Chris Amon's Ferrari #20 arrived home safe, sound and most comfortably between pillows of bubble wrap in the very box in which it was sent. I have easily touched up the one little "bobo" on the nose and it now looks good as new again. The Immensely tiny Fangio heads are much appreciated as I have a number of Dave Jones 50's GP shells to build up, including a 250F.
Once again, I would like to express my thanks to all the organizers, hosts, drivers and other entrants of the GPd2014. It was an honour to be in your company and I very much look forward to next season.
Cheers,
Stewart

Dave, #6 and #15 arrived safely in Montana today. Chris, the Eagle will be on its way to you tomorrow. I smell a rat.. Clearly my Ferrari was not raced at all over the past 4 months. Dave, Thank you again for the care in packaging AND thanks to all who did race and ship this car from point to point this fall. The car could not have been in better hands.

The No. 14 Honda arrived home today safe and sound, cosseted in very comfortable and secure packaging - thank you!
My goodies are three Immense Miniatures "Graham Hill" heads - thank you Mark. These are the first IM products I've seen, and wow, they are good! So much so that I now need to build a car and diorama featuring Graham Hill so as to take advantage of these heads.
Thanks again to everyone involved with this superb event.

Chris, I posted your Eagle this morning. You should have it be Saturday if not sooner.
I spoke to Charles Lawrence who confirmed that he received his Cooper in pristine condition. He was very grateful for the careful handling and superb packaging.
So, that just leaves Australia for cars en route.

It is with great pleasure I report that my Honda returned safely to Perth this morning, also looking better than it was sent! Thank you IM and our organisers for Grahams heads, someone must know something. Thanks Dave for your extra effort in supplying Richie with his makeover head. And, once again thanks for arranging the Grand Prix D'2014. Regards Nigel

Our BT19 arrived today along with a little surprise, all safe and securely packed. Thank you Dave. Thanks Mark for the invitation and the direction, top job! It has been a great privilege and honor to have been able to take part in this very exciting proxy. Well done to all the entrants for their superb and very inspiring builds. Congratulations to Bryan on 1st and too, Taffy on runner up, well done guys! Congratulations to Chris on concourse and to Phil on most esoteric car also. Special thanks to my slot buddy, Alan, on the great work on the modifications and producing a terrific BT19 body. Thanks and well done to all the guys who take time to host and run and drive the rounds, and, with great presentation Stu
