It'd be great to catch up with Aux again. I've seen that Datsun pickup on the road and I know who imports them, but I didn't realise it was his.
I presume it's OK to bring youngsters? My 8yr old son is keen to come, on the basis that there might be Porsches etc. I've tried to teach him my way, but he seems more interested in sports/supercars for some reason...

Hello Folks,
Well, the tungy grey thing made it there, and back, almost without incident.
I didn't take many pctures, though it was nice to see other R5s there.
There was a really nice black R5 Gordini, which won the Kleers Competition
but I didn't have my camera to hand.
This beautifully turned-out Vauxhall with its Lotus engine stole the
show for me though! Who would have thought that they had launch-control
fitted back in 1991?
All in all, a good little trip out for the car after its extended rest.
Will probably take the Coupé next month...
Regards,
Steve

Thanks for the nice comments - I can see the stone chips in the picture very clearly so you are being way too kind as far as it's presentation goesshow for me though! Who would have thought that they had launch-control

Yeah and it's not launch control in the true sense of the work - it doesn't help with traction at all - rather screws it up TBH - it just gives more boost for 30 secs - but it's little known fact (apart from LC/LO owners)
