Me and Mrs T should be along to this on Sunday. We've been for the last 2 or 3 years and it's always been a good show with some beautiful cars to drool over.

No Lotus for us this year as that's been sold so we may have to 'slum' it in the main car park...unless they recognise the true sporting potential of a Suzuki Swift Sport!

Will be there armed with my camera so expect plenty of photos next week!

Might see you there. I'm 50/50 at the moment.

Forecast - mild, cloudy but with sunny intervals

No rain

A few random pics from a good day out... Anyone know the story on the Lotus? A sort of flared up Europa with a Ford/Shelby V8. Car of the day for me I think

Very interesting.

I somehow managed to miss it though.

[Forthright MC]

i was up looking at the Loti and i missed that one too...

did see the red and black S2 examples tho', lovely things!

i missed seeing the Noble and Pork GT on the EA display properly too, never got the chance to snap 'em... (215 shots all in today! )

[Shnozz]

I didnt see that Lotus either, looks superb.

I got ushered into the public car park so dumped my Lotus in there, right near a nice white exige as it happens. Good day out.

[Gretchen]

Oh, that'll be this one...

I didn't miss it

Three. The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight: One Lancaster bomber, two fighters: one Spitire and one Hurricane.

Yes they were. I'm sure the Lancaster changed colour at the end It looks like two different planes in Pupps pics, probably because of the lighting, which is what confused me methinks.

Even when I crouched down I could still only see one

I am not going mad, they DO look like two different planes in Gary's pictures. You weren't crouching low enough.

There's a simple answer Mrs T... I hadn't got the metering right at all so have shopped the images to bring out as much detail as I had got, and had to alter the saturation etc to do that on an image by image basis hence the differences.

Mental note made never to try anything dodgy under your eagle-eyed gaze

Er, one of our club members also made a special V8 Europa a few years ago - not as big with the wheel arches and a bit tidier engine bay lay out
I'll see if I can find any old photos
