Heading up this afternoon with a mate, be there from 12:30. I'll write my forum name on some masking tape, if anyone wants to say hello. Don't want to be antisocial.

Sorry I missed you. Was only there for three hours. Spoke to an Ultima owner who was selling his car or his miss was, he didn't seem to happy, £45k. Then into hall A-E quick run round there, popped my head into the cars for sale hall, not much there.

Quick watch of the Westy's being ragged around then finally found show halls 1 and 2, spoke to a guy who built a roaster back in 2012 and had since built 3 other more expensive cars and was now doing key turn builds for MEV's Aston Martin replica which looks ace.

I was then stopped dead in my tracks by this......



After staring and drooling for 20 minutes I finally dragged myself away spoke to westfield about the s2000 car and dimensions and then had a long chat with Canems ECU's and the Road Runner Racing guys. Some clever mx5 engine tricks going on there and the SR2 chassis design is on another level better than caterham or westfield in my opinion. Bought a QR boss from rally design quick look at the show stopping Supercharged Ultima, more drooling and then I was heading back to the car.

So many 7 types it was a bit overwhelming. There are some M3 donor 7's there but with the enormous wheels, look like you could go off road with the ground clearance. A lot of haynes roadster look a like chassis there too.

Nice bit of kit isn't it. Being a BMW fan (don't judge) I was very keen on GKD. All the stuff just plugs and plays with the BMW OEM parts. Pretty cool. Plus M3 or maybe even V8 power. New trousers anyone?

Gotta say that there were very few haynes roadsters there. Locost Owners pen had one, very nice, roadster in it. Is Locost dead? Sleeping maybe?
