Guys,

We started this event after our daughter was hit by a bus and rescued by the air ambulance a few years ago and we thought this was a good way to raise money for them and for people to come and look at cars. I'm as big a kid as anyone and love to see all the cars that come; yesterday I stood outside and watched a black series AMG , Lambo, R8, Ford pickup, three Caterhams and two Bentleys all within five minutes, some really cool cars plus some of the stuff we have in our showroom and workshop paint shop you cannot see anywhere else.

The event has grown to such a size that we have had to involve the police, traffic management company and an overflow car park. At the end of the day do you not think it's cool seeing a £250,000 Lamborghini or a equally valuable Bentley blower parked next to a £500 Corsa? All these people who come have one thing in common that we all love cars regardless of how much money you have or the car you drive. Try to enjoy the event for what it is rather than slag it off because you don't like some of the cars or people who drive them. We all have to start somewhere so if you don't like the event that’s fine, please simply stay away and leave the event to those of us who do enjoy it and make it a success. If you think it was boring and the cars were boring I think you may need glasses as if you follow the attached link you will see some very cool cars !

John and all at Malton

Being the first to have written something a little negative, I feel like I should reply...

Obviously what you're doing is great for charity, and the air ambulance is a great cause - take the charity side of it away so as not to sway your thought process, and you have a car event, to which I felt like a bit of feedback may be useful as in my opinion it isn't as good as it used to be, and the atmosphere just isn't the same there anymore.

I didn't mean to just diss the event, just to give some feedback on it.
