Was a pleasure meeting you and your 8 today David

I saw the event was advertised on Facebook last night and decided to pop along last minute.

I only managed to grab a few pics of ours.

I believe it’s the second Sunday of every month.

I’d never heard of it before but seems like a nice little meet.

Hi Richard
It was great to meet you and your wife on Sunday morning.

The wheels on your car are amazing.

It was great to have 2 D2 S8 at the show. Maybe next month we will get a few more, who knows

You are correct this show is every 2nd Sunday of every month. Its a Breakfast show, so starts at 8.30 and finishes at 11.30. It was a great turnout of cars as well. Check the facebook page for videos

Hope to catch up again next month.
David

I am seeing David Scofield tomorrow lunch time so will let him know you will be in touch

I'm thinking of it as it's only 30 miles away, but it's not on the web site, only Januarys.....
