Great: funnily enough, you can't miss me either, as it's been said that I don't look completely unlike Mr Bean (no goatee though ....) I'll make sure I'm there.
Sounds like everyone had a fabulous time, and I did think of you all as I wrestled with some bendy bits in the workshop.

looks like i missed all the fun !! Was booked into Vintage for the 3 days. Oddly enough out of all the cars displayed it was that same HotRod i would have taken home. I spoke briefly to the owner who said how hot it got inside......Will there be an AutoRevival 2010???

It really is a superb restoration. Lovely car.
Great to see it being tracked like that.
I hope he cleans any brake dust off those expensive wheels.

Cheers for the pic Paul - all suited and booted for Vintage!
Big thanks to Steve for the parade laps and well done for putting the event on - I will def try to get on the track next time -
Sorry it was only a brief visit but we too were commited to the Vintage Festival.
Did all the other 356's get out on track?
How did they fare?
Was it a case of keep having to look out for 911's up your ass?
There was a lot of tyre marks leading from the track to grass - did anyone manage to spin off!
Cheers

I'm afraid I splashed the cash and got my photos. Wish I'd shaved off my holiday beard now!

Hi Paul
Nothing wrong with a beard, just look at the big handsome chap in the car behind.
All the best

Paul it was well worth the money you spent. It is a really great picture of you and your car and the beards too.
