| Hi Everybody I'm going to the Le Mans Classic on Wed 7th July, I'll return the following Wednesday 14th July. Please send in your orders as usual and I will deal with them in the order that I received them on my return, Thanks I've bought a 1,500 car collection. I will be adding around 30 or 40 new additions every week so keep watching the website. Please don't e-mail asking if certain things are there. Boxes are stored 6 deep in my loft and there is no way I can start looking for individual items until I bring the boxes down. Here's our cars and results from Bordeaux. James won 1/24 outright, I placed 3rd in 1/32, The Brits did very well in 1/24, Ralph Parker was 2nd, Phil Smith 3rd and Eddie Grice 4th. I'm pleased with my results but ecstatic about James! Brilliant meeting and thanks to everybody who makes it happen every year. Cheers, Derek
