My take on this discussion.......
I think Balmy should have tried to find these models & invited them to this years
Show, to recreate the same poses on the bonnet of the marinas, in similar clothing...
As they are now......
Fancy a granny on your bonnet ???.... :crazy: :crazy: :lol: :lol:

I'd like to say thanks to Balmy and all the crew for a great day on Saturday, a good quiet run down in the morning, a good laugh all day, probably something to do with Gil!!!

I had a good run home, but do my legs ache today!!!??!!

Its quite amazing the people you meet and the questions you get asked, the picture of the Foden rally car will be put up in the garage, nice to talk to Ian and Gary.
