My lad and I will certainly be there for the two days. Arriving in the day driver but it's likely my MEVX5 will be on the MEV/RTR stand. May also have the Eco-Exo trike there. I would doubt the Sammio will be anywhere near ready to show by then (but stranger things have happened).
Looking forward to putting faces to names. We're likely staying down in Warwick. Anyone else staying close?
Mike and I will be trying to find a local Hotel that has a single room with bunk beds for the weekend.....stayed in Coventry last time , town centre ...won't be going back
I'll definately be there for one of the days, although im not sure i'll be allowed a full weekend pass!
I'm still building confidence with my Sammio atm and i'm going on longer and longer drives, so hopefully by Stoneleigh i'll be fine with the trek up from Zumerset.
I suspect that the weather may dictate which day I go
I was in the daily drive last year and in the main car park. What do we have to do to get the cars "inside"? Gary, do you have space for us to cluster near you? I promise I wont show you up, although that may depend on if Pat behaves
I will be there for 1 day - hopefully in the roadster
I might bring the wife or a friend who is interested in the cordite.
What will be there Garry - i guess a G46 and a Cordite
I look forward to meeting some of you there
WE ARE DEFINITELY GOING TO TAKE A CORDITE AT SOME STAGE OF COMPLETION.....Won't have a G46 ready but might rustle up a Spyder to put on the stall as well.....contrast between the 2 Triumphs would be cool....
I need to get a G46 in paint and fitted up before I really push that marque properly....
Well, I was intending to go, but only to see the G46. Before placing an order I need to see one in the flesh (and discuss the mods I've talked about) but if it's not going to be there, there's no point in me going.
It's a bit disappointing as I've got a whole day in the garage tomorrow to finish the LHF suspension rebuild, then I'm off to see Paul at ppctvr on Staurday to sort getting my engine back. The new 'box is in the garage waiting so by May I'll have a rolling chassis ready to start sorting out locating the engine mounts, but I won't be able to do that until I know for sure what body I'll be fitting.
Thats a shame ....I cannot take everything , we just dont have the man power or budget to do that.
I took the G46 to Exeter and kinda wished I hadn't ....we sold a few , but it didn't look great.
It needs to be in colour and then I know we will be on a roll.....
Its a bit of a trek for us to Coventry and I am hoping to get the same spot as last time , which means we will only need to take a Cordite and hopefully some attending Spyders can hang around on and in front of my stall to display that marque for us......
If you do decide to attend ....come and say hello anyway.

No worries. I appreciate that, you have to show your products in their best light. It's just a bit frustrating that I'm at a point where I want to get on with the build (damn thing has been sitting on my drive for about 18 months already, lol) but I don't want to make decisions "blind".
TBH it would be better for me to see it "in development" at your workshop rather than at the show anyway, it's just that (according to Google Directions anyway) it's about a 7 hour round trip from here to your place and, based upon my cars economy, would use at least a tank of fuel, so it was something I was hoping to avoid... still, I have loads of TOIL built up at the moment...
If I do come I'll definitely say hello as it would be useful to have a chat about the car and potential mods anyway.
mell just said we can stay for the whole weekend in a tent, so we will get 2 days at the show,so if you see my tent rocking, ya now its windy outside. might even have the sammio there if she passes the MOT.. look forward to meeting up...with the sammio clan

Would be great if the car was ready......see you soon...
Hi Guys, count me in. Not sure if I will be staying for one or two days, but hope to get a few bits for my build ;-). Might bring a tent, but only have a brand new four or six man tent. Bought for me and my son to do a help for Hero's rally, but he sustained an injury doing a triathlon and had to drop out. Bl**dy RAF officers, still he's all mended which is more than I can say about my build. If anyone wants to share the tent, with seperate rooms don't you know, message me and we can plan. I will be able to decide how long I stay if I know what others are doing.
Hi De Hi, my wonderful wife who thinks this is all a load of twaddle (what do fitness instructors know?) says my tent is a six man/woman to stay politically correct. I will most likely be alone, but if anyone wanted to share the tent, I would be convinced to stay the two days.

OK Len, step into the confession box, take a seat. She who (thinks she) is being obeyed is actually nuts about cars and is gagging to see some built Sammios. We have stupid car clubbie (hence the confession) things to do with Jaguars the same weekend but hoping to make a flying visit on Sunday en route from West London to Goodwood. Well, it's on the way innit?
