I was on the AVO stand for some of Friday...still got a good look round...

On the Sporting Bears today...I raised almost £200 giving rides in my noisy rattly old shed...

Chuffed with that...Thanks to all that paid for a drive.

Russ,
Saw the car in the Sporting Bears bit today, she looked a beaut sat amongst some very inferior vehicles!!

I admire all of you guys involved for taking time out at your cost to raise cash for this good cause, and the amount of money that was raised was impressive too

I did come to look for you a couple of times but you weren't around, you are quite elusive as I couldn't find you at the Gaydon, All Ford Show earlier in the year either, do you actually take the car or does someone else take it for you!!

I was there with my mate who had his Model A there and he was quite proud to have the rustiest, dustiest car at the show, but still very cool car

It drew a lot of attention and some of the comments were quite amusing, we liked the one when we overheard someone pointing out that 'it may have been soda blasted'. No, just 80 years in the states and the last few parked in a farmers grain store in the UK and squirted with oil every now and then, no other car finish takes that long to perfect. I'm sure quite a few would have been suprised to know that it is used fairly regularly too, only in the dry though to preserve the dust!

Apologies for the poor quality mobile phone pics.

Was a good show and we had good couple of days there, I did however feel quite ill every time I saw those two 'nurses' walking around and was sure I needed some attention!!

Cheers
Ben
