There are points that I would like to put across, but by Robs request, I will draw a line under this.

A great time was has by the vast majority of people and I hope Speedy can be counted as one of those despite the issues.

I said in my initial post that it was a decent day out and that Rob and co did a very good job so yes, you can.

Yep, and I apologise if my posts sounded harsh or upset anyone. That was not the intention considering the amount of money and time that it takes to set up these events. Overall, I came away thinking the day was very worth it! cheers

Best KnightCon so far, it was my 3rd KnightCon and in my views the venue was better, the turnout was better, and my gratitude goes out to everyone who made it happen, not just Steve and Rob but also everyone behind the scenes who worked hard to help Steve and Rob making KnightCon 2011 a huge success.
I wish i had purchased the platinum ticket not just so i could have met The Hoff (but that would have been my highlight) but also to support the team as it cant have been cheap to host an event like that.
Next year i will be purchasing the platinum ticket even if The Hoff wont be appearing again, because to keep this event going we the fans should be helping keep the flame burning, remember people "one FAN can make a difference"

It looks like Steve n Rob layed on an incredibale event, I am so sad I couldn't make it over the Irish Sea for it this year, to miss the main man himself (Steve F, not he Hoff Smile

) is hard to take! A friend went and said the venue itself is amazing too.

Well done, as ever, Steve n Rob.

I remember checking your car out on the day. Be careful to take care of those signatures as I'm sure the rain could easily wash them off.

I remember that car, looks great, I was the other side of the carpet, mine was the hardtop kitt with the sunroof and front night vision camera and full dash that was talking away to itself most of the day haha.
I brought Peter out as he wanted a look over all the cars, he was so excited to see everyone's and had actually not seen a season 1/2 dash before now up close.
Nice looking car and thanks for bringing him along Smile

unfortantly i didnt make it to the show as been busy on other projects but from what i hear it was a blast . its good to hear the positive feedback about the car ( must mean im doing something right lol) but we do have to rectify some small issues with the bodywork as we had to rush to complete the car for the show

Here's Knight Watch's coverage of this year's event

I appologise for the length of the video but I wanted to make it slightly mores special rather than just a 15 minute deal

Fri Oct 07, 2011 9:53 pm

Brilliant, that video above. It was good to see the Q8A that I missed. Thank you for uploading!

Well look at that, there was you few months back saying how it looks that KnightCon 2011 won't happen and you now have almost an hour of material...

I'm so glad you were wrong...
