Default Exeter 2010, a big thank you.

Hi Guys,

This is just to say a big thank you to a few people who helped out at the show this year.

Firstly a massive thank you to Gus for bringing his car down, as those of you who came can justify, pictures don't do this car justice! For those of you who couldn't make it, the attention to detail and finish of this car is spectacular. Gus was mobbed on both days and rightly so. Cheers Gus I'll post up some pictures soon. Also to Dave (Gus's mate) who made it down both days.

Thanks to Chris, it's a long way from Sheffield, and we are always grateful that he makes the trip to be with us for the weekend and help us eat the biscuits, sorry there was no kettle this year

Ash, good to see you again, Adrian, hopefully you've defrosted now, Barry, who's always happy to lend a hand no matter what it is, Ronnie, looking well my friend, the list could go on forever.

Also a big thank you to the other forum members who came, it's always nice to meet you, there were a lot of new faces this year of people who have just started/begining to start, which is great.

Kind regards

John, Keith & Tony

3GE

It was good to meet some of our fellow builders this weekend. Hope you all had a safe drive home.

Thanks to the guys at 3ge for your hospitality it was a great weekend.

The show was a lot better than last year which you could tell by the number of kits in the car park.

I haven't spoken to Gus since I left yesterday, but judging by the amount of interest his car was generating he must be well pleased with it. He doesn't give himself credit for what a wonderful car he has made.

See you all soon.

Dave

A big thank you to John, Keith & Tony for the hospitality & the nice comfy chair to rest me old bones in

Gus should really be proud of his achievement .... Certainly the highlight of my day

Here's hoping that everyone had a grand time at the show

As promised, sorry for the quality, it's done on the phone and I'm no David Bailey.








You think they could smile wouldn't you?

Ahh, that's better.





Probably the only time Gus had to breath, about 3 minutes past 10 I think and Ash collered him. As previously mentioned, Gus's car is truely amazing, he's set the bar very high in my opinion.

Kind regards

John
