Exeter Kit Car Show
 

In another thread earlier this week a few of you were asking when my car will be finished. I am hoping to have all the work completed by the weekend.

Hopefully I will have dvla & iva out of the way by the end of September.

I have offered my car to 3ge to display on their stand at the Exeter show in October. If any of you are going to be there come and have a chat. It will be good to meet some of you face to face.

See you then.

Gus

hopefully i'll be there it will be nice to meet fellow roadster builders and other builders alike and nice to see what my pile of parts will eventually look like.

so your missus has relented and is gonna let you have the money for
iva then Gus ??????
lol
cheers les g

I will be up on Sunday :)

Hey Les......I,m in the same boat :eek: my mrs suggested I sell my body to science :rolleyes: :D

cheers
andy

i know what you mean mate swmbo etc
gus,s car was almost ready for iva when we were at Stoneleigh
and he was moaning she wouldn,t let him have the cash...
i reckon he,s been dipping her purse or putting a bit under the bed each week
LOL..cheers les g

as for sellin your body for science how does that work?
do they pay by the kilo ?
could we organise a group buy as it would be a great case study !!!!!!!!!!

You,d have your IVA paid for straight away if they "paid by the kilo Les" :p .......me.......I,d have to wait till whatever they took off had grown again, & sell it again :D

I daren,t tell swmbo "how much it will cost to get on the road", IVA, reg fee, insurance, tax & fuel money to get there & back ....gulp.

cheers
andy

Andy, remember some things don't grow back, be careful what you sell :D are you heading down this year?

Kind regards

John

:D :eek: I best keep what I,ve got then LOL,

If my car has passed the IVA in time then I might try & get down to the show in my Roadster, & visit a few friends whilst I,m down there.

My target is to have it on the road in time for my next birthday in November:) only 5 months behind schedule, which will be 19 months build time in total.

cheers
andy

I will be there on Saturday

Terry

The show's on October this year. 1 month early.

Kind regards

John

I,m in a similar position to Gus , I reckon if I put in 3 solid weeks worth of work on the car it,ll be ready for its test,
not alot left to do to be honest, 3 weeks is maybe me being too generous but then I don,t feel I,m being pressured if I give it more time that it actually needs.

If its passed & on the road in time for the show I,ll try to get there.....gulp...thats nigh on 500 miles each way :eek:

cheers
andy

IVA paid for you cheeky burger
i,ve got feelings you know..........
LOL
cheers les g

If they paid by the Inch (height you dirty buggers) i'd be able to pay for all of us. Too far for us to justify going though - 1000 mile round trip :eek: thats £400 just for fuel for 2 vehicles then everything else to pay.

Shame......AndyH

Oi you short arse .....tight arse git...lol
if it helps on the money side
you are welcome to stay at my place overnight
give me shout if i can help
cheers les g

who??? me or spud ?? :D :D

cheers
andy

Thanks Les, we'll see what happens over the next few weeks

Cheers....AndyH

bump this bad boy back
im going sunday all day i think
maybe just the sat afternoon if my plans go tits

what we need is a update on whos going and what day people :)

as we all know 3ge will have a stand there would be an ideal place to meet up if anyone is planing on it :)

Forgot about Exeter this weekend, we won't be there - too far to justify.

However, just to say everybody have a great time and a good show - sure there will be plenty there and have a drink for me......:D

All The Brest....AndyH

After spending £94 on a drag link for my jeep's MOT :eek: I'll have to be content with a good ole home made cheese roll & a cuppa from me flask :D :D

Knew I should have left the MOT go till after Exeter !!?? :rolleyes:

It'll be great to meet up again Nick :) :)

Perhap's I will be able to put some more faces to names :cool:

Been in the hall tonight guses car looks the muts must admit I was naughty and have had a sit in it Would of had a drive but the buggar put the steering lock on

Just got back from the show, it was great to see Ash, Adrian, Gus, Chris Gibbs, Bonzo and John on the 3GE stand.

Gus's car is a work of art, it looked great on the stand, also found the ashg's & adrian's Roadster in the carpark that both stand out from the rest.

Picked up a stainless exhaust backbox to match the one I already have (twin exhaust on my car) and a pair of padded leather bucket seat as a show deal. It was a bit tight in the car on the way back!:)

see you there sunday people :)

I arrived home fresh from Exeter show early yesterday evening & was well fed n watered when I got home.

Well worth the visit just to see Gus's completed Roaster .... They say that a photo doesn't lie but it does .... The finished Roadster looks so much better, looking at it for real :cool:
A very big well done Gus, the build is a real credit to the attention to detail that you have paid to each & every aspect of your project :)

Fantastic to catch up with some familliar faces & great to meet up for the first time with some new ones .... Really pleased to meet with so many of my fellow, West country builders :cool:

Sorry I didn't get the chance to say goodbye to you Ash :o I dare say that we will do it all again at Stoneliegh next year mate.
