Stoneleigh Show 2009

Well I have just returned from an amazing kitcar show at Stoneleigh near Coventry. It was advertised as the largest kit car show in the world and I wasn't disappointed, there must have been well over a thousand cars there all looking lovely in the May sunshine. Together with the owners cars were a whole host of show stands with parts suppliers, kit manufacturers all vieing for your business. I went with a large wad of notes in my wallet and came home a whole lot lighter. I purchased a whole host of new tools and also purchased both my engine and carbon seats which look stunning (I will post pictures of these on Monday). I also came across a car on the MK stand that is a similar spec to what mine will be once built, it had a blade engine and was orange with black cycle wings the same colours I have gone for. Anne wasn't convinced by the colour but I thought it looked superb and will certainly not be missed with these colours.
The show was great but what made it so good was the people and the great weather, it was nice to wander around in short sleeve and enjoy the sun.
I will be spending bank holiday Monday (if I am allowed), finishing the garage, I have bought so many bits I need to find somewhere to put them now so they wont interfere with the build until I actually need them. Off to the pub now to enjoy the sunshine, until next time.
