She looks superb. The colour really suits it. Do you know what points you got for each section? Surely they must of 10's throughout bar one....

"Bean" on this forum bought that Van from me, I wanted it for the seats, steering wheel and horn push - it was a total wreck that had been placed underneath a car that crushed it...
Not sure about the points scores, I got 194/200 though so pretty pleased.

I skipped it, 150 miles to an outdoor show where 60 mile winds and thunderstorms were forecast... Not how I want to spend 1 of the only 2 days I get off in a week. Pity, but still 2 shows left this year.

That's understandable I only live 20 minutes away and I didn't fancy the wind and rain either.
I think I'm pretty much done for shows this year (not that I actually made it to one) so will concentrate on the Van and hopefully it will be ready for next year.
Will have to think about a Van meet somewhere.

1st Place at MiniFest2 today, really pleased as it was a class for 60's vehicles rather than just commercials.
Some cheeky devils seemed to think that my Van doesn't go out unless it is sunny:
I ended up on the British Mini Club stand as they needed an extra, was happy to have my car on display in the main hall 
Got a nice trophy to end the day

Well done Chris! Very well deserved I just love this photo - you need to keep a copy with the van
