Peter: The show was a lot of fun to attend and I guess "sleeper" would be the right word. Jim puts on a great event every year, and there are always a number of great deals, but wou haveto be willing to poke through boxes. Quite a few treasures are always found that way.
I made a few great connections and found out that the VCC now has a chapter in the U.S. I had planned on joining, by sending membership dues over to the UK. I'll post a contact number for CR members tonight for those interered in joining.
I got a bit of inquiry about the new show we're going to be putting on this year and have gotten offer from a few folks who will be helping put the event together. It will be a smaller version of what Chuck is doing on the West Coast, probably a ride and Concor this year. Looks like the show will either be in Brookline or Newton, Natick area, and most likely outdoors the first year. Hope you will attend.
