Yes it was me, and sorry if I didnt wave: I was cold wet, and fed-up so I went home after the F5000 cars had finished. Had a bath though, so I am nice and warm now.

Paint finished last week, going to approve it Wednesday, then reassemble over the next two weeks, should be home mid/end April, just in time for PF. Cant wait to get it back, really missing it.

Did anyone wandering the paddock spot my silver Merc 190E 2.5-16?

Noticed a few people taking a peek at it... that's nice when there's so all these Aston Martins and Ferraris parked nearby.

I saw some crazy yellow schimitar-esque car by the pit straight kind of opposite the pits, this must have been plasticpig.....

Thanks for the compliment !!
I've just got home from a classic car meeting at The Crown in Shardlow. There were only 3 cars there including me so I came home early - does get busy when the weather warms up. There was a guy there who wanted to buy the truck - but it's not for sale.
Donington was great though, apart from the weather. I may try and get to another meeting this year.

You know Mitch ?. Blimey, small world or what !. I've known him for about 20 years - he was at college with my brother. He was just unloading some wood out of the back of his truck so I went and had a chat with him. He's just put a new rad in it this week and it's now painted in grey primer - true hot rod colour. He's still got his Harley, the 56 Chevy and he's working on his Karman Ghia.

I dont know Mitch, but my friend Richard has mentioned him and the truck. I must get down there sometime.

[53chevy]

It's on the 1st Tuesday of the month from 7pm - though some get there earlier to get a parking space - otherwise you have to park on the road. I'll try to post a reminder for the next meeting. Not sure if I'll be there - depends what shift I'm on ( assuming I still have a job that is ).

Is there any real alternative at the Crown?

I managed to stand still in the wind long enough to get a few shots of the truck .. is it OK with you to post a couple?

Cheers, Roger.
