I second that, it was great to see everyone yesterday, was good to meet Pierrick of whom I briefly spoke to many moons ago, nice to see the Frisky Sport shoot past me when walking from the station!
I had a fairly long chat with the owner/constructor of the wooden bodied 2CV based car, not only had the body been laid up by hand using wooden strips bonded around ply sections, (bit like building a model airplane fuselage), but a portion of the front had actually been steamed! Intriguingly his wife explained how he'd very cleverly utilized some of her kitchen implements, for example: the front grill surround was originally a serving dish, the ports either side were from the bottom of another metal dish of some description, whilst the central piece of the windscreen frame was actually crafted from a large serving spoon.
Rob, I forgive you for not recognizing me, looks like I've been out of the loop too long, though much impressed by the Hammond's improvements to the site since I was last there, roll on next year.
