Well there wasn't any time for an end of the week drawing as I was working hard finishing jobs on the house so I could get the weekend off to visit the Mk1 Cortina nationals over the weekend.
It's around a 2 hour drive from my place and entry was £10 which included camping, a goody bag and free food (BBQ) on the Saturday evening! Good eh!
Naturally loads of Mk1s turned up and a good number of Mk2s. MTOC did our bit for the Mk3s, a fair number of us had made the trip it was good to meet up with the usual characters and get introduced to a few more. Cortina folk are some of the best kind of people. I digested loads of technical advice which was offered by folk who know far more than me and my brain was bursting with ideas by the end of the weekend.
Lots of beer was consumed, some of it was part of our prize in the quiz, where my general knowledge was at best vague and my input beer addled.
This was only my second overnighter at a car show, thankfully my mate lent me a tent so I wasn't sleeping in a cold car all night this time! I really should buy a tent. In terms of venues I think the site and the management is perhaps one of nicest shows I've been to in a long time and well worth putting in your Cortina calender.
