Yup and these days 'Queens' are saying the same thing.😉

Great blue sky day for a car show so i went to the one at Lytham Hall. Surprised at the size of the turnout. Some stonkingly beautiful cars on show not least a first class restore of a Karman Ghia. Once the owner had stopped complimenting me on my Northern Soul T shirt I had the pleasure of hearing about is 30 year ownership of the the car. LHD import from California. Full base metal upwards restoration with exceedingly nice attention to the internal seating and carpeting. The latter edged in leather to match the seats. Very nice.

However, despite the showing of some rare beasts there was an even rarer beast not to be seen anywhere. I mention this because if you desire to be one of a kind on show you could do worse than turn up in your SC 430. I was in mine, but only parked in the woods.

I will post up some pics of the cars later when I get a chance.

Did not see a single one on my journey thru Europe.

Coming back via the tunnel the UK border patrol man complemented me on my car, despite the cars just having passed him were a Maclaren and a Porsche. One with the rather gaudy plate of H1 COP.

Not sure how these turned out. Not much of photographer.

Crap ! I could have sent a blind man on a fast horse and got better pictures.

Especially of that wondrous motorhome parked next to that ‘ol blu’ banga’ 😄

My reputation  precedes me having always been known for my penchant for 'ol bangas' regardless of creed and colour, or thats the evil rumour my brother spread.

If you can make it I believe at the SC meeting on the 22nd June is when help is available to help with installation of products and issues people have with their cars. I am not planning to be there myself on the Saturday but hopefully will be on the Sunday

Anyone here going to the SC430 meeting in Coventry this month ?

I’ve attended for the last two years on the Sunday and was planning to attend this time but something else has come up so I may now not be there this time.

[Bob King]

It’s on my list of things to do this year .

It's on mine as well, but I am going to have to wait late in the day before I know if it can happen.

Are people having a day out or going all serious and having a night in Coventry?

Work may get in the way yet but I said 'yes' to going. Haven't decided if I will do both days but I think some might benefit from my fault code reader / resetting tools so should make the effort really.

Took the car to work today as the sun was out this morning, it still looks a bit tatty despite having the front wing and bumper repaired and painted. Rear spoiler was once very smooth but now it looks lumpy....the joys of fibreglass and filler.🙄

[Bob King]

Just going for the day (sunday).

That was also my thinking, but I might be swayed to switch days for the weather if it looks more favourable. Lexigirl doesn't like the rain.

[Boomer54]

That's a thought, do I have to inform anybody of my intentions, or can I just turn up on the day?

[Malc1]

I think you can just turn up but it's a simple matter to join the FB group and confirm.

[Mossypossy]

Might, could form a Sussex Kent convoy....

I'm working in Ireland over the show dates sadly. I'm going to take the SC just for fun as I have a couple of days off between jobs in Ballyliffin and Dublin...

You know you can't get many illegal immigrants in the boot of the SC.😁
