[quote="Pete"]Luke if you look like that on Sunday I'll be questioning Mo (the cook) exactly what kind of mushrooms she puts in the lasagna?!!! :shock: :lol:

Pete, If I look like that, You 'll not be in a fit state to ask Mo what mushrooms she uses!! And some very interesting things will be happening on track!! :shock: :o

Are pictures obligatory ? Hope not. I'll be there with a yellow van filled with juicy bits of treasure from under the bed, including 6 pce SS arch trim set, 2 pieces NOS SS arch, set of door chromes orig, Motolita tulip boss, silver 140kph speedo, restored columns, restored steering wheels, several brocade panels genuine, BMC mk1 panels (bonnet, n/s door etc), Moto lit a wheels, Maserati horns, works fuel pump rebuilt, lots of small items and some things which are not for sale but might interest folks.
Bart is bringing a cherry red 60 project which might be for sale.
If we haven't met, come and say hi. I am the fat, tall bloke behind the Min-e-bitz stall.

Wouldn't miss it, so bringing ex British Vita Racing KDK320F still in it's 'as found' condition plus a load of questions for all those with intimate British Vita and BMC eight-port knowledge :?:

Great, another ex works car and a Monte one at that! 8-)

Ronnie feel free to come down Saturday and stay over, I'll be there from about 4pm, best between 4pm and 6pm. Forecast for Gainsborough says dry and sunny Saturday, overcast on Sunday with the odd drop of rain in the morning if we're unlucky.

See you there.

Unfortunately, it's just too far for my old body and my old Mini to travel :cry: I'll look forward to hearing about the weekend (and seeing lots of photos!) I'll be sorry to miss it. It sounds as if there's going to be a fantastic gathering of cars and people there 8-)

I'll look forward to seeing some of you at Beaulieu which is an easier journey for me.

Have a great weekend!
