Nice work Paul - you must have left early. Tunnel was open time we came through. Looks like a trophy winning wagon I see there...

A great day.. I walked away with 4 turds .(3rds).
Quite chuffed with that.

There werent as many cars in the theme catagory(salt flat racer). Maybe there'll be a few more for next years them... Fish and Chips!
My mind is spinning round ideas to "play up" this theme..

I was thinking maybe they should consider breaking up the years a little different to increase the numbers on some of the tables and avoid having one overcrowded one as they did.

Pre 1940
1940 to 1950
1950 to 1960
1960 to current.

The other categories were good, just a shame there were not more models on the tables, but I guess that's down to us modellers to fix.
