The stand was looking very nice last night when I arrived guys. I delivered the Coca Cola TR7 to the equally posh TR Register stand next door as well.

I thought I was late but still managed to beat Guy [:D]

See you all there Saturday. [;)]

<font color="teal"><b>Oh man I am envious of you

I would have loved to put my car on the stand again

but unfortunately I had no choice this year

no spare time off work and no spare cash for 4 nights in a hotel

and everything else that goes with it ...[:(]

the cars look cool, remember lot's of photos as I'm not there to take any ...[;)]</b></font id="teal">

Went today and the TR Drivers club stand was one of the best there (even though I am biased of course) the Grinnal on the stand is a very nice beast indeed.
No pictures yet as my Son is now my 'official' photographer and hasn't released the pictures yet[:D]

This was my second 'car fix' of the week as I visited Beaulieu on Monday and met Murray Walker doing a spot for the F1 Website, what a nice gentleman he is and a pleasure to meet him[^]

Just home from the NEC, enjoyed the crack with Chris and Jim and doing a bit of research under the bonnets of a few V8's.

Well done to all those involved

Cheers, Paul

I went along on Friday, stand was looking really good. The back wall of the Stag Owner's Club marquee next to us is making an excellent screen for John to show his new DVD[:)]

I met Harris Mann, had a chat & had my picture taken with him[:I] As Chris has mentioned quite a few interesting people called in at the stand, including a chap called Ron (I think) who had been in charge of emmissions development & testing at Speke - he had a few stories to tell!

Rest of the show is pretty good too, we all have our own favorites (after the 7/8 of course!) but the TVR stand has some nice cars including a 350T painted in Nebula Blue - you gotta see it, stunning colour!

Great to see Ian & Barb, Guy, Jim, Phil, John & Susie, apologies to anyone I have overlooked to mention, and many thanks to Chris for bringing my parcel shelf down for me to collect - that's going into ACN01080. Now I need to find a genuine battery box ........

Stevie, Alex Riley used to present Top Gear, he actually produced the programme that featured my cars in 2002, I think its on youtube.
He is a TR Drivers club member and a very enthusiastic TR7 owner who is also from Sheffield.
