There was some fantastic cars at the show yesterday and those of you who didn't make it missed a great show. I got Best Paint, Best Convertible and Best Modified, so it was a good day out for me personally :D

I was stood with Ron Parrish as the awards were called out and he was spot on in each one, including the runner up sopts. He even called the overall winner of Car of the Show (An E30 Alpina) Apparently Alpina themselves had voted that car as something special, but my car of the show had to be that Estiol Blue with cream leather 7 series Alpina that was next to mine. I'm from the school of mad kits and massive wheels, but even i wouldn't change a single thing on that car. It was pure class and i know the 1st stop i'd be making if i ever won the lottery winkeye :)

Ha, ha. Cheers Jon :wink: Maguires were there and i was chatting to them about Zaino. As i expected, they played the quality of it down and i was laughing in my head cause that's just what i thought they'd do.

I have to admit i couldn't resist the temptation to get some more stuff of them cause i never even polished the car all that well, but it was still gleaming.
:eek: :D

Nice chatting to you too Hap mate.

Jon i will send you an email and perhaps come in with you next time you order some Zaino winkeye

I want to take the car back to the bodyshop to get it buffed properly over the next coming weeks, then she's going to go into hibernation for the winter so it will be nice to polish her up one more time before putting her away :wink: :D

What the one with the Blackpool Tower on the boot? That's my mate Richards car. He's about 40 and a cop and that's his pride and joy winkeye You could drive a truck through his exhaust, but you ont get far cause teh has the standard pea shooters hidden inside :D

I didn't see any of the racing, but i could hear it when i went out side and goodness it sounded fantastic. I'll have to go and watch a F1 race now just to hear the noise winkeye

It was nice to see so many folks from the Zone. I think next year we should look to have a zone stand there. Saying that, there are enough nice cars here to fill the whole show and the car parks, so i wouldn't want to be the one having to choose who went and who didn't :wink:

Bootyman, I must apologise for not actually saying who I was when I spoke briefly with you, it helps putting a name to a face doesn't it :roll:
