Yes, Hi to those I saw. Did wait at the gate briefly but the call for beer was too strong!

Good turnout again!

Likewise. A few of these names/faces are still unknown to me! Not to forget Wildcards who we saw leaving. Did anyone meet mrC ? Judging by the amount of cars in the top field, I`d say it was a bigger turn out than last month.

I did see a red Elise in the overspill whilst Tony was helping Jim in the purple Stag, but no idea if it was Mr C.

Yes wasnt it great. Didnt make the 7h30 meeting, as I was elsewhere. But there were some great cars. Like the Ford GT, the jaguar C Type, D-type and XKSS replicas, wo Stratos replicas, that Citroen H-van (I really like that for some reason), and of course the VSCC cars in the pub car park.

UN-BE-LIEVABLE!!

I waited at the gate for about 15 minutes, got there a little early at about 7:20, but we'd arrange to go for a curry at 8:30 so I wanted to go and look in the other field.

Didn't see anyone who was obviously there to meet people, but not knowing what anyone looks like makes things quite difficult. May I propose we all turn up with a white Rose next month?

I thought it was a great turnout, some realy nice cars there. I managed to takes quite a few photo's, i'll get them hosted than get a link up for people to have a butchers at.

May we have better luck next time.

If it was an S1 next to a Cobra and a Westy, then yes, it was me!!! the prat on the 1st gate said 'You'll bottom it out in here, go into the Cricket pitch' so i thanked him and went to the Cricket pitch where I was greeted with 'if you'd come an hour earlier you might have got in'. Fool!!! so then I had to drive through the village and turn round and go back... at this point I realised that the fans had decided to fail and the engine was getting to about 104ºC.... so I was getting worried and kept having to turn it off in the traffic

There was a red S2 in there too.

That Field was far to bumpy for an Elise I kept hitting the floor....

I saw a few of your cars, but none of the offending PH'ers to go with them! there's always next time.
was a great night and some lovely cars.

see you next time!

A few of my mates got there early, so did you see an Elise S1 Type 49 and a blue Hillman Imp with a rollcage and stuff on the cricket pitch?

Saw the Type 49. Was it the red over white? and the Imp brought back some fond memories for my Dad

I met Pasticpig there last light as well.

Annoyingly, everyone seems to remember not only what I look like, but my name and my job. Annoying because I cannot remember what anyone looks like or your names (so I appologise if I ignored anyone- its not intentional).

I know what you mean. Longers picked me out a few months back. I didn`t have the foggiest, even though we`d met before. DOH!

Nearly forgot. As I left, in the gloom, I got a glimpse of an unidentified car. My first thought was a Facel Vega. Never seen one before, so can anyone confirm or deny this sighting?
