Gone a bit OT but going back to the original question, first mini show for me in 10+ years, good to see all the minis but dissapointinly few Elf's (3 I saw) and Hornets (0) from my perspective.

Managed to pick up:

NOS Hornet grill surround
enough Hornet chrome bits to make a full set with the stuff I already have
a load of bits of the guy with the trailer outside (£10 - what a bargain!)
A nice 60's roof rack (Found in the TMF classifieds and picked up on the day)

Also dropped off the interior with Retro Retrims.

Didn't get to chat with that many people as I was too busy buying bits but put a few faces to TMF ID's which is always nice. Even made it for the 2nd TMF photo (Orange jacket).

I got a fire extinguiser and CF switch panel cover.

Also lots of free laughs and pleasure from putting faces to names

[miniman retford]

I got a cat replacement pipe & a set of air horns !

As a member of TMF & Mini obsession i like to think i can get on with everybody !

Could you put a face to my name or did the shirt give it away, or the rhubarb and custard bar

What about your shirt gave it away?

Nah the sweet headunit gave it away

Thanks for reporting the thread stroker.

As said, this thread is about the Malvern show and showing and pictures that you have. If you cannot participate in the thread in adult manner and simply get a along with eachother. Don't post here. It's as simple as that.

To anyone that's intending to stir up trouble regarding show stands, and 'competition' between clubs, Please do not. Most people here are perfectly able to get along nicely however it only takes one to ruin it for everyone else.

I appreciate everyone's co-operation with this. (infact the whole forum would appreciate this.)

I look forward to seeing some more pictures of Malvern, unfortunatley i had to miss the show but was intending to mosey on down there, never mind, plenty of other shows to get to.

Guys,

The thread is about the show, not about arguing between forums, as a result the moderator team are going to have to tidy this up again, and I am closing this thread to allow us to do this.

I can only apologise to the members of TMF and M-Ob for having to kick you all out while we do the housework.

Dave

haha, that was somewhat funny! the worst thing was i took it back to the stall as he said i could try it and my dodgy one eye took me to the wrong stand then the bloke chased me up about an hour later before leaving, i explained my genuine honest mistake and had to pay the guy £5 for a motor which i didnt have anymore as i took it to the stand to the left. I mean how blind can one man be?
