Lovely pictures there Mark...... Sad pictures from Guy :cry:

Never the less, it was a good show... Sorry I didn't get around to say hi to everyone - but there's only so much hovering in the back ground one can do with a 6 year old in tow :oops: However it was great to see Guy again (thanks mate, it looks gorgeous 8) ) a pleasure to be hunted down by Dave.... who even had the good grace to like my 'used' engine bay :mrgreen:

And finally an apology to Grim...... I promise NOT to ask you any work / rover / technical questions within minutes of saying hi........ It was very rude of me.... But thankyou :oops: :lol: I must owe you at least a pint by now :wink:

All in all a nice day out.
