Its looking tight to get mine through the IVA and registered in 10 weeks. I'd feel more confident if the DVLA and the Ministry could actually process paperwork :rolleyes:

***10 weeks***

Oh no, and we have so much to do......:o

All the best for tomorrow Ash, we all have our fingers crossed - i'm sure everything will be okay. After seeing the last pic of your at Exeter show it does look fantastic. Mine used to look like that but after 4000 miles it doesn't anymore - must get it all cleaned up for the Spring.

If you need a hand with anything Mark just give a shout, it is not a problem, just to see you get through IVA would be satisfying enough.

Just putting Handys poly bushes in this afternoon and setting up his suspension. Tomorrow his electrics will be done and car running, he's getting there to.

Regards.....AndyH

Thanks for the offer mate i will keep it in mind :)

Good to hear handy is making some good progress, i may pop in to see you this afternoon when i finish work and bring your rivnut tool back with its new mandrel :o i broke yours aswell as mine :o

The replacement part only cost £3 delivered so not bad, i was only using it by hand too. The guy at cheapest rivnuts said i must have hand like a gorrilla :D

Then everyone will do it themselves instead of buying it from us.....:eek: Only joking. No problem anybody coming along at any time, there's always plenty going on - as the 12 hour days would suggest...:(

We've talked about when the warm weather comes is every other Saturday to have a bbq morning open day where local builders can come along or bring their cars along, have a blast out and some fun and food.

Cheers...AndyH

I would really like to attend this year, missed last year's show. Is camping allowed? I've got a nice big tin tent to live in:D . Very doubtful that my Dragon will be anywhere near done and I'm not inclined to trailer a part built car there:confused: .

Davey,
yes you are ok to camp at stoneleigh, in fact all the Roadster builders would be camped together, it makes it a good social event too, few beers, a few sausage butties etc,
its well worth staying the weekend, lots to see & lots of chat with other builders.

cheers
