The roads were a bit damp and I caught a bit of brown spray but it soon wiped away.
As I pulled up to the hall doors at the NEC it started raining, so I was lucky.
I did take the washing kit with me though just in case.

Manufactured news .. sells papers !

He is a nice chap, despite bad press about 25 years ago, which threatened to finish him off. I guess having such a high profile does expose you to having all your dirty washing aired in public, doesn't it? Not sure what he got up to, but you don't always have to do a lot to get bad press, trouble i...

It all looked very, very professional. The cars were well chosen and looked like new cars. Nice. Thanks Brad.

Such a shame that a few idiots can ruin something that was a great event (and no doubt a money earner for village businesses) It was a great friendly meet, in the show ground and the pub everybody enjoying themselves and talking cars and bikes. The problems were out in the street. More about them h...

I must admit I did catch an article mentioning a MK1 Red Rover saloon doing donuts in the car park....

Your'e more likely to catch me eating them than performing them

I was going to mention the next car meet at Ashby Folville, but I came across a notice on the Web and it appears that the event has been cancelled. Possible victim of its own success, anti social behaviour is mentioned. A shame, but I'm not surprised. No more pics. :( Info here; http://www.ashbyfolv...

Nice pics Gaz,
and some nice cars, don't see many SD1 estates about, is that a one off ?

Haynes also produce manuals for aircraft inc the Hawker Hurricane, Spitfire and Lancaster Bomber.

...the project ran over 10 months from Feb - Nov 96, I've just looked in my archive and actually, this project ran through to the first issue of 1997. There were a few unexpected problems towards the end of the project that pushed the final installment back. It featured in all issues between Februa...
