I had a great time!

It was good to meet everyone, I couldn't believe the interest in Ash's car over the weekend.

I'd like to thank Tony and Keith from 3ge for their hospitality and to Ash for the company, get well soon mate, that goes for Ginga too.

Roll on Stoneleigh!

Cheers

Chris

Chris,

It was good to meet the man behind the concept and to see your interest in some of Ash’s mods.

I know it is a long way off but what is the plan for Stoneleigh. Will 3GE provide the stand again? Will Ash have his car there again? Would they want a car that is less complete, (rolling chassis), to show off their products in situ?

Just thinking out loud really, I was reveling in it whilst stood on the stand chatting to people, I could do that all weekend. I was desperately trying to sell the pre-cut chassis that 3GE had brought with them. Trying to convert people from a bolt together kit to the Haynes Roadster way of doing things.

We all pitched in on the locost area last year

I dare say there would be room for a partly complete build

Me ?? ............. I'll have to be content with an A0 size photo of my build......Stuck to the side of Handyandys van

Yeah we can use the LCC stand for our camping/parking needs and I think 3ge are having a stand too.

Looking forward to it

Cheers

Chris

I think this is a great idea, with the book being "Build your own sports car on a budget" I think showcasing forum members' cars gives people the confidence to build their own. This was the thinking behind us asking Ash to display his, so a massive thanks to him for that. We'll be forever in his debt.

Hopefully by the next show I'll be allowed out to play, it was a massive struggle to stay at home for this one (and I hate leaving Keith & Tony to do all the work)

Take care all

John
