It's been an epic morning chatting, we haven't stopped giving out club cards and discussing the vehicles on our stand, we should be seeing some new owners joining over thr next few weeks and some past owners buying again as the general feedback seems to be "yes sold mine and regret it" laugh
I'm finally sitting down for a coffee while there's a quiet spell.

We've had one new club member already today Joe following his visit yesterday.


16VT and X1/9 1500

We must all do our part for the planet.
I unplugged a row of electric cars that nobody was using.

Thanks to the club members - you know who you are! - who took the time to hang around the stand to day and help us talk to the visitors. Thanks also for all the vouchers returned to us!

It's been a busy old day... and I found rather a nice looking Ferrari I have half an eye on, to go with the Merc - complete with personalised number plate already on it - that Anita found.

I'm exhausted but still buzzing after such an awesome day laugh

Running the stand with only three people was very testing today, chatted with people from 9am until 3pm this afternoon before I took a break, tomorrow is predicted to be even busy so I'm looking forward to have Pete and Dave back to help smile

Thanks to everyone who popped in to say hello, the club has some really passionate members who love talking Coupé thumb

Was a great day. Fantastic to see the pristine chrono, and the "patina" of the 16valvers. It certainly drew in the punters. Looking forward to seeing the next rebuild project.

Nice to meet more VIS owners. We now know it stands for Very Impressive Statistics. Must remember to try different 97 Ron fuels.

There certainly is a lot of love for our Coupes. I posted on FB and will try to put some pics on here later. Hope you all have a great day and get to take a look around for yourselves! smile

No afraid not, we were so busy Saturday we didn't get any further work done on the demo car and Sunday we were chilled and enjoying the show so what I've captured is it Phil.

It was great to see the Fiat coupe stand yesterday, Dave, Frank and Neil car’s looked superb and obviously created a lot of interest with people drawling all over them. Well done to everyone that took part.
