A Delica ? Nowhere near the space of the LT though. I'd say nearly even less space than a T3 Syncro.

Wrong hobby, if complaining about money pits. :)

Well just got round to logging in and after reading all the comments and viewing the great photos, which brought it all to life again, I can only agree whole heartedly that it was a fantastic show with a fantastic turnout for the Syncronauts.

Big thanks to Jenny and Clive for giving over their home to store all the club displays (and producing them) and shelters and the organisation . . . it was all worth while and definitely brought the club together.

Thank you to everyone who made a contribution to the Mexican Evening, it was great to see so many varieties of food and drink brought together and enjoyed! It was definitely a Syncro family event with so many people sharing :)

Thank you also to all those that helped move my syncro forward via old, new, shiny and sold bits . . . I never used to understand this bringing of so many parts to meets but I do NOW!

Thanks for a great time, looking forward to the next time :D
