Anyone interested in going & meeting up? Esp to anyone in Hampshire area. As it would be a great opportunity for an local area esprit owners meet up.

Eddy, Pete, you want to meet up somewhere prior to the event. Opens at 10am, but I think those with cars for display tend to arr from 9 ish.

I will know for certain on Friday PM if I can attend as I may be on Call

Forgot to add some bits about show.

Gates open at 10, but best getting there about 10-15 early so as to register. Its a good area being set on firm ground right by the sea. No mud pools here.

I'm going to be of line for two days now, so if anyone wants to meet up then please call or text me:

Hi Dave.

I am at the furthest most notherly point in Wales. 'Angelsey'. I will be driving via A55, then cut across via Wrexham & head towards Shrewsbury & on via Kidderminster to join M42 & M40 to Oxford.

However slight change in plan. I will be now leaving tonight, so I can get a full day at home, Sun, to sort some things out, which includes a good wash & polish of the Old gal.

Thanks for offer anyway. I am also in my humble 200sx, so would be a little out of place. But once I ve got the Loti run in I will be up for simular in the future thats for sure.

Thanks for a great day Daz. The weather was fab, the site not muddy, the people were entertaining (especially the kid who got in the cars).

here are a few pics from the phone, as I plugged the camera in to charge but forgot to turn the socket on so had to rely on the phone.

Nice one Ed.

Ditto, thanks Daz for organising, lovely day but that kid still need a beating to learn some respect!!

[dazmans3]

Great to meet you guys, gald you enjoyed the day. it was a craking day all round I must say esp as this was my ladies first outing since the HC engine was finsihed. Sorry if my engine bay was a little to clean. It wont be like that next year. Some great phots here, this show seams to get bigger & better every year. Thought I would add my lot:

Just for those who wonder what we at talking about ref kids getting into cars & beatings. This 4yr old with grandmother in toe, was just jumping into the cars & playing with all the switches ect. The Grandmother, with out asking permission or at least appologising, was attempting to pull him out & then saying to us,who where all standing there in shock while we watched over, 'OH! that'll be Ok! & then she just let him carry on the the next car.

No disipline, its no wonder kids are like they are today( Oh! but that'll be for another thread in General Chat) Thats my soap box bit over.

A convoy of esprits is a great sight in any number. It certainly got the nieghbours attention this morning.

All lined up & looking real good:

Eddy, getting rid of all those dead flys.

Nice Elan +2 & Locos 7(The owner of this 7, Robin, uses this as his every day car in all weather)

I think this had a V6 in there:

Andy's Chargecooler S3 turbo with some Italian thing in the background:

An immaculate Nissan Silvia Turbo:

Nissan 300zx with Lambo style doors:

Not sure what this was, but it looked fun:

Some American metal:

Rebuilt Modle T:

Rover SD1 Cop car

Anyone need a No 3

Glad to see you posted the pic of the New Esprit I purchased for the princely sum of Five whole english pounds, Completely mint with rockets still in their detachable holders........

[Jussi]

Nice photos, thanks for sharing

Really liked those lines of Esprits maybe it's because I haven't seen an G-car for a while....

[dazmans3]

this has potential for the Esprit Callender do you think?

Just needs lightening up a bit.

[Jussi]

Sorry couldn't resist

It's so nice photo

[peteyg]

Good work Jussi, that looks great!!

The original is higher res, I can send that over for you to work your magic on?

Pete
