Yes, i did go to the Exeter show, but you didn't miss much, as it wasn't one of the season's highlights.  The car is VW based, so do you know what it is?

Ah ha, I know where you got that information, as the magazine used my photographs, but also mispelt the name of the car.   It is infact a Sammio, a Triumph-based special from the mid-1950s that is now being reintroduced by Bay Area Rods of Bournemouth using a VW Beetle base.  You're close enough though, so the point is yours.

I just got my subs copy and happened to be flicking through it at lunchtime - thought the picture looked familiar.

One of these days we will actually meet each other at a show...

I'm a busy chap you know, but hopefully I'll get to meet both of you at some car events during 2010.   Will either of you be at the Autosport Show in January?

I'd love to be but most probably not.
