Oh, I didn't realise that.
 
He wasn't wearing a loud shirt at the time, but if you see the attached photo you can see him standing by the drivers' door of his car, so let me know if it's him.
 
Having said that he was very knowledgeable.

If he is a small chap that wears loud shirts, that will be Bob Zilla the
very same guy that does all the 'Zilla' products for the Delorean, eg
tankzilla, lockzilla etc.

chatting to the owner of one of them (liicence plate "ZILLA"), who had
apparently purchased the car brand new in 1981 and said that he will have to
be buried in the car because he loves it so much that he'll never, ever
dream of selling it and drives it all the time.  He then proceeded to ask if
he could shake my hand saying that he is so grateful to the UK for funding
his car that he likes to thank every British person he meets, and he really
did seem to mean it.

that was parked to the right of it (you can just see it in a couple of the
photos).

seen a Ferrari Enzo close up and been deafened by it while standing behind
it when it was fired up, so I thought I'd include a couple of shots of that
as well, because with there only being 499 made you don't come across them
too often.

that my parents house (just minutes away from where the gathering takes
place) should be completed by the end of the year and available for rental
while the show is on next year.  Just something I thought I should point
out.
