Im not sure about Sheldon, the snobs would say its a 2p car.kieran325 wrote:I used to work at Williams back in 94, I know the place well
I went to Tatton Park and I thought it was dreadful, not as good as previous years and was disappointing, hope it bucks up for next year
My E30 will be making a visit to David Holmes for a few weeks on show, I might make a call at Williams to see if they want it
Do you tip toe to the Sheldon Arms nr the M60 for the BMW Car Club meet ??
I remember dozens of stands with parts galore and a huge amount of cars on show 
When bmw Ireland were launching the new 3 series convertible I faxed the sales managers of the Dublin dealers offering my car as a show model. Two of them never replied but number three realised what I had and took it in as a display. They serviced it for freegazm3 wrote: Im not sure about Sheldon, the snobs would say its a 2p car.
And Tatton is normally all about said snobs.
and did a refurb on the wheels for me as well. I arrived up to see it in the dealers showroom to find lots of people looking at my convertible and nobody at the new three series 
Yes I often go to the Sheldon. Hoping to make it on the 1st Dec but not sure yet. I'm sorry to hear you were not impressed with Tatton this year. Let me know what you found lacking and I'll pass it on.kieran325 wrote:I used to work at Williams back in 94, I know the place well

It's a shame you feel that way. I am a club member and have been on the NW commitee for some years and don't regard myself as a snob. I'm an ordinary working class stiff who happens to like old BMW's. Both my cars are old with little value but are in excellent condition due to hard work. I have never felt out of place with any of the people who attend the club meets and most of them tend to own older cars. It saddens me to hear that people have that sort of belief about us.gazm3 wrote:

Let us know when the unloved sport is at Benhams, Ill pop in for an inspection of Mr Coxon's work.
No worries mate, it's a forum and debate is good.kieran325 wrote:I've never been to the Sheldon meet, I've seen it in the meets section on the car club site, I'm not a paid member and never will be
The show at Tatton was really dreadful, I had some good visits in the past and this was a big let down
It's a good finish on the sport, a few niggles to sort out before it left but it's good
Anyway nice car steele and sorry to go off topic
I think you may have left a bit early. A lot of traders and display cars were late arriving. Yes its true that size wise it has been scaled down a little but the main reason for that is that we used to share this event with the Porsche club but they provided very little input, had very few cars on display and were not bringing in many Porsche owning attendees. We are trying hard to build it up into a real Premier event but of course with the reccesion biting this year there was a reluctance when trying to drum up support from companies to spend money attending.kieran325 wrote:Hi Steve,
Re the Tatton Park event, I found it compact and un entertaining due to the small layout
I've had some good years there in the past and this was by far the worst, I turned up at 10 and was gone by 10.30, maybe I should of given it bit more time but I bailed out with many others
So it's next Wednesday at the Sheldon, I'm working that night too
We need our own E30 meet in the North West
I was going to say I thought I'd seen this car at Tatton. After I saw this car I went out and bought my is about a week laterkieran325 wrote:Hi Steve,

Glad that you found it an inspiration. Your iS looks lovely. Hope you enjoy it and maybe you will bring along to Tatton next time.richardlkay wrote:

I have to agree with Kieran, the Tatton show was dire this year and I didn't stay around for long.
E30 NW meet sounds like a good idea

I have a tub of Zymol Carbon Carnuba which cost me £46 which I think is enough. £8K is mad
