I'll take it that comment is aimed at me? Given I had the only Fiat there (X1/9)

But if it is I'd have to say that's a load tosh

It's supposed to be tongue in cheek at both of us! As I was hoping to chat in person
and look over the car, but when I went round, there was the car but nobody there.
There are only a real few times I get out and I can't get hit if I stand in the road
by the car I wanted to look over. There was no chance of me getting down into the
cockpit as I'd never get back up
Sorry it was stated badly. And I shouldn't post when I'm having hypos(diabetic)

[Chevash]

Appologies on my part too for taking it the wrong way, I did wonder if you were being tongue in cheek or not...on this occasion I made the wrong decision:)

I didn't spend much time at my car tbh, so its no surprise you had missed me.

I was very surprised how busy the show was this time round, and alo the fact people were staying longer than normal....I left about half 2 I think and loads were still there. Normally by then most people have buggered off.

I'll be back there next year for the 'start of season' show. Cant say if i'll be the in the fiat, chevanne or chevette yet though lol.

Whitby Kustom?

[mitsuru]

they qwill be doing classics as well

[Chevash]

Afraid not, I'm busy this weekend.

[jaycee]

Canny size show for this time of year.

[mitsuru]

I finally found out about the The Ryhope Steam Engines Museum show details as their website
hasn't been updated nor has the northern bygones society.

The Ryhope Sunderland Start of Season Classic Car Show is planned to take place at
Ryhope Engines Museum, The Pumping Station, Waterworks Road, Tyne and Wear,
Sunday 5th April 2015. You may reach the event organisers on 07845 689 534.

Classic cars, vans and bikes, pre 1998 only, and must stay till 3pm. This show is
very popular and space is limited, so we suggest that you get there early.

I got this information today from the website of the Sunderland & District Classic Vehicle Society.

Roll on the show season I say!!

[Chevash]

Ill be there, possibly on 2 wheels for a change.

[mitsuru]

Reminder it is NEXT WEEKEND!!

I will be attending, but forgive me if I don't see you. As I will be trying to focus on the vehicles and
not the people as they don't move so you will need to shout out or give me a poke and identify
yourselves!

See you there if you pardon the pun!

[andyw]

Will be at Ryhope this Sunday - I'll be in the grey shed not the red one though.

[Geordie]

If the weather is dry, I think I'll pop up in the Boxster. It's old enough (pre '98) to get in the gates!

[mitsuru]

Okay a bit of a heads up on the ground situation for tomorrow!

For those who attended previously know that the ground at the rear on top
has a bit of a slop to it and if it has been raining or thick fog it means loss
of traction when moving vehicles!

Those who have seen the photos in my build thread know that I can see up
and down the coast from where I am in Blackhall Rocks. Up to Shields and
down the coast past Maske on the far side of Redcar.

Yesterday it was foggy here and a little rain overnight, so today the garden
is still a little wet and we haven't had enough sun or warmth to dry it out
enough to drive on or to cut it. My garden doesn't have as much tree
coverage/shade as that of the Ryhope grounds so that might fair worse!

Just thought I'd let you know, take care but enjoy yourself.

[Chevash]

I'll definitely be there tomorrow, and as long I don't wake up to rain I'll be riding up on my old Beemer.

My dad is taking my chevette saloon.

[WheelsonCanvas]

I'll be up in the Mustang, see you there

[mitsuru]

Okay I know I missed one or two people but I was in pain and I did get chatting too one or two people
sorry if I missed you at the show! Plus you may have seen me but unless you were standing less than
10 yards away and not inbetween me and the sun I wouldn't have seen you! hence the slightly dodgy photos!

[WheelsonCanvas]

Hope I'm not threadjacking, but there's some more pics from today here:

I was there in the Boxster.

Now nursing a sunburnt face.

Took some pics. Will try and post later or tomorrow.

Walked past your car a few times but no-one about - I'm a bit red about the heed as well
