If a barge is not unwelcome, I will try and get over there with my toddler and give Mrs XB70 a break!

Any recommended 'scenic' routes from NW8?

Cheers

Jumping on the M11 up to Bishops Stortford then coming in on the A1060 would probably get my vote from where you are - I live in Chelmsford and my fun drives often end up in that sort of area!

Not sure how long that would take but it would be better than the A12 route suggested by google maps.

I'll be there in a mk1 Ford Focus RS - not been before so will probably arrive early and park in the corner somewhere - not sure what kind of cars are usually there!

60+ was not uncommon on sunny days last summer. The TVR club have a standing invite this year so should be plenty of Blackpool's finest on display.

Get there early, get boxed in early wink
Watch out for the police giving tickets if you park on the junction next to the pub.

Big turn out for this considering weather - Pub was well caught out but coped admirably! Car park full, double parked on verges and slip road. Black Mclaren MP4 star attraction. Good crowd and some truly exceptional vehicles. Looking forward to next one smile

Couple of Fezzas sounded a bit limp wristed giving it some on exit, green Lambo however sounded far more convincing and driver clearly committed to "proper" car park exit smile (alarmingly burning oil on fullchat tho - blue smoke clearly visible eek )

You ended up in the hedge today? I was in front of you on the way in, in the mk1 Focus RS - was hoping the car in between us would take a turn so I could have a better look at your CS on the move!

Was probably my favourite car of the morning beer



In no particular order, my other pics (iphone quality and just point and snap - nothing special!)

Meant to say 'I didnt want to end up in a hedge'.
Its best not to pratt about at these events as it could go very wrong plus the boys in blue are normally around waiting!!!
Nice photos, shame the Gull Wing didnt get parked!!

Phew!

Agreed to all of that - particularly re. the gullwing - would have enjoyed a closer look at it!

Got there about 9.15am (took ages to get the kids ready) but cars everywhere so no real place to park safely and unload the kids and buggy as was just me. Still, was an amazing site. Whoever was in the F550 that was heading away from the Hare at around 9.10 or so, it looked great.

Maybe next time
