Warm sunny weather. Hundreds of Kit Cars. A host of
manufacturers. All the Owners Clubs. Masses of Trade & Accessory stands.
What did all this add up to........A brilliant Two days.
JBA were there with two owners cars on their
stand, a white sports just through the SVA and owned and built by Malcolm
Edge also a regular car on the stand was Keith Morrish's burgundy Tourer.
Keith has added polished stainless steel straps to his boot this year.
There was a large JBA Owners Club presence. I think someone
counted 47 owners cars plus 2 on the JBA stand and 1 for sale
elsewhere.

Guust Poppe one of our Dutch friends from Holland
is pictured above in conversation with another owner. Guust is the fair
haired chap dressed in black.
 We had a visit from Geoff Payne
M.B.E.
The founder
member of the JBA Owners Club.
Geoff started the owners club in 1987 and is
pictured here with his JBA Javelin.
Geoff is a genial gentleman who sometimes
reminds me of someone who appears once a year at Christmas.
I had made arrangements with Doug Philip from Broughty Ferry to
meet him at the show. Most of our day was taken up going round the trade
stands and selecting components for his build. The time just seemed to fly.
I thoroughly enjoyed reliving
the experience, especially as Doug was
paying.

Many owners brought caravans and tents to stay overnight and
provided their own entertainment, which made for an exciting and pleasurable
evening. |
 Sunday
evening I had a great night out.
Thanks to Dave and Ken from JBA, David and Jayne Young of Beauford Cars and
an old friend Keith Morrish.
David and Jayne are very jovial people and I
didn't stop laughing all night ye ken (you know).
Dave Ashley left early accompanied by Keith and Jayne, as he was going
jogging in the morning. Ken, David and myself stayed on to have
another drink.

Well absolutely Fantastic! I was overwhelmed
by the size of the show.
I met many old friends and made some new ones and had a chat with our Dutch
visitors. Stuart took this photo of me with Manfreds car so that I could
send it to Leo. I wore the distinctive jersey so that people I was in Email
contact with could pick me out.
I still did not find Russell Smith although I
found his car. Stuart Kelly managed to spot me. A lot of the photos
you will see on this site are thanks to Stuart. Just wished I could
have spent more time talking. Hope to return next year and meet you all
again.
