OK, you happy now BB?

We're booked, flying in on the Fri lunch time, flying back on the Sun afternoon. (any tea leaf's reading this the dog isn't coming with us  :wink: )
Anybody else going feel like saying hello over a coffee or a beer wave.

I would expect to at least see CC and with any luck Spud, my shout.

Bugger, was there the whole weekend, wished I had known you were there Sin. We were the idiots with the barn find DS and the bright yellow kitty litter tray

Bugger indeed  :doubt whole weekend, including showing a visiting Singapore couple around, still could have happily spent another day. managed to get Guy Martin's signature for a Japanese friend who thinks he is "compreetery clackers"

Missus got to go for a ride in an Austin Healy BJ8, one of my favourite cars, I'd like to have seen the bike section a bit bigger, missing a few of the marks I'd expected to see, Ariel etc. and not as many of the specialist bike restoration companies as I had hoped for, too many "market trader" clothing sales if you know what I mean. I spotted a nice vintage Lewis Leathers jacket that fitted and took my fancy for the Thruxton but I nearly spat up my frosties when the joker selling it asked for 600 quid  :pottytrain2

Went into to town for a walk through the German market, good weekend in all, hope you enjoyed it too.
