Had a great weekend and it was good to meet everyone - looking forward to the next '7' event.

Huge congratulations should be given to Jim and Stuart for organising the event.<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></font id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">

I agree Simon,

Thank you so much Jim & Stuart,

It was a great weekend and really good to finally put faces to names (SimonO, Birminhgam tr7, Ruddy etc etc etc). got a variety of ideas on how to continue developing Polly (now just to put them into practice).

All,

Thanks to all attending the show and I know one TR7 owner got stuck in traffic today so fail to get on the stand. Remember to keep this in your diary for next year, which is the first weekend after the last May bank holiday weekend.

Lastly I agree with Simon0 accept my apologies for queezing in the cars in readiness for the planned extra cars, which unfortunely didn't make it this year, but please don't be put off in entering next years TR7/8 Northern National weekend.

Already planning for next years event which will include a saturday night road trip for campers staying over on saturday to include long tunnels for the V8 cars to rev their V8 in.

Hello everyone!
Fantastic weekend, thanks to all the 'wedges' that turned-out, I know we lost some on the Sunday, but the weather was far worse in other areas and many were coming a long long way just for the day, so don't blame them really!

I'm so pleased everyone enjoyed the event, I'm sure we have laid the foundations for a cracking annual event, I know Jim is well "up for it" to become a regular TR7 event!!

Congratulations to the 8 cars that won the trophies over the 2 days, there were some lovely examples there!

If the event grows, we can easily arrange for more space!! Now I'm looking forward to the national weekend!!!!

Thanks Again to everyone, and especially to Jim who did a great job looking after everyone on the stand!! Cheers fixed-head (stuart)

PS It seems all "flying Wedge" owners are nice people!!!...so far!!!
