I think you will enjoy it! I haven't seen an S yet in C.Blue so make sure you post some pics when you get it.

Matt, thanks for the compliment, the colour looked better under the NEC lights than I'd seen it before!
Did you speak to anyone on the Stand?
Cheers......... Andrew

I was in a bit of a hurry as my mate had to get back for work so I only got chance to say hi to one bloke who was really tall. Was that Duncan? I think my exact words were "Eh up! Yu'alright?" in a broad northern accent!

I seemed to spend quite a bit of time on the Comma stand though. Did you see the ladies!!!!! Amy was my favourite! Hmmmmnnn Amy XXX

Well I had my PH polo shirt on on Sat (ordered it the Monday and arrived the Tuesday -thanks Ted) and no-one spoke to me accept loads of kids who kept asking me if they could sit in cars - I must suffer from an employee look? Went to the TVRCC stand and didn't see GB61390 (Andy), Flasher and Benno where always in the Sporting Bears area - wasn't like Flasher could get away. S6TFT - the crowd always cheered when you came out and you were as quick up the sprint as the Diablo. Incidently did anyone speak to the Diablo owner and find out how he dented it?? Flasher was very quick up the sprint - possibly too quick judging from the tyre marks he left at the end.

My other half says the Diablo was hit by a French Lorry driver on Friday night,she was chatting to people on the SBMC Stand while I was doing Dream Rides in the Chimaera.
I left at about 1830hrs on Sunday night and the Diablo + Driver were being videoed / interviewed.

Tim, sorry I didn't meet you. When were you there? I didn't get to the NEC until noon both days and looked around the Show most of Saturday. Sunday afternoon was the only time that I spent a long period on the Stand.
Matt, yes, Duncan (Macnud) was the tall bloke with the 450 SEAC and Andy with the V8S spent the most time on the Stand.
Cheers......... Andrew

I spoke to the lambo passenger who seemed to be helping the "Bears " out and also helping the paying riders to get the belts on in the Lambo. she gave me half her choc biscuit for my lunch as I didn't get time to eat - which was nice!

Does anyone know the chap who was taking photos on the island (mini roundabout)just outside the sprint area? He took one of me on one of my quicker turns and I would like to see what it looks like - just a blur?!

I wish I had had my CR box in for saturday i may have been able to go a little faster!

Andrew,
I went on sat and got there about half eleven so that explains why I never ran into you. Did you, or anyone else see the Fiat Strada convertible on the Fiat stand opposite? So what I thought at first - then I noticed the 4litre BMW V8 under the bonnet, I bet the owner has some traffic light stories to tell. You're in the Leamington region I believe, are you going to be at the Super Sunday at Gaydon? Same question for S6 TFT etc.
Tim.

Tim, I did see the Fiat Strada but didn't notice the engine! Wish I had now!
I'll be at Super Car Sunday again this year as it's always a good day. I've never taken part in the parade before but probably will this time.
Cheers..... Andrew
