Uxbridge Autoshow

Up but not awake..

[Paul C]

NO.

I'm a definate no now, my window of time i had to leave by has gone.

Up showered, bit of breakie, been out to car and got sat nav, looked up felix's house on satelite images to make sure i have the right one, added it to sat nav, grabbed trainers to drive in and my fully immersable 'Explorer trail light' berghaus boots, fleece, and waterproof coat. Folding chair, umbrella and suntan lotion are already in the car.

Grabbed Vicki's keys to go back out and move her car out the way.

Pissing it down. Came back inside and thought 'for f***s sake, i'm stood here dress like i'm going sea fishing', checked uxbridge weather, clicked on the show webcam and saw:

I'm out, like i said, i like a good show and uxbridge really is, bi'm pretty sure how it's going to be and it's not how i want to spend today. I sincerely hope i'm wrong and you have a few hours of good sun, some enjoyable dry driving miles and that the show is well attended. And cheers for the coffee offer Mr Felix.

Have fun.

No worries Paul.... Maybe next time. So far no rain at mine.

Sorry to hear about your MOT Dave.

Still don't know where castle Felix is but I'll be off in a min to find the prestigious Uxburg show ground. :-)

Good to meet up with everyone. Great event, though one to many lowered BMW's for my liking.

Paul, the weather was glorious, you really should have made the effort.

Mark,

Thanks for posting the pics and also for coming along. As for the lowered BMW's etc, it seems most shows are inclined that way a little these days. if you haven't been before then a trip to Classics on the Common in Harpenden is well worth a visit and that is 27th of this month.

Thanks also to all who came and looking forward to the next event that will hopefully involve a drive out for us locals. Big thanks goes to Sue and John for bringing along the gazebo.

Weather was nowhere near as bad as predicted with some scattered showers and definitely not the monsoon forecast. Pics tomorrow when on a decent computer.

Trevor.

Glad you guys had a good day, stayed crap all day here, who would know! Is that a Maserati or a bitter Mark?

Spent the money i would have on petrol by going for coffee and cake, having sunday lunch, baking cookies,an afternoon in the pub, and ate out for tea tonight,

Fat beery and happy, so all's good.

[Mark Blanchard]

That's a Maserati Khamsin, a rare sight indeed. The How Many Left website says there are 9 registered in the UK.

Great to see everybody today.

A special thanks to Mrs Felix for a much needed coffee, John & Sue (Boots) for a much needed gazeebo and to Trevor for organising us all.

Sorry I had to leave early but I had a birthday party to organise & go to. The track on teh way out was starting to turn into a bit of a mud bath, hope you got out 'cleanly'

Bibs, love that Evora, you're soooo lucky to be driving it. I even sat in the back

Some great pics too.

Hope to see you again at the Ace or Donnington.

[Bazza 907]
