2008 Restoration Show

Post by monkeymax »

Restoration Show
Stoneleigh, Sunday 26th October

Stoneleigh Park, Warwickshire, CV8 2LZ

This year the restoration show is only once - on the 26th Oct.

Last year, in spite of the difficulties with my car, I enjoyed it and I know others did too.
So, although I don't currently know if we have a stand this year, is anyone interested in doing it this year?

Some photos from last year to spurn interest... ;)

Project ideas? How about a game of 'find the mahoosive leak' on my car, involving such joyous activities as 'removing the entire dashboard' and crying as it all falls apart :(

I've known non MK1 Club members to help in the past. As the day goes on you usually need all the help you can get.

Phil and I wont be able to make it as it's the final round of the Toyota Sprint Series in Teesside.

:shock: Yeah - not really. In my defence, it was a Saturday and I was in the office working so my mind was elsewhere...

I guess encourage would be a more appropriate word. #-o


Oh, and by the way; thats should be that's. :tongue:



Vix - if you could do that, that'd be fantastic!
