Went on Sunday and as promised wore a bright yellow polo shirt and not one person said hello, did get plenty of looks though.

Much better than Donny.

What time of day was it when you took that photo?

Meant to add a smiley at the end of it I didn't make it over to the pitch until about 15:00 today, only flew into Heathrow at 11.00, by the time I got my bags, got the hire car, battled the M40 I arrived about 14:30. My first kit car show and there was some stunning machinery on display. Just a pity I couldn't have been earlier to meet some folk. Anyway it was a bonus to make it at all as I'm down here with work.

Had a great day on Sunday, went mainly for items for the Cobra this year but did get a few bits and bobs fore the roadster. Got an inlet manifold, Edelbrock carb and a big chrome filter for the rover V8 posted to home for £620 which I thought was a bargain as the cheapest I have found on the internet was £820 plus postage.

I went on Sunday - but had forgotten what colour T-s to look out for!

First kit car show I'd been to - interesting stuff there and I found it helpful to get a really close up look at how people have put their cars together - I came back with about 60 photos - hardly any of them actually showing a complete car - mostly closeups of rivets, fixings and cable routing!!!

Plenty of enthusiasm regained - and I am now far less concerned about some of the issues of fine accuracy that had been troubling me - some of the panel gaps I saw were massive when you got close up - but the cars looked fine from a few feet away!

Still can't believe the replica Porsche 917 in the main hall - fantastic idea though - although probably best focus on the Roadster for now! The Porsche 550 spyders looks excellent too...
