Each to their own fella , not for me. IMHO they look naff while some are mildly interesting . Either way I'd rather spend time on the car .... You need to look at some at the rsoc shows . They are jacked up and carpet rolled out , stainless steel plinths for the wheels and mirror tiles under neath .... Naff is an understatement but they get a lot of pleasure out of it . I'd be a tad embarrassed

Like I said...not my thing either... Im not about to print up fact sheets about my slightly scruffy RR being owned for the 1st 12 years of its life by the Vice President of Led Zeppelins record label
..but if someone wants to do that sort of thing I reckon live and let live

Just been looking at the pictures for the concourse at at Combe ( I was booked in but had double booked with a show my uncle runs ) and there's some very very over the top stuff there . The one that was best in show today was a superb Austin chummy , mint but deffo used

Decision made guys

In view of half being for and half being against the idea of either a folder or noticeboard, and in wanting to emphasize the fact that my boy has been owned and driven for the past 17yrs when I attend the show, I've decided to print something up on A4 paper so that passers by will see it (stuck to a window or on the dashboard), and to also take along my 'to do' list of works completed this year (maybe a few invoices too) so that if anyone 'is' interested in wanting to know more, I'll have the information to hand...nice and simple, and makes the point without overly doing it.
