£2,400?
~700 cars?
Less than £4 a motor?
Wow, we're a tight bunch...and I say that as a Scot!
You could at it like that, and I'm inclined to agree. But, if you think that the world record for the longest Ferrari convoy 'only' collected £4800, PH has done very well.~700 cars?

I say 'I know you' a lot too and it's always greeted with a worried look. I guess we all just get to know names that we see regularly on the forums....or those that get reported to mods a lot 
Thanks Paul, I am even more worried now, it sounds like I have been reported to the mods more than I though I had!!

No donation buckets for record attempt drivers though (not that I saw at least). This total was raised by Ferrari themselves giving £5 per car that took part. Garlick said:
Some gave generously (£50) others not at all, but it wasn't compulsory.
I appreciate that, but as enthusiasts, many not short of a bob or two, who were getting the very minimum of about £15 of free entry, programme etc. I would've thought we might be more generous, especially considering it is a motorsport charity.loudlashadjuster said:

I can recommend the Peltor kids ear defenders. Have lasted very well with our boys and seem to do a good job.
Did you struggle to find car seats to fit the back OK? I was the person watching with intrigue as your family climbed out, on the basis that I am considering getting a Cerbera IF we can get the kids in. They are much younger than yours so it looks like it should be possible...But then if yours were on just the base plinth seats, they might have more legroom than a younger kid with a proper bulky car seat.
You should have said - you could have tried your kids out for size in the Cerb ! Bought the Cerb when the eldest two were 4 and 2. The 2 year old had a Recaro seat, forgotten the name of it but I can find out. It fitted very well in the car. The eldest sat on the base seat but with a seat belt adjuster to pull the diagonal belt down to across his shoulder. Now they are 11, 10 and 5 they all still fit. Eldest has to go in the front as he is tall, the youngest has the seat belt adjuster and dad has to go in the Mondeo

Its a bit sad, as we were all pre-warned that a charity collection was going to be made at the entrance.
Even TVR owners have been known to have a few spare quid after they have managed to get the car back on the road.....occasionally.

My TVR was working fine until a minor incident with a hump backed bridge, some "air" and the landing caused my fuel cut off switch to cut in. 10 minutes of contortions under the dashboard later and all was working fine again
I thought £20 was a suitable donation on the day to a good cause

Hey Stuart
Is there an online giving page? I didn't donate on arrival as I had to break a 20
...and when I left I was keen to get away - missed the buckets!!
Cheers

Yesterday was my first SS and it was a quality event, and to make my day I was greeted into the circuit by the one and only Garlick himself
It was a bit weird convoying with Sonic to a PH meet where both of us were forced to fall back on our daily drivers (his is a tad more impressive than mine though!)

Thanks also from me and my co-pilot for a brilliant day. To the guys with the red Renault that we spoke to at the services en route, lovely car.
Saw that a silver LS460 came in later with a PH sticker that I need to get too for my barge.
And pleased to say that the barge appears on the video too!
Brilliant brilliant day.
