First of all a big thank you to everyone who made the trip down to visit the General Motors Maufacturing Luton plant

The weather was great and the crowds came out





Not all the vehicles turned up but we had a good selection, please accept my apologies to both Rob & Art, yet again I put my finger over the lens of two pictures and one was Rob's Trans Am & Art's Pissan Hopefully Ian has pictures he can post ?

It was really hard doing the judging and a big thanks to Ian for helping

I'm fairly sure Shifty will have his test in the bag before October after arriving on PhilO's Beatch



PhilO's Top Gun Kwacker.

twas a nice visit, had a good look around the mahooosive plant,

well done martini for all ya hard work in organising the car show side of it,
paul swift was impesssive in the vrx cars and the evo...

[philoldsmobile]

yup, really good day out.

i don't doubt for a moment that shifty will breeze the test - for his first proper ride out on the public road (away from the CBT) i must say it looked impressivley natural. all the building blocks are there, and its not going to take a lot of miles for everything to be second nature,  i'm sure a test pass will be in the bag!

No probs mate, glad to be of assistance!!

Indeed was a really good day out, very interesting to wander round sections of the plant and see the various stages of van's.....

Really good turn out it seemed - always lots of people milling about and looking around the cars / bilkes / other

Lets hope that something similar is planned for next year!!

yet again I put my finger over the lens of two pictures

I should explain that I've broken the LCD screen on the back of my pocket digital camera, so I have to look through a tiny tiny view finder to see the picture. This means that it is all too easy to get a digit into the field of view

I'm in the market for a new one, just gotta find the time to buy the right one

had a good look around the mahooosive plant

Hence the reason it's a mahossive job and I'm back in the plant this morning

Although it's actually one of GM's smallest plants, Ellesmere Port for example is nearly double the size

Glad you had a good day, final count of the number of people who attended is +3,279

[Gator]

looks like an ace day well done all involved
