Powderham show near Exeter.

Post by balmy » Tue Jul 14, 2009 6:35 pm

I attended the Annual Powderham show with Richard, Dave (black tulip tc), Kev (Fruity) on Sunday.

Although I have only met Dave a couple of times ( and his son and father in law ) and had only briefly met Richard last week at the nationals ( Kev is a good friend of mine of many years :roll: ) we all bonded quickly ( ! ) and through great team work we had the new gazebo up in record time..........and all in the rain. :mrgreen: Richard set up the regalia and provided the banners. By god, we looked profesional and good. 8)

We had some very good comments on the cars and I always feel the proof as such is when people stop to take photos and we had a fair few of them! :D

I think most people where surprised at how original all the cars where and that Kev's is a daily driver.

For those that dont know:

Ital-Richards
Tundra green coupe-Kev
Black tulip TC-Dave's
Blaze orange TC-Mine

Photos are on this link below.

Three of us ( Kev, Dave and myself )will be at Paignton show on the 26th. Will post some photos of that one too!

Hope you like! :P

I think we have to be in place by 10 o'clock. I am coming from Somerset,(about 2 hours drive!), so I will be leaving home around 7:30 ish, and hope there is not much traffic about!

See you there, Dave.
