Thanks Ade, good idea, might give it a go this year

About time the beans got spilled on this year's MMA stand contributors, innit?

Any particular theme? C-bodies? Mixed bag?

I have a list of cars that have been forward for the show and will be contacting the owners in the next day or so to confirm who's coming and will spill the beans!

The committee has put their votes in, we've had a good few votes from MMA members too and although there are a few cars still up in the air at the moment, we should have the final list this week...

In the meantime a BIG thank you to all those people that offered their cars for the show, we've had some absolute crackers this year and could have filled the stand three times over...what a great bunch you are!

First of all, I would like to extend a big thanks to to all those who offered their cars to be shown on the stand at the NEC Classic Car Show, we were offered some absolute belters and I'd like to extend special thanks to the close finalists.

Dave Powell's Charger - so close!
Dave McSherry's GTX - yup close as well!
Dave Long's Dart - yup you too!
and Paul Lisle for offering a selection of stunners, which proved to be a just outside of our ability to bring down from up North.

Thank you all very much for offering, we really appreciate it!

Well I have to say that the four that made it onto the stand really show the great range of Mopar interest we have in the club and how our members can appreciate much more than Hemi Superbirds!

So, congratulations go to:
Roger Keys for his wonderful Charger
Steve Billson for his big ole Polara
Terry Redburn for his amazing Valiant
and
Pete Wiseman for his genuine 1969½ Dodge Super Bee Six Pack

Fantastic effort all round, let's hope we can preach the Mopar gospel to the masses at the NEC!

Not too close though, wouldnt want any of the rust jumping of his onto mine!!

Kidding Pete, what an absolute honour it is to be chosen to even be near the stand with the other cars chosen let alone on it!! Thank you!

I had better get polishing.....

Cheers Steve

Yep, you two are together on the plan!

Excellent selection!

Best yet?

Has Steve's Polara got its own hall to put it in?

I'm not just being diplomatic when I say every year we have a "best yet" with a great selection of cars and some of the stuff you wouldn't expect to capture the attention, like Matt Snowball's as found Road Runner rag top.
But this years certainly has an air of quality about it!

And no Justin, Steve's just taking up half the bloody stand!

No, it's outside

Lovely looking car that will draw losts of admiring looks.

Thanks for selecting the Bee, I hope it does the stand and the MMA proud.
I can also help out for a couple of days on the stand if required.

Thanks as ever to the MMA committee for sorting this all out as ever.
Should be a good one.........
