Hi,
Roy you are more than welcome and thanks not nec [:I].,as everything I said to Michelle was 100% true, looking forward to doing the New Forest run next year make sure once you hear of a date post it on here.
THE highlight for me was a simple one, a little girls came up to me yesterday ( about 5 years old ) with her parents, they had done a list of questions for her on various car's there, her mum was saying they had wrote them down for to keep her occupied a sort of treasure hunt if you like. Her question for the TR7 was -
<font color="red">' Who was the designer of the seven ? '</font id="red">
I said i can do better than answer your question can show you his signature, she was made up [:)] and had a picture taken pointing to it. Said to her if she was good for mum and dad, before she goes home come back and have her picture taken sitting in my car. Mid afternoon she was back and had been good so in she jumped with a smile ear to ear and pictures were taken. Both her and parents were over the moon. We were the only stand in the whole show had been that helpfull, they were virtually ignored on the Register stand i am sorry to say. That on its own made the whole weekend worth while.
WE really are the club for TR7's and 8's there is no alternative. There was a gent on the Register stand when i went over to chat a fellow TR7 owner, that had just sold his TR4 as too old to crawl in and out of it but wanted a TR of some decription. He came over and sat in mine, did tell him mine was lowered so poss not the easiest 7 to get in and out off but loved the way it felt, showed him last months mag and I think he was sold on a car and our club ! Another guy who was 6 foot plus and was worried he would not be able to sit in it with the roof up, put my roof up and off he went after a chat to find a car and eventually join the club. Answered so many questions on conversions, there are lot being done and should write a book on doing it! Must admit enjoyed giving answers to problems people had come up against and the smiles on there faces when they had a solution or two.
Was great to hear almost 100% good feedback about our cars. Hopefully convinced a few people who were going to break cars to sell them on rather than a fate on Ebay as once they are gone they are gone [:(]
Plus got a few more signatures for my autograph book, or as some people would say the inside of my boot lid [:p]
Would i do it again, would love too [8D] hard work but enjoyed every minute off it.
