Well thats three of us going to Athelhampton. I am expecting to much for everybody to reply? Perhaps there is a lot of people not on the forum going. It does get a bit loanly up at the sharp end sometimes. But in the end all you guys turn, like you did at Hestercombe. So come lets see a big show of hands and back the SW committee at the SW concours. See you all there?

Not sure about the peoples choice concours, I think you are right. The same as show and shine. The rules of concours have also been relaxed. Not so much checking of the suspension etc. Make sure you come and have a chat Mike! Ron |

I'm definitely going as it's my local event.
Assuming I get it back from Le Mans OK I'll take the M6. If there is an informal class for cars like mine that are used regularly then I would enter. If not I'll be a spectator! Having seen Ross's M6 at Hestercombe, my car would come nowhere in a true concours, despite being in exceptional condition for a 19 year old car. I'll call David Leake and find out what's happening on the day as he may want to display all the coupes together. Having never been to this event before I don't know what to expect. I have noticed that it clashes with a sharknose gathering so perhaps there won't be many old coupes there!  ------------- Nick |
