Hello everyone,
I am thinking of taking my car along to Matching Green on Sunday. Do say hello if anyone else is coming along.
All the best

Hiya,
I think Stuart Nicholls and some of the Herts/Essex members will probably go to this, they
do most years (as I did in 2005 when I still lived 'daan saaf')
Just noticed your vin - only three away from RichH, our DOC-UK Technical Advisor! Where
did your car come from? Did you import it or buy it in the UK?
Cheers,

Hey guys,
Yes - I think I remember talking to you Claire - I can't believe that it was 4 years ago! I remember at that time I had this weird idea of sticking a Wankel Rortary engine inside a Delorean! (I believe this has since been done). Since then I've come round to the fact that it might not be a good idea :?
I bought the Car via Martin G from a guy who had moved back to the states. It has been wrapped up in storage since the mid 90's and I think was shipped over in about 1990. Its not in bad nic'. Black interior & auto box.
A - thanks for the info on my car. I would love to meet up, but I'm going away for a week straight after the show so can't do it then. Perhaps there might be another opportunity over the summer.
Heres hoping the weather holds....
Cheers
Steve

Nice one Dan
Not sure my car will be much of a threat to the competition this year, but should be a nice day out though.

They did a quiz in the arena called "A Question of Sports Cars" or summat when we all went
in 2005, and it ended up being the DOC-UK versus the Hot Rod's - we won!!
I've still got the DVD of Matching Green 2005, will have to dig it out and watch it again sometime
