vulgalour Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 The Maestro is getting a new tailgate. Or rather, an old tailgate that's not rotten where mine is so I can make one good tailgate out of the two. I was wondering how to get it from Nottingham when it turned out a friend was actually going to be in Nottingham and heading down to Kent so that sorted that out nicely. I'm finding once again that there are some supremely generous people in the Maestro owning... scene? Anyway, they make looking after one very easy and quite rewarding. adw1977, myglaren, inconsistant and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gm Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 I'm just back from an excellent day out courtesy of @DVee8 who invited me to join him, Dvee8 Jr and his mate Andy at the NEC classic car show - I've never been to such an event so wasn't really sure what to expect but I thoroughly enjoyed myself from start to end. I'm sure there was plenty that we didn't manage to see but what we did see was smashing, what a fantastic selection of cars and a great bunch of people. Massive thanks to @DVee8 for inviting me, doing all the driving and an all round top day out ! some pics we said hello to @dollywobbler and TWC (our non AS companions were mildy confused by this behaviour) lambretta & sidecar, for when you really don't like your passenger ? imagine the racket we took turns sitting in the Ami, not as flimsy as expected I spent ages on the Exocet stand but somehow only managed to take on photo ! (nice digital dash but why the wiper stalk ?) a grand day out ! cheers Dvee8 eddyramrod, LightBulbFun, privatewire and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wack Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 I went about 15 years ago , there was a guy on the bentley stand who's job it was to wipe the fingerprints off the cars , he lost it a bit and shouted at some kids until their dad had a word , told him if they didn't touch the cars he wouldn't have a job, in a manner that said speak to my kids like that again and you'll be waking up tomorrow with a few less teeth. loserone and Banger Kenny 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure I saw that Maestro van parked up just off the Edinburgh City Bypass, meant to grab a photo Thank you kindly. I need to get the birds Daihatsu through the MOT just so I can get another endorphin high. MOT passes would be an unusual addiction. The Maestro van was mega late and looked a little ‘odd’ somehow.
