Nice pictures. In reply to Splodge it is a matter of a very few people working their nuts off to keep the show running while everybody else enjoys themselves. The person who would have announced the 3pm engine start was unfortunately detained elsewhere and could not get back to the commentry booth on time. The bikers started up on time and sounded brilliant. The rest of you could have done the same. Sorry if I sould a bit sharp but I'm still tired from spending 11 hours on my feet.
I respect your efforts mate, it was a great day & really well organised, there was a call on the tannoy at 3pm, i remember it well, i was just dissappointed that there didnt seem to be any owners even near their cars let alone about to start up. Infact there were 2 calls to start up, just nobody did!
(Apart from a couple of the Lancias!
)Have you seen the price of fuel recently?
Seriously, we (all 28 members of the De Tomaso posse) were just emerging from San Carlos restuarant after lunch and had done the 11 a.m. sound off.
The 11 a.m. sound off succeeded in filling the Aussie hotel with carbon monoxide fumes as one of the de Tomaso was parking right outside the door and I suspect this was the case with a lot of other business down the street!
Personally, I don't need a sound off as it is the worst thing to do to a cold engine and to say that punters want to hear a car at idle is bollox. They want to hear you revv the nuts off of it, but they won't be about when the engine needs an expensive rebuild and you are looking for funds.........
