PETER SMITHS CAR CARNIVAL

[conner]

Did anybody bother going?

[mrmaggit]

Yup, me. You could sit in all the cars this time, much better.

[FlipFlopGriff]

Me too.
Good chance to give Mac a run out.
Bloody cold on the way home though.

I turned up on both days (any excuse for a drive). Saturday seemed to be the day for TVR owners while Sunday had more general car enthusiasts and tyre kickers.
On Saturday I saw a couple of locals wander in - a man and his son. Son proceeded to sit on a bike they had for sale in the showroom while Dad look a picture. Son got off bike and then...disaster! Bike fell over with a loud crash and lots of bits flew off it. Dad and son exited showroom rather quickly.
The M14 was only there Saturday and seemed have the lightest clutch in the world for a car of its kind or it wasn't actually connected up to anything.
Oh...and the hog roast was very nice.

I helped them pick the bike up and told them to go and see the staff at the desk and tell them what had happened. They started off in that direction but then left.

I was there Saturday, quite a good effort. Peter Smith need to get more salespeople though, my collegue fancies an Elise & we didnt find anyone to talk to about them, the few sales guys were too busy doing joyrides with customers ( or so it seemed )

That new Noble is seriosly unnatractive, does anyone else think it looks like it was designed in the mid 80's

Ah, you must have been the guy that dashed over and picked it up - I thought you worked there! Now I understand why they managed to scarper and the 'staff' (i.e. you) didn't seem as angry as they should have been...
I'd have said hello if I'd have realised who you were, as I recognise cars from PH but not the owners!

Maggit was the last person who looked like he worked there - you don't usually see salesmen (people) in flying jackets.
I was with Mrs FFG in the matching black TVR jackets.

It was really cold so I just assumed he'd thrown a coat on - surely not all salemen have an Arthur Daley sheepskin jacket!
I was the guy who looked least like a Griff driver - denim jacket, no hat and spikey blonde hair! Took me a while to thaw out when I got back home...

Like I said, it shifts!

Ok, I'll go and correct the typo. In a day or two.
