Perfect day for real HDR photography, not that effect coolness thing, but the proper thing where aim is just to even out shadow and light, which is difficult to see from end result without knowing if properly done. Yeah, I have slight dislike of modern overburn effects :wink:

Nice turnout from what I can judge from photos, there are ever fewer cars so everyone we see at events is worth a nod.

There was a nice turn out.
Got soaked seriously but it was nice to meet some persons from V3M at long last in the flesh!

Your catalogue is very impressive now VM, is there a pdf version? It'd be great to get a link to a pdf into the for sale section.

Just pm me your email adress.
I need to work on the next edition which will also contain air filters, thermostats and perhaps some other stuff.

Hummm,

Did somebody say it was wet ?? - must have missed that bit!

Seriously though - did it ever rain - still it forced everybody into the marquee and we had to talk to each other (that's new for me and the boss at a BKV)

Regardless of the weather it was a great day and a chance to have met up with VM. Expecting an overwhelming flood at any moment, it was pointed out that as Robert, myself and Dai were all talking together the world stood to loose the only three people still re-manufacturing 300 parts (oh! mustn't forget George - still safe in Dunblane - so speedo cables and 360 g'box mounts would have lived on!!)

Despite the rain and last minute venue change the BKV was only 18 cars down from last year.

Mac.

That was amazing wasn't it, despite the weather (and that was known for days), the large turnout.

If it hadn't been for the rain we wouldn't have been chatting so much.

Shame I missed Foggy however, even though he was there.
