It was good to finally met you all fella's.

All the 7's looked great, it's a shame that we are so 'niche' that the true value of the work we all put in to maintain these strange cars is not reflected in their value.

Not that I am in it for the money, god knows that I can never balance that scale.

I just think we deserve better recognition.

Ian, please book better weather next time !

Japfest maybe ?

-haha- !

Was awesome to see you guys and meet a few new faces aye. Everyone's cars looked awesome! Made me realise how badly my paint needs to be sorted though! :lol: Also to order some double sided tape to refit my side strip which I leant on a few weeks ago :?.

Nice pics though aye. I'm afraid I also forgot to take some! :( Surely Nik will be to the rescue with pictures soon :lol:

You might be right, Thomas :oops: It appears I do suck a bit. Thankfully, Ian did a masterful job of taking pics of all our cars where I utterly failed (and thanks for being more kind about my car than she really deserves). FWIW, my pic thread is here http://www.rx7fb.com/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=3086 or will be when I finish it, lol


Despite the short day (well, short at the show, long overall) and the awful bloody weather, I really enjoyed it and it was great to meet up with old friends and new... even if mostly it was only as we huddled under a soggy gazebo :lol:

Now the rain has stopped, the Gezebo has dried & I have recovered from the shock of seeing more than 2 FBs together I would like to thank Ian for arranging the Stand passes & also how good it was to meet you all with your Unique cars & thanks for the warm welcome.
It was well worth the long drive & the Stay at Bewdley's Faulty Towers was "Fun" :lol:
And Finally gave the car a good thrashing on the way home, all in 1 weekend 0-0
