Congratulations your grey soft top was nice as was the red 320 that one and even my old sport reg no e 30 bm but did anyone see the green 325 on a d plate on the grass with 40000 and hartge wheels that was the nicest 325 I have ever seen and really put all the chavved up monsters to shame the guy with that seemed really nice and that really was a lovely car if your on here mate you are indeed fortunate.

I thought John had put time aside to spend with Steve Tigger... so he thought it best not to enter his car as he couldn't dedicate enough time to preparing the old girl if he was to be Steve's minder for the day...

Nice looking car! Hard top Mtech2 cabs are as good as it gets imo! I remember standing with Jon last year when he won, he was rather pleased, but no one deserved it more.

That sucks - John should be allowed to enter every year and win every bloody time!

Not having the best cars in the competition makes it a farse as far as im concerned. its like saying chelsea cant play in the premiership because they won last year :mad:

No disrespect to this chap that won or came 2nd.

I think I was talking to him when it happened.

I thought he was quite restrained - if it had been my 6 I'd have just decked you! winkeye

well done guss you can vote for me next time.
nice too meet you,
also on another site didnt realise you member here or too
thick to remember.
think there should be a seperate area and award for modified
cars tho,ive put seven years of hard earned and love into my car
which is no different to people wiyh concours.
doesnt mean i dont like gaydon or people in it.the judgeing could be
better.
they did do a modified section one year then didnt do it anymore
didnt give it a chance.
anyway thats my moan.congrats gus

it was some cobweb minge bird that had a go at me.(and simon13)

but i pressume your joking.

if not then you need ot get out more my friend. at one point me and my cousin was looking at a white 2 door 316i e30(how desirable) in the concourse section, bloke was giving us evils when we were checking his inner arches.

what a said bunch of twats. the lot of them.
