Bourne Car show 17th June

[Paul_Dids]

Chaps,

just wanted to bring this to your attention in case you were a bit short of things to do on Fathers day

Web site is http://www.bourneclassiccarshow.co.uk

Bourne village is on the A15, north of Peterborough and thier classic car show is on the 17th.

I went last year and there was a great selection of cars (and Bikes) and a great day out. My old man is taking his E type and they're even letting me in with the BM so that can't be bad!!

Looks like there is some places left if you would like to show your car and you can apply via the website. Hope to see so P.H'ers there

Cheers
Paul

Thats a shame, that would be nice and local for me. I will be at Le Mans that weekend. Have a good one.

Hi Paul , yep we will be there in the M-roadster and the ultima weather permitting .good show last year the BRM race cars were very nice .

[Paul_Dids]

Hi Tuxman, I'll keep an eye out for both your cars then!!! I'd definietly like those in my garage, although i've got an itch for an M coupe as well

I'm going down with my dad so hopefully we'll be parked together. If you see an Imola red M3 and a E type together give us a shout

(Not managed to convinced my Dad that putting pistonhead stickers on the Jag is a good idea tho )

[TuxMan]

sounds good Paul don,t know what time it starts but will look forward to seeing you there .simon

Not a million miles from me........

Might take the Griff along as a late entry if the weathers good

[Paul_Dids]

I've been keeping an eye on the forecast and they were predicting a pretty wet week until Saturday and an occasional showery Sunday, however, i live in Peterborough and we've not seen a drop of rain at all - in fact its a beautifull sunny day at the moment!!

Fingers crossed!

[TuxMan]

yep weather here is ok at the moment it better be good just spent 6 hours polishing ultima !!!!!!!!!!!!if it rains i'm going to be pissed !!!!!

[The Griffalo]

Is that thunder I hear

Looks good for Sunday according to the Beeb though.

[TuxMan]

Just got back from the show at bourne great day , good to meet paul, M3 looks and Rob with his Griff 500 ,some would say he has now bought a proper car!!!! sounded sweet as you burbled past !!!. Simon

[The Griffalo]

It is a proper car

Was a nice little show, but I think we're getting far too into it now, we even invested in a cool bag and a picnic!

Anyone know anything about the immaculate Jag coupe there? The guy must have spent a fortune on it, it was totally mint even underneath, and yes I did lay down and have a look!

Splendid work! Would Sir be interested in any of these?

Lavenham might be of interest, I've got the kids on the other two weekends (3 into Griff don't go!) When's the cut off date for entrants?

I don't know, all those years of Pork ownership and it's only when I get the Griff I get invited

TBF I don't remember you posting on the EA forum, only getting stuck into political dogfights on P&P! All previous shows (we started in 2004) have been announced here and also and direct via e-mail to those on the mailing list.

Thanks to my effortless planning skills there's no cut-off date - we have 15 spaces reserved; all I do is put names in the blanks The children would enjoy Lavenham; no chance of a support car I suppose?

[The Griffalo]

Much as I love them dearly I'd rather go to a show like that without them. They only have a limited attention span and being girls don't have quite the same enthusiasm for cars that I do despite my best efforts

I'll pop my head up in the shows thread nearer the time

Hi Simon - great to meet you too mate and an awesome car you have there... not quite sure how you stay so cool with everyone putting their hands all over it though

Rob i saw (heard ) your griff come in but our paths didn't cross on the day - lovely car too tho

Was it the blue Jag coupe you saw that was concours clean? Did you see the white 911 that was parked next to my dad's E type - that was in the same catagory - the engine bay was spotless!!!

Did you both hang around for the flyby? The Lancaster was awesome!

[TuxMan]

Hi Paul good to meet you mate , not to worried about the hands all over it as its made of plastic and prety hard to mark !!!! although one little boy asked me if i was micheal schummmmmmacher i said he was my brother !!!!

[The Griffalo]

Lancaster, pah. My Griff is almost as loud

I know the 911 was clean, but the Jag was simply like new Even smelt like a proper Jag

Was your dad's E-Type the red one with the description about it being a loveable mare to drive on it?

[Paul_Dids]

Guys,

Just in case you're interested the episode of used car roadshow that was being filmed at Bourne is being shown on ITV4 tomorrow night.

One of my mates saw the first showing last Sunday and spotted my BM in the background so I'll be taping that one
