Hi Guys

Just heard today that the Swords classic car sale / show is on the 7th Oct..

This year I hear that Dermot Flynn who runs the show is going to have a concours competition in a selected area within the indoor area.

Great prizes for the winners. However one has to pre book if they want their cars judged..

Sounds like a bit of fun..

A week to go, I am wondering if many are entering the competition ???

The Judging is NOT based on originality.

It is based on cleaniness, condition, and presentation...
