I guess that's a no

Possibly. I go to Essen quite a bit and I've been before and makes for a good day out. Frau D. is looking at getting a Frogeye Sprite plus she's given me the go ahead for a new car although she's started hinting at: https://www.mercedes-benz.com/en/mer...edes-amg-gt-r/ but it's only a two seater. Have you been to Essen for: ESSEN MOTOR SHOW | Europas führende Messe für sportliche Fahrzeuge which tends to be a bit more in the area of tuning?

I've been threatening to go since '02. Need a few trim bits for my Panzerwagen. It always seems to coincide with more important "things", however.

April no, although I might be tempted to go in October for SPIEL

I'm not into tuning, the closest I get to tuning is accidently putting the expensive diesel in my car

I'm into the old cars and classics - in that respect Essen is mecca, the largest event in Europe

Flashman,

you are Little Britain and I claim my 10pounds prize.

Jokes aside, Great Uncle, Grandfather's Sister's Husband, was a Lancaster pilot in WWII.

He flew bombing raids to Germany, photography runs to Germany photographing from the Ruhr valley across to Dresden and Berlin, and flew aid parcels to Holland which were thrown from the aircraft at low altitude.

Milan.
