              Very wet day but still enjoyable, good to see some M Coupes parked up mainly together (7 or 8 in total?) Also a great show for meeting up with old and new faces. Caught up with ZZZEMMCO and exdos who I haven't seen for a number of years

              and had a good laugh as always with Martin B

                Shame about the weather there after so many months of dry weather. Having said that apart from overnight rain, it's been dry all day here!

                  Yes, we managed 8 cars and one in the car park.

                  The judging for concurs was taking place out the back, fascinating watching the attention to detail from owners and judges

                  Well done Dave

                  I must have wiped the car down 3 times. Spent quite a lot of time with Dave and Dan Wood, and had a look around with a mate Russ and his son, owner of DMWorx.

                  I really enjoyed driving the coupe this weekend too, despite the weather! I need to get out in it more (and maybe sell the roadie!)

                    Dave, it was good to meet you again. It was 2010 when we last met. Your car was looking stunning! I've got some photos of your car that I want to upload to my gallery to post here but the facility seems to be broken and Photobucket is unreliable now. Any advice on how to do this?

                      Thanks John, I only managed third in the Elite class but had some very tough competition this year.

                      Sorry the forum gallery is not working and I have no idea if or when this will be resolved.

                      I have switched from photobucket to flickr which is free and easy to use.

                          I had my rear subframe powdercoated and diff painted etc last year, and whilst I've avoided driving the car in the rain, it still looks a bit filthy under there! No idea how you keep yours so clean!

                            It was Chris T doing the judging on the underbody section some of you may know him as he owned a concours silver S50 for many years. The conversation was regarding the top mounts which don't look standard as they are Rogue

                              Yes think I remember the car.

                              How does it work with concours or aftermarket parts? brakes and all the ACS stuff etc
