Thanks for telling us.
Sat here waiting at 34, I've been surrounded by classics. The best being a mint Integrale.
See you there smile

What a great day! Sorry you couldn't make it, Joe.
Thanks for letting us know about it, Toby. It was great to see you again Toby, and Mrs G, Arm and Boosted7.
Glad your Stag decided to play and allow you to get to the show eventually,Arm. Where are you now? Immobilised at a petrol station on the M4? Hope not.
The Gripped scones, jam and cream were lush. Thanks.

On leaving the show, the number of Coupes I saw today doubled. There was an Inky T plate n/a by the top of gate 2, and Jacky was just leaving the car park in her lovely Electric blue plus. I shouted 'Coupe!' and stopped my car near to hers.
Fortunately, she worked out I was harmless and we had a good chat. She said she prefers her R plate that your restoring, Joe, to her Plus and is looking forward to getting it back.
She's also had a 3 litre GTV in the past. What a Lady smile.
Car of the show ( apart from the Coupes and the Stag), was a blinding TVR Sagaris. Also the Stratos.
There's a pic of the TVR HERE , along with some of my Alfa HERE
(That's sounding even better after the trip, I reckon I've cleared a few more cells out in the Cat. 180 mile round trip, and I still sat in the car listening to the engine when I got home!
The best pic I have in my head, was the view in my rear view mirror of Jacky's Plus seen through my rear spoiler as she closed me down on the way back home.'Triffic cool
I've just had another vision - your beer barrel Toby. Bloody brilliant. Is there any left now? drink smile

Good to see you Huw,

It was actually Alan's beer. I sneaked a little cup while he wasn't looking.

The cream scones were my favourite !

Your Alfa looks good. I've ALWAYS wanted an Alfa V6 since I went in a 75 Cloverleaf in 1996.

Right... where's ebay?

Anyway, it was a great day out. Weather warmer than last year. Even had to slap on the sun lotion to prevent my neck burning. Will post some pics on the FCCUK Facebook site.

A great weekend hosted by Mr & Mrs Gripped.

After a glorious day touring the Brecon Beacons on Saturday, the Stag was so tired it needed some attention before it would wake up the next day. After some emergency re-wiring and general wire wiggling, the immobilizer appears now to be working again. smile

At the show the Coupes received as much/more attention than the older classic alongside.

Great scenery, hospitality, food & drink and company!

Some photos

For most attention at a show, it appears what is required is a double-ended Coupe like the Rover parked behind the Stag. Over to Joe...
