Nick and I wondered how much better this photo would be if it had a row of '8s in front of it! To find out, sign up for this year's Annual Meet. Nick and Ann have arranged a tour of the Midland Air Museum https://www.midlandairmuseum.co.uk/explore.php with special dispensation to have our cars line up for a photo shoot in front of the Vulcan bomber!

Most definitely. Pity Dean isn't coming, as we could have his red S8 under the roundel.

Unfortunately due to circumstances beyond our control Linda and I will not be attending this year's Annual Meet.
I'm hoping to be able to drive down just for the Saturday but will have to return home later in the day.
My apologies.
