Maybe some of the lads in the North East might want to get along to this show.
Its on from 11:00 to 17:00 on Saturday 28th April. Should be some interesting cars attending.

There is already four Z3 MCs attending. Book ASAP if interested as I'm sure tickets will be limited.

Meet up with the 3 other lads from Z3 MC Forum and went in convoy to the venue. It was a lot bigger affair than I imaged it would be and very well organised.
Aston Workshop seem to specialise in Morgans (small workshop) and Aston Martins, the value of cars they have at their facility must run into many millions. Had a look around the very impressive Aston Martin set up, they have a machine shop, engine assembly shop, preparation shop, body shops, and paint shop. From talking to technicians and mechanics it seems they do everything in house apart from crankshaft grinding and leather upholstery work.
Which one is the barn find!! The Mini Cooper would set you back £83k after total restoration, lottery win required for sure.
Saw BeemerBoyo and his son there having a good look around, hope they enjoyed the day.
I had to leave a little early at 1:00pm as I had to get to Penrith for a football match. Lovely run over Hartside the odd idiot on motorbike plus another in a Radical type sports car overtaking me and a car in front of me approaching a blind crest, if anything coming the other way ......... ?. Saw them both at the car park of the burnt out Hartside Cafe, comparing notes, so think they must use the road as a bit of a race track.
