Just to echo what has already been said - what a great weekend. DNA hospitality was superb, we had Mediterranean weather, but most importantly - what a nice bunch of people to spend it with. I really enjoyed myself, so thank you for that.

Now for the apologies  :-[
Mark, Wendy, sorry about the loud Zzzzz, I'll pitch up in next field at Newark  :D.       
Some of the burgers and sausages may have been a tad burnt or had that earthy taste to them ( may have dropped a few of them on the ground !!)
Sorry I missed out on speaking to some of the other DNA fraternity that turned up, Tricky, Sundog .

Tenpin, now that's some riddle. Any clues?

Thought I'd post some pics but can't get the file size small enough to upload >:(

Tenpin, the idea of show plates for the cars was discussed. Maybe with DNA in large font and then your Forum name in smaller font underneath. We would then display them at all the shows, I think it would look smart. We could even think about T shirts along the same line. Perhaps we could get them done at Newark. If we all do it together we can make sure of a uniform look.

Just spent the whole day dressing the callipers on my 430....looks really good with bleed nipple and braded pipe attached.

You were to busy with the DNA fan club's number one fan ;D didn't want to butt in and have that guy follow me around for the rest of the day so stayed clear

Yes, looks good. What does everyone else think?
I was thinking DNA in big print then forum name in small print underneath.
Similar to the plate Costa had on his 360, it looked the biz.
As long as we all go for the same look or it will look a bit naff.

Good idea on the plates. I think just  DNA  on the plate with just the owners club or screen name at the bottom.

I already wear a "uniform" on the stand.  Black shirt (or red would look OK, but I prefer black, with DNAOC on the left breast.  I also have red polo shirt similar.

Not all problems can be solved with gaffer tape.  For those there is WD40.
Not even gaffer tape can fix stupid, but it can mask the sound.

If you can’t buy it or steal it you have to make it.

As some of you may know I already have a set of plates with DNA on them which I used on my 3Sixty, also the subject of logo'd t-shirts has also been discussed frequently.
I'll start a new topic on these subjects in  the owners only section as that seems the most appropriate place for that discussion.

As for a great end to a great show.... and things to make people jealous....  ;)

When everyone else had gone there were just two cars left - one was red and the other blue... (see pic)

With apologies to anyone who wanted to claim first sit-in rights to the DN8, I was allowed that privilege OUTside of the show hall.  8)  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Somehow  ::) , a little later on, I found myself in possession of a Ford key which didn't work in my 5cudo, well, those keys all look alike, don't they?

What can I say? Perhaps it was the RED mist, or that the gate to the field was left open...

Anyway, I took the DN8 out for a drive  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Right from the start it felt amazing, the speed bumps at Stoneleigh - no problem! I'm sure there must be a speed limit on site - it's just finding where to put that decimal point (10.0 or was that 100). So, I wouldn't have gone faster than that. The car felt planted on the road, giving the confidence to make 'reasonable' progress  ;) , corners - no problem either.
I'd have loved to really throw it round the bends  ;) and fully explore its' roadholding and its' ability to soak up the 'smooth' undulations that are the current state of the UK roads  ;) , but I was mindful that this was DNA's pride and joy (not to mention that I might have been very unpopular if I'd broken it!). I've got a few good roads in mind which I think would be fun in it.
Let me see, I took my 5cudo to John O'Groats last year....
I want one, oh, did I say that out aloud  :-[

My god that 5cudo is stunning.

Of course the DN8 is great too, but that 5cudo is no slouch by anyone's standard.

I owned an LP400 back in the 80's

Among the worst I've owned. Sold it super quick. The guy who bought it was an 'identity' - the knucklehead painted it pink, trimmed it in mink and if all that wasn't enough cut a damn hole in the roof and stuck one of those pop up glass sunroofs in it.

He went to prison shortly after

:D
