Was the red car George? The blue one has been to the last few Southerns, great condition car but it seems to have sprouted red!

Red car was a chap called Eddie I think... the guy Mac helped out with restoring the car. The blue 340 was very, very nice... shame about the red bits

Great to meet you guys. Although it's not my usual field of competition I reckon I secured a top 6 position in the concours!

Yeah sorry... 1024x768 is the smallest 'resonable' size that flickr automatically resizes to... might be an issue for people with lower resolutions.

I gave it a polish about a month ago, gave it just a wash the day before the show... the paint is really, really nice on it though... barely even any swirl marks :shock: :D
