    A funny thing happened at Skipton car show today

    A great show today in Skipton. Brilliant weather and lots of cars.
    Just as everyone was leaving a gentleman wandered up to Tree and me and said. "I believe this is one of mine"
    It was Steve Greenwood and we had a great chat for 5-10 minutes and he welcomed me to visit him in his Keighley workshop to see the other cars he is working on.

    If any of you have ever watched the Winsome Welshmen in School for Scoundrels (original version), selling the Swiftmobile, the words "She takes the eye" comes to mind.

    Bloody L, Steve Greenwood! Not seen him for y-e-a-r-s. Is he still wearing odd-coloured socks?

    Norm.
    Perhaps your blue wheels are a subconscious reference to Steve's socks

    Ha, no - what I meant by "odd-coloured" was "different colours on each foot", not "strange" :-P

    Just looked on the Skipton Classic 2024 show (and registered).
    This photo claims to be there in 2023! Dave you did not tell me!

    The photo is definitely not 2023 more like 2018 which would about the year I made my last appearance at the show. The other Strat belonged to a chap called Nigel Wilkinson who committed suicide a few years ago.
