I'm going to be with there with a trade stall for my new venture
www.cleanyourcar.co.uk Which is quite scary!
Anyway please come over and say hello and of course buy lots of products
I will be doing demo's all day on my car if all goes to plan and my better half will be selling.
Cheers Tim

Tim - If you need an opportunity to show off the porter cable and associated products on a rather swirly sprint blue then let me know
In all seriousness if i can get to this do you think you could bring along the polisher, transformer etc. if it arrives in time?

Will be interested to have a chat about all the clays etc and how best to use your products. I don't envy you trying to demonstrate though if it is gonna be a baking hot day

Slimtim, maybe you could take a gazebo and have a car parked under it to demonstrate.
I'll be bringing one with me and if we don't use it you are more than welcome too!!

Cheers for the offer, although I have already got a couple of gazbos. I was going to offer to do someones car, but it's just too much pressure to get it done in the time on the day. Instead, rather than hiring a van, we are coming down in a Audi and my coupe and demoing some of the products on my car. Also just had 400 leaflets made up that need distributing on the day. So i'm going to be plenty busy.

So who is going on the stand from this forum???
Just seen a map for the show and FCCUK have a stand plot opposite the Fiatforum stand.
I would have plumped to go on the stand for this forum but didn't notice anything posted so went with the fiatforum instead.
A little disappointed now but hey I'll pop over and say hello to whoever is there.

If there's a stand I'll be on it assuming we just turn up and say we're in the club? Flash our cards and rucksacks?

I'll be there about 1pm. Went last year, not many Coupes there though! It's a good day out so let's make sure we're there showing off our machines in force!

Good showing from the coupes, those ferrari's are 10 a penny going by todays numbers. I always thought the coupe was for a select few
.Given the car a coat of Nattys paste wax I bought from SlimTim and have to say it seems great. Easy on and off and looks the buisness (and Im not on commission!). I even smell like I have taken an overdose of bubblegum now.

That's the one that smells like Hubba Bubba isn't it?!!!
Didn't know whether to smell it or eat it.
Didn't buy any as I'd end up licking it all back off my car!!
Biggest turn out I'd ever seen of porto blues too!!

My neck was well and truely fried!
Nice to meet lots of new people as well. Not a bad turnout for the coupe owners either.
Don't think i'll be going again as a trader, Italian car owners must be tight!
Taffy love this picture of mine. Could you send me the full hi-res one of it to sales 'at' cleanyourcar.co.uk

Indeed was a good day, and I was proud to be the only Sprint Blue in the line up by the fence!
Enjoyed chatting to you Crash, was nice to meet some fellow owners on the day. Just glad i managed to get it clean before i set off!
And yes, i got thoroughly burnt to a crisp too...glorious weather, not so glorious sunburn

Good day all round, nice to meet a few more owners and soak up a few rays. my only gripe would be the lack of stalls/traders selling bits and bobs, would have had no problem if you had wanted a model but apart from that there was nothing really (apart from some dodgy geeza who sold me some bubble gum smelling wax). And on that note, I can recomend the poorboys wax as after the rain we had today the car still looks in great shape.

Just worked something out, I used 1/2 a tank of fuel to get to the show, that's 190 miles away plus a bit od driving around Coventry the night before and the morning so probably about 200 miles on half a tank of fuel!!!!
Don't know about the way back but pretty much the same, maybe a little more after Taffy's and mine drag race from the M6 toll plaza!!

I enjoyed it but i think the club could have done with a stand or at least a banner so people knew what/who we were. Does the club have this? (this was my first show so i may be wrong - don't be angry with me!)

Re: 11th june Stanford Hall The Italian Car Concours - 13/06/2006 15:35
No need to be angry at anyone matey!!
I'm arranging a stand for the show at Santa Pod in August, see another thread for more info. Come along the more the merrier!!
I think Scooby and Bobbs will hopefully be there with a club banner too!!!!!

I think the owner of the Lambo in my picture dscn1738 could do with visting cleanyourcar.co.uk as it's covered in smears!
Slimtim - like your web site and i'm tempted to buy your "starter pack".

Colin, we do sometimes have a stand at Auto Italia events but it relies on having someone transporting it there, setting it up, taking it down, transporting it back, giving up their weekends etc.

I think the current issue of Auto Italia has the show report but the website is unclear. Anyone near a newsagent?
