends away... Any updates or logistical issues we need to address? Meet at the venue or somewhere outside? Should I bring a gazebo as well as the poster boards?

Hi Chris, no real issues to worry about, we just need to be there by 10am at the latest. I should arrive about 9:30 and help set up. Meet on site is perhaps best due to the location.

Thanks re the gazzebo, that would be great if you can bring one along.

We still have space for another 5 cars if anyone else can make it.

I will PM my mobile number to those who have already said they are attending.
I used to be indecisive..........
but I'm not sure anymore.

Great Photos Guys, Thank you very much.

After seeing all the different marques, I still think the Excel stands out as special. (bias)?

Shame about the wind today as we couldn't get the display boards to stay put, but overall, very enjoyable.

Certainly good to associate a face to a name on this forum. :D Next up?

I was meant to be attending with Fleet-Loc from Seloc, but in the end never made it down due to a family trip coming up...

Yep, great to meet Garry and Guy and Martin again. Lovely photos. I couldn't believe it when Garry polished his car and the rain clouds gathered :roll: but the weather was good to us after all. :D

Great pictures guys! Thanks for sharing.

All the Excels look superb.

The F40 replica, LOL, more like porr pastiche, is probably based on a Pontiac Fiero.

What I think is impressive about Emmerg's car is how low the windscreen wiper parks...<envy>
