Stuart, magnificent effort, excellent display and brilliant show. Thanks for putting it together and to all who assisted.

I had a great time, gleaned a huge amount of useful information and met B20 and Gussie owners who are in a similar position to me, in the middle of restorations. Much swapping of tales of agony and expense, but agreement that it was most definitely worth it and  tentative arrangements made to meet up.

I hope everyone got home safely and without trauma.

I am now waiting with eager anticipation for next year !!!!

A few words from the press officer (who is still recovering!)  ;D

First of all, Stuart - you're a star! Thank you for organising such a wonderful stand and all your hard work!

I know everyone says this, but it was really great to meet all of you this weekend. Thank you to everyone involved and everyone who came over to say hi. And of course, my own personal thank you to everyone for being helpful and patient with me - I know it must have been such a hard work! ;D

Beta Boys (and Girls!) - was lovely to meet you all, roll on 2012 and Beta 40th!

The Monte crowd... one word - priceless. I'm seriously considering getting a Monte now! ;D

A very enjoyable 4 days inspite of the Volvo rear brakes falling apart on arrival at the NEC, the RAC were brilliant all fixed within an hour of the phone call!  The journey home was happily trouble free although it was 10.30pm when we got there.

I think my legs are just about back to normal.

Await with interest the photos of the Monte boys in the Artena.

Special thanks to Stuart hope you have a good rest.

Well done Stuart - a great collection of cars! - and well done to everyone who spent so much time organising the stand and the displays and devoted a great deal of the weekend talking to the many visitors....and my car was very flattered to be asked to attend!  The Lancia Club does do variety better than anyone else!

Your car could have been sold at least three times whilst I was on the stand on Saturday......you're very lucky to get it back  :D

One of the biggest twinges of homesickness I've had, seeing Tony's photos.  Well done all.
