That's eleven months for me to win the lottery so that I can attend. Say 45 weeks and three tickets/week. That's 135 chances and the chance of winning the main prize is approximately 1 in 14,000,000, so that means there's about a 1 in 100,000 chance of me attending.
Oh well, fingers crossed and roll on Saturday!

Brilliant Hugh that means there is a 1 in 100,000 chance of you taking your best best best friends with you, namely me, Ghosty, Reginald, JB, Jason............etc etc etc.

Thanks mate!!:lol:

Oh and our leader Sir Nicholas of coarse!!

I was fortunate enough to have been able to attend the gathering in Albuquerque in 2004, All I can say is if you ever get the chance to go there then go, I can guarantee you will be given a welcome second to none and make a whole new bunch of friends, you will not be disappointed. The memory will stay with me forever.

Thanks Nick,

This event is truly about the collector. Something I noticed lacking so often. While the models are amazing, the people are why I do this. Start saving your funds and join us next year. I will truly work to make it a pleasurable experience. Remembering, this event is a result of so many others who donate their time and resources. I could never do it alone.

Come join us!!!

I have a red-hub Ford GT in my collection that I bought from you Nick during your 2004 visit with us. The only time our paths have physically crossed. We'll have to do something about that. One of these years I've got to get to the UK! Lot's of hands I'd love to shake over there.

Greg there is a whole bunch of Matchbox collectors over here that would love the chànce to shake your hand and I'll be standing at the head of the queue.

...and I'll try and be in the queue.

Ghosty.
