One out of those three delicious models Martyn has built came home with me Sean....The Ford 8100, along with quite a few other things beside. I've had another absolutely brilliant day down at Spalding. Great to catch up with so many good friends, and one or two new faces aswell. Best get my cargo unpacked! :)....Photographs to follow in due course aswell. :)

The 8100 is real nice. But the rear wheels look alittle on the small side, 16,9 R34s is what they seem to represent . 

be very careful justy,i picked up a couple of things on a model on here once and was nearly run off the forum,beware

Thankyou to those of you who much all the effort to make the show so good.

got back at 2 am this morning of visiting the spring show. I enjoyed it tremendously, great to see a good few friends and forum members again. nice to finally meet  gav and chris!

 

i think i chatted so much, i forgot to buy models, around 3 pm i still hadnt spent over 30 pounds, while normally i would have had two trips to the cash withdrawel machine thingy already :P

 

luckily i was able to make up for that at useless tractor shop, i mean, uts of course of the tremendous bazza and the always charming jacs and superhelp steve..

 

with pain in my blue heart a red model came home with me...........................

 

too bad it was over that quickly, but there is always next year, or maybe even earlier!

 

now mr D.click click, get on with putting them pictures up already ;)

Someone help us look at those two horrible urbuts

Great show, best Spalding for a few years I'd say

So much banter

Thanks to all you weirdos who came and said hello and to all of you who spent some of your hard earned cash with us.
