Change to usual format this year.
We will be looking at any cars submitted to us, rather than a paper vote in welcome pack most ignore!
If you want your car to be judged let me know and it will be. PM me your colour and reg no for submission.
Any Griff can be entered standard or not. I hope that the best 3 or so will be put on display near the rolling road area for the final decision on the Saturday afternoon. I am sure we can work out a suitable prize. This is meant to be reasonably light hearted and not a Concours event.
Judges decision is final. But I have yet to get any! (Couple of ideas running)

Judging by the amount of work he's been doing on it, I'd nominate Barretis.

Dear oh dear...At least Chris and a Sag owner can read. YOU want to enter YOUR car, YOU tell me. At this rate I shall end up with 20 cars volunteered by others that may not even be in the car park! hehe

I'd also vote Simons 4.3 but I'm not judging which is why it'll be independant judges as the same cars keep winning.
Not sure if Si is joining us - he's been very quiet lately.

True enough Bill.

It's in for a 12,000 mile service today and I'm also hoping to get my Nitrons back, fully refreshed by next week. I'll be there for sure if the car is all sorted!.
