These are some of my photos from S Club in July 2007. This is the national meeting for the TVR S-series owners, and I haven't been before, so Dave persuaded me to go along.
3 of us travelled 300 miles each way to the Coventry Transport Museum to take part. Although the weather was fine on the day, the journeys there and back were completed in pouring rain.
On the day itself, we're up at 8 (which isn't difficult when you're barely asleep anyway) to remove the roof covers, dry the cars, polish the wheels, polish the exhaust etc. This takes place under the gaze of various onlookers and passers-by. After an hour or so we start up (which really starts the curtains twitching).
We head down the dual carriageway to the Maccy D ranch for a high-cholesterol brekky, and then on into the town for the meeting. Only 3 people are there before us, and they are all event organisers. We therefore get to park outside the door of the transport museum.
There's about 45 cars there, which isn't too bad considering that a lot of people have been put off by the bad weather and flooding. There are various people there from the PistonHeads site, so it's nice to meet and speak to people I have only ever fallen out with in writing.
I realise that the cars vary in quality from fully rebuilt to nearly needing rebuilt. I realise that mine is not too bad, but a few faults do stand out in this company, so a new todo list is required! These are mainly minor things just to tidy it up in the detail.
In the concours event, Dave wins best S1 and best S overall. Jim wins loudest S (louder even than the Sagaris that turned up). I win sod all. I don't care though. The car is very shiny and looks good, even in this company. I'm well pleased. All in all, a most excellent day!

I have others, email me if yours isn't here - I might have it! I also have most of these pictures at twice this size. Again, email me if interested.
