Is the Event DEFINATELY being held in the cowsheds this year? I've just come back from the ** Spares day and it was held in the Main Hall, with a nice selection of cars being parked in the sheds. Mind you, there were some rough ones as well!

However, I didn't see one TR there.....

As price of tickets for the MG Day and Triumph Day both cost the same, We will now allways be in the Cow Sheds at Stoneleigh [:(].

MG Day = more paying punters and more stall holders = more money for Stoneleigh = Main Hall.


TR Day = less paying punters and less stall holders = less money for Stoneleigh = The Cow Sheds.


Well! That's how I see it [:(!].

Tomorrows the big day, three cars on the TR Drivers club stand, a genuine TR8 convertible, a TR6 and THE Coca cola car, out for the first time since its 3 year restoration.
Hope to see lots of you on the stand.

Thanks Wayne, I know there were 3 but mine was the first one won,the only new one and won with the highest number of words. Just pointing out that although one of the others has recently been described as THE Coke car (by you I think), mine is still around.

HAHAHAHA [:D] very good Gaz!

I can promise I've only ever used "the coke car" as a term of familiarity within the TR Register Yoof group as reference to the one that the club as a whole owns. That car is an integral part of the Yoof group now. In much the same way as you refer to "the house" or "the kids" when speaking to the wife etc. [;)]

Hope everyone had a good day at Stoneleigh! Missed it again this year when work got in the way... [:(] post pics pleeeease!!!!!!
