See you all there

Good day and nice drive down, and good to see you all.

Agreed and ditto. I'm looking cool in my MG fleece......maybe ;-)

Enjoyed the meet up and the drive, thought the show/market was geared to older MG's though, couldn't find much, if anything for the Zed's

Definite gap in the market for someone to fill at this show as MG lifestyles stand was really busy.

I agree.Took a load of photos of all the cars, chatted to a few guys and then went home.
I enjoyed the convoy and the nice drive home in the afternoon sun but the show itself was all a bit 'scrapheap challenge' for me. As you say, it's geared up for what I assume they view as real MG cars.
MG Lifestyles stand was very busy, passed a few times and had to turn round, couldn't get near it. Hope they get some business and KV6 conversion jobs out of it.

As I walked back to the car I got looking at that Shotsilk ZT 415 and the owner came along. He's the owner of Summit Garage and also owns an SV, then Stu C came along who owns the Mirage 260 which has high lift cams and sounds like a powerboat.
