Hi All,
Just to say what a great day (Well, I was pretty late to the party, but still well worth the drive out...) out this was. Also great to catch up with Andrew again, very well deserved Gold, yet again there fella!!! How do you keep doing this??? And just for those who don't believe he can keep doing this, here is the man himself. Well actually we have Dan, Jason & Andrew....

Jason, really great to meet you and put a face to the name!!! Shame your Capri was so filthy though!!!! Where had you been???
Sorry!!! Great to meet your Dad too, I usually have mine in tow as he really enjoys these meets / shows, but he was still up North this Year so missed out!!! Dan, I don't know how we stood next to each other and did not catch up, really sorry about that fella. I hope your well and still enjoying the Capri??? Also your Mum there too....
Jason, it was a shame you had to nip off, I was chatting with Andrew about the Quad head Light conversion I've done and Andrew couldn't get the Pics to show with the Sun Light, so I was about to bring this over for you to have a butchers as you had expressed an interest in them. Anyhow, all is not lost, you ain't that far from me and if going to a show near you or Kent Classic Ford show, I could nip round for a cuppa and a chat!!! Is that just inviting myself for a cuppa????
Anyhow, I have started using a Dash Cam in the Cappa now, as I have been with my other car and it is amazing what you see. After I left this show I was going over to Cambridge for a night out with a mate over there, so set the Sat Nav for country lanes etc and just sit back and enjoy the drive, only thing was I saw this.... Watch the Little Red car as it turns left at the junction... (Not sure if I should really post this in Rant??? But it was part of the day for me...)

You can't quite see the whole thing as the camera is to the near side, but they drove down the wrong side of the road then up the pavement, hitting the Mini in the process, then carried on for a while till they went off the road again into a fence... Again on the Off Side... Argh!!!!! Watch out for your Pride N Joy chaps!!!
Well, Cheers for posting the memories Andrew, great to meet you Jason and nearly Dan, all the very best to all, cheers,
John...
