I Can't Believe It

Last week I received an e-mail from the organisers advising me that my parade laps application had been unsuccessful  . I replied, expressing (rather tetchily, I must admit) my disappointment at this. A conciliatory response prompted an apology on my part, which has resulted in an invitation to not only statically display my car, but also have the opportunity of a photocall with it alongside XKD603, the star (to my mind) of the show. This is the Ecurie Ecosse D-Type which 'only' came second at Le Mans in both '56 and '57.
To say I'm excited is a massive understatement. I can hardly wait!
