We made it !
Great show and lovely mince pies - thank you to every one who helped out over the weekend
Brilliant John. As usual, you (and Jeremy) aren't in the photo and yet we all know you're both putting in the most. Paul (and Johnny) are in the photo - so at least some recognition for the stars!
I really liked the vehicle line up - only one stock R8 on the stand - with an SD3 and an R3 streetwise I think we've made the transition to the all-inclusive club
Sorry I couldn't be with you on Sunday for the tear down - I know the gazebo now means the requisite number of people is at least 4, but it looks like you had enough help. Sorry I missed the mince pies too
Another great show presence and an absolute credit to everyone who contributes to the club and the 200/400 cause.

I had a quick chat with the owner of the race car when he picked it up after the show.
He plans to get it out and about to a few track days next year and a warm welcome will be extended to any club members who show an interest in it.
He plans to use the car to encourage the next generation of grassroots motorsport competitors

Glad everybody enjoyed it
It is tiring but very worthwhile and it stands us in good stead for the next two very busy years, with SD3/R8 anniversaries in 2019 followed by HH-R/R3 in 2020.
Our feet won't touch the floor!

Just to start the planning for next year maybe try for the earliest and latest cars?
correct me if wrong:
d reg sd3 or g reg
g reg r8 or t reg
v reg hhr or 55 reg
so a plan for 3 car showing progression.
or mk1, 2 and 3 r8
