I went to the Classics on the Common event yesterday. Great event if you are also into your classic cars, exotics etc. - just about anything on 2, 3 or 4 wheels. Considering it is run as a charity event by the local Round Table it has to be one of the best events I have been to.

OK - so its not an option for meeting up this year as it has already gone, but perhaps next year?

Hi Robin,
It was good to meet you at Classics on the Common and your car looked great. I hope you made it back ok before the evening showers ?!
As you know, Classics on the Common is a great event and has a really good range of cars. It's very popular and you need to book plenty of time in advance to avoid disappointment.

Unfortunately not. I left it too late to leave by which time there was a big queue. The sky opened while I was waiting....
Not all bad though - I followed the lead of the three wheeler in front of me and sat there in the car with my large brolly up.
I too will be returning next year. I think I'll get there a little earlier though - there were so many cars I didn't get time to look at them all. Perhaps we could get together a small Marlin contingent next year....
Is anyone going to the Kit Car show at Stafford w/e 18/19 September. I missed Stonleigh this year as I was still putting the car back together after painting so I thought I might go to this one instead. Has anyone else been before - if so what is it like? (IE is it worth going!)

Hi Robin,
I went once many years ago before I had even chosen the Marlin and trying to make up my mind which cars I liked. (So probably in ~2002!)
The Stafford show was reborn in (I think) 2008 and is now the pet cause of Den Tanner (of Pilgrim). The show is well written up in Kit Car magazine but then it would be as Den is also Publisher of the magazine. Having said all that, it looks to have a good following and I have considered the trip. However, Exeter is closer for me so I will probably go there in November.

Well I went to the Uxbridge show but it was a bit of a washout due to heavy rain downpours. The best in class award for kit Cars was won by a TVR which I thought was cheating, but hey ho.
I'm still planning to be at the Ace Cafe on the 20 August. It would be nice to get a 'gaggle' of Sportsters together if anyone else fancies a lemonade, burger and a natter. (of course any other Marlin's and kit cars are welcome :lol
It's a Saturday lunchtime met up. Not much else to do than meet and chat.
