Norcross British Car Fayre – Sept 10, 2011

[Dangermouse]

My favorite show of the year, partially because it is local but mainly because it caters to the cars of my youth.

Anyone showing, or attending?

Last year there was an owner called Steve showing, and the year before that Mark C was there.

It’s on the same day as the United way Car Show over at the UPS facility in Roswell, so you can make a day of it. The UW show is a more general show, with some great 'Merican cars. DMCTalk member RunDMC is usually involved with this one.

Looks like my wife has plans on that day, I might be able to make a trip to Norcross. Be a good time get my steering rack boots back from Dermot's clutches.

[Dangermouse]

Be sure to let me know which show you will be going to (so I can go to the other and "forget" the boots)

I have the Norcross show on my calendar. Not 100% sure if I'm going with the car yet, will see as it gets closer. If someone else here went with me with their D, that would certainly make it more fun.

Yea, this sounded great, but I aint gonna make it. Have some family stuff saturday.

I will be there as a spectator with my son. A bunch of guys from my office will be there also so I warned them to go check out what a nice DeLorean looks like.

You keep teasing me with those boots. I'll you know by tomorrow.

Don't worry, there's always the chance that I will forget them again

Show was great. Doug had a prime spot in the shade right at the entrance to the show. Car looked great, parked beside an Aston previously owned by some dude called Michael Jordan. Fellow DMCTalkers Derek and Mike S also showed up, sans D's.

My favorite Mini was there with a 200HP Mugen Honda engine, and the owner has now converted it to AWD. Must be fun to drive.

They also had a Beecham Jag - a 1962 Jaguar shipped to NewZealand and fitted with a 4.2 V8 and updated interior

How convenient! Thanks for the pics.

[Dangermouse]

My buddy was at this with a proper camera and he gave me his pics today. Amazing the difference in quality (look at the mini one above this post)

He did some work on the light levels of Dougs car.
