Baggy Joe will be on the MECUK stand (if I ever get him back together!)

See you there Andy,
My Murena will be joining Baggy Joe on the stand, as you are probably aware. I'll be attending all three days, so look forward to putting faces to our friends who come along.

Why is it more expensive on Friday? I was planning on going on Friday but due to a change of plan Saturday suited better.
I used the "CLUBS09" promo code from the RS Owners Club (not that I am a member - but I know a man who is!) and got a discount.

Baggy Joe and I arrived on Thursday afternoon in pouring rain. Glad I hadn't washed him!
I have not seen the completed Matra stand but on the left we have the Greig Dalgleish beautifully restored Bagheera S1 in pale blue, then Baggy Joe low and scruffy in bright yellow but very much looking like a serious competition car (well I would say that wouldn't I?), then a newly restored and very pretty Rene Bonnet Djet (from the Bowman father and sons team) in silver with black stripes, the Tim Boyes Murena with the Ford Zetec 2Litre engine transplant also in bright yellow and finally the dark red 16L Murena from Titus. What a line-up!
See you on Sunday.

Camera's in the car. Batteries good. Memory empty.
I'll try and remember to take the pictures! That's my usual problem!

Same here I'm afraid. So much to see and so little time. Went on Friday and it's taken the rest of the weekend to recover after spending over 5 hours walking round, on top of a 7 hour return drive. Supercharger is looking good, keep up the good work!Title: Re: NEC Classic Car Show

Just a quick well done to all involved with the NEC show, I must say the I thought the Matra stand looked very good and showed off our a healthy range of what Matra (+ MEC) has to offer, be it the VERY nice Rene Bonnet, bugs, standard or prepped Murenas.
Thanks,
David
PS sorry but i didnt take any pictures...
