Looks a good day, I'd have been there but still looking after the wife after op.

Just to reiterate how good the day was, and thank the management for their effort in making this day a splendid meet as usual.
The only let-down for me (no fault of the organisers) was how little autojumble there was. Only one trader (as far as I could tell): gone seem to be the days of vans turning up packed with Volvo goodies. Probably due most traders keeping Sundays sacred to the family or whatever, but with so many people nowadays working shifts meaning work over the weekends, why can't traders do likewise? I mean, a captive audience, so come on and set up your pop-up shop next year please! Otherwise this pensioner will have to seriously consider spending a fair chunk of it on a 300 mile day trip to buy - nothing.
Looking at lovely gleaming cars and meeting so many friends is great, but it doesn't get me that elusive Volvo part, and ebay whilst easy to use doesn't mean you actually get to handle the goods and barter.

First and foremost, I would like to say a BIG well done to everybody that organised this brilliant event, Well done to you all. Hoping to get to the Northern BKV, and looking forward to next years National. Again a well done, and thank you to all involved in making this a brilliant weekend out.

As promised - some of the many I took at Sunday's event. If any owners would like hi-res copies please let me know... I hope I also captured the spirit of the day.

best,
Nick

Were you at the SBKV with your drone as one was flying there, if so do you have the footage you could share please?

Triple-S · Jul 4th, 2017, 22:12

Didn't see you there Carlo! Mind you, neither of us were in cars we know each other for!
