Why is Stanford Hall a 1-day show in the middle of a bank holiday weekend?
I've yet to hear a bad word about this show and I'm really looking forward to my first visit. Is it just me that wishes it was a 2 or 3 day event?
Posted by: 69project - 02 May 2009 07:36:41
my car is sorted,new cylinders and a blocked brake line!!!! :d

[quote=SixtyFive]i won't be going now[/quote]
Me neither!
after replacing just 1 wire wrong on the reg on the 356 yesterday, today the red light was not a happy bunny, fixed now thanks to the voltmeter but too late to leave with a 4hr drive each way for me, also been sick this week and not really up to the drive yet. Pity as I love Stanford :( I am going to get a reputation as a no go show if I'm not careful :lol: 'must try harder'! I wanted to look at the '03 kabs too, drat! Oh well, I get to lay in til lunchtime instead.
