Did anyone else pick-up the leaflets re. renting them? That's one itch I'm going to scratch at some point...maybe drive down, pick up a nice 3.7 and go and enjoy the roads of South Wales. 
No, where were they?More to the point - details please!

Oddly, of all the cars there, that Mercedes was the one I most wanted to take home.
While I'm here, does anyone know the story of the Morris Minor parked not far away? Looked standard, but very modern wheels and tyres and no carpets.
I can't remember the spec but it's VERY modified.While I'm here, does anyone know the story of the Morris Minor parked not far away? Looked standard, but very modern wheels and tyres and no carpets.
I love sleepers like that, but both me and a few others looking over it were a bit frustrated that the owner didnt put a spec sheet in the window to satisfy our curiosity!

No pics of mine 
, (Grey 964) still work in progress though, not exactly photogenic at the moment, paint needs attention to say the least, should be better for each successive SS.
I had a great chat with Dan, what a top bloke, the Moggy is very well done, properly thought through, keeping the old features but bringing the chassis bang up to date. Very impressed.

Blimey, I wasn't expecting all these comments. Yep, it's mine and it was my first car 20 years ago. It was my daily driver for a decade and after another decade I finally got my dream car back on the road last year. As others have said JLH built, 200bhp 2.0 Blacktop zetec powered sleeper. It's noisy, uncomfortable, rattles and deafens you on a long journey. I love it
