With all the jobsworths about the NEC they wouldn't permit her in!! Must agree on your thoughts on Ray's car though its stunning and to be on the same stand as it is a pleasure. Just a pity we have to put up with Gary's poor wit and his ocd. But only one day left, be glad to get back to people who can speak proper English !!....LOL Yeah no wot you mean ... speaking proper sarfie lingo now i is at ome wiff the trouble and strife .

mk2dk Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 Hi. Quick hello from us, sitting in Birmingham Airport waiting. It was a great show and hopefully we will be back. Really nice to meet you guys at the stand, and have a good chat. Your cars are awesome and catched loads of attention. Visiting the show confirmed us, that the classic car and bike scene is growing bigger each year. Got a couple of tips from Colin that I'll try on the Escort during winter Thanks mk2dk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colr6 Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 Well got back in from the NEC, think the day was a resounding success with comments on the cars amount of people taking photos. Really good response to the flyers and enquirys on the forum and what we do. Ray again continuously answering questions on his car and people asking for advise. Thanks to Gary for sorting the stand out, well done mate, but to be honest glad to get away from you !!!.....LOL It was just like going abroad. Listening to you lot, good job I'm educated and multi lingual otherwise we would have been knackered. Ray and myself saw an opportunity to get away before the mass exit so we took it. But unfortunately didn't get chance to sat tarra to Gary and thank him. So tarra and thanks Gary ! Would say it was a pleasure meeting you three but I assure you it wasn't ha ha. It is with great regret I have to say hope to see you soon.....WELL DONE LADS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stephens_xpack Posted November 13, 2017 Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 Was a fun four days, loved meeting you all and loved all of the cars, ours and the shows - lots of awesome stuff and glad i was there for the duration as it was a cracking experience, one i would gladly repeat in 2018 - here's hoping Gary gives us a shot at it if he doesn't want the job himself again? I will learn sign language for next year, to help Ray out and come to think of it Col as well i suppose, save money on translating Northern monkey into Southern twat... Yes i think Ray was King of the stand, his stupid 1300 E just got loads of attention, and rightly so very period correct no attention to detail missed. Was a good blend of differing cars, two escorts yes, but both very different beasts. And the Tina is a stunner, very, very cool. And good to see khanlad and Leo.. There obviously were others, but i did like a wander so missed most visitors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the Cappa perform ok ? Yeah, i can't sit still, so much to go and look at. I thought i was OSF hardcore on the Sunday though?.... Yeah the fat girl got me home without issue, gear box sounds a bit dry and noisy, I'll have to try putting some of that oil stuff in it that is mentioned in all the manuals... Good fun, look forward to catching up with you again soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stephens_xpack Posted November 13, 2017 Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 Oh yeah, and the gods must love a classic car as it was dry on trip up and dry on trip home. Can't ask for more than that in November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vista Posted November 13, 2017 Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 Here you go, 900 miles not 700. RS2000 And if that isn't eye watering enough, the RS500 sold for over £115k RS500 A few surprises though, a concourse RS1600 unsold as was a mk1 Lotus Cortina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XR3 Cabrios fetching 16 grand on average wow! The yellow RS1600 was nice. I would have gone for it than the Mk2 RS2000 but even at 77k its simply too much.

Leaving the EU is certainly effecting the prices of these then ? ...or is it ? ...could be like most things their blaming on it, makes prices go UP !!! So come on lads get them sold before we leave the EU or the DVLA man cometh !...LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
