Any thoughts on whether I take my Matt Black Dolly Sprint track/rod car, or my original and honest MGB GT on the stand? I think the Dolly is perhaps more in the spirit of RR but want to use the MGB now it's on the road. I have making decisions! Anyone been before and know what the stalls are like? After a few bits like chrome bullet mirrors etc, am I likely to find them there? Bring the B  |

Besides, there will be loads of B's on other stands no doubt |

Plus it has petrol in and MG doesn't! |

Definitely the Dolly, as you said - more in the spirit of Retro Rides. Hows that then? I say the B Well I'm not talking about the base car itself, but the modifications done to it - or lack of. This place (at least from what I've seen) seems to gravitate towards modified retro cars, so the matt black Dolly seems perfect. If it was a standard Dolly vs. a matt black MGB then I'd have likely suggested the MGB Of course I can also see your side of it - if he had a standard Bluebird ZX or something, then I'd be asking him to take that  edit* Woah, post editing n stuff going on here |

I should be getting there early in the morning, with some hope to make it over to Billing at some point during the day. Is any body else nipping over there? And when do things kick off at the pod?
