I am hoping to be there on Saturday, if you want to meet for a coffee.

Hi Andy,

I was starting to think I would be walking round a totally empty show...

Sorry I am going to be there on the Friday as it is always a good excuse to have the day off work - I will drop in on the CSCC stand

best wishes

We'll be going - looking to chat to some familiar faces, meet with customers and picking a few bits up. Usually a good show!

Brabham BT38 - currently in Atlantic spec with a BDA - need to finish Marcos build before I think seriously about it as a new BDG is not exactly cheap

Had a good day - much better show than I was expecting

Enjoy Saturday

Had a great day at the show today and did the 2 things I mentioned above.

I got Miki Biasion's autograph in my group B book.


He even recognized Markku Alen's signature already on the page from a previous year.

And I saw this.



A recently restored RS1700T,what I didn't know beforehand was that it's the car originally pictured in all the publicity pics for the car in period,until it was axed.

I enjoyed the show, too; better than in recent years.

Any joy with the BDG? I saw Gathercole's there but didn't really notice any other engine builders, but then I wasn't looking.

Sherwoods and Wayne Mitchell Competition Engines are the two "BDG companies" I know of
