There's a good chance they might even have come from the same dealership when new! And my Sigma was first owned by a Buckinghamshire company and Mr Fowlers Volvo was a Horsham /Gatwick car local to me! davidfowler2000 and Ghosty 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianamk Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 I will tow the company line for the first paragraph. Thank you all who attended, it takes a huge amount of planning and we all volunteer to man the event....its not in our contract to impersonate a Police officer or dress like an 80s keep fit fanatic. It's nice to see our efforts resulted in an enjoyable day! Now,towing the personal line. I am well aware I let a "few" Autoshite members into the classic car parking without a ticket, I'm yet to receive your bribes so a parking ticket is on route!! However, I refused to put a faded MK3 cavalier into a carpark,surround by dull plastic blobs........I may or maybe not be responsible for parking a certain car near the toilets. If you have any images of me wafting around or abandoning the Defender,feel free to share! Never under estimate what 90m of red electrical tape can do! If you have any feedback or ideas,feel free to PM me. Sudsprint, Mrs6C, jumpingjehovahs and 16 others 15 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianamk Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 By the time we got to 10:30, both me and my fellow officer of the law were exhausted! Basically we were being more flamboyant in our directions and clapping every italian car.....mearly waving non Italians in. Surprised I missed a Ferrari ! The idea of the Carabinieri was conceived on Tuesday afternoon, Wednesday morning was ordering army surplus trousers(they are genuine 1983 Carabinieri trousers) followed by purchasing 120m of red leccy tape from screw fix.....only 90m was used on the Landy. The stickering was done in my single garage as it was raining outside.....hence the wonky effort. So when I said months of planning.....slot is last minute.

Jon Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Trigger winning a plastic mug makes news in New Zealand: https://www.stuff.co.nz/motoring/news/114449730/unexceptional-morris-marina-estate-wins-grand-motor-show-title#comments Apologies in advance for the 'news' link - I usually avoid stuff.co.nz like the plague but was searching for another atricle someone had mentioned to me. Anyway, it reads like many other stories I've read online covering the event, so is mostly directly quoted press release. But whatever, Trigger is now famous* in both hemispheres! Anyone got any other links to other foreign countries picking up the story?

Zelandeth Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Seems like this is probably the most logical place for me to dump my photos from the day, in no particular order. I've not seen these on an actual monitor yet, so forgive me if they're still in need of some editing.
