Popped along this morning, although a little late as i had a few beers last night!

Nice turnout and the museum was pretty good (never been before). Good way to kill a few hours on a quiet Sunday.

I was impressed. The front car park was full of great cars. I felt bad when I parked up my Panda (not knowing there was an overflow) and a GTR couldnt find a space.

It would have been too much hastle to get my kid back in and move it mind you! I asked him what was the best bit and he said "Playing big Connect4". Such a petrol head.

Ahhh, you're the Panda driver...

I was in my Blue RS4 and left just behind you - it wasn't until you'd passed that i noticed the PH sticker on the bootlid! If i'd know i'd of gave you a wave, apologies! I like those Pandas, never driven one but it must be a laugh.

I saw your RS4 and had a look around it. Very cool. I didn't see a smiley though.

The Panda isn't fast but as you say it is fun. I took it out on a PH run a while ago and I kept up with everyone for the first 1/2 where the roads were twisty.

I remember organising that run, you'll have to come down for some more twisty action! Dave was the most suprisd in his 911 when he just kept seeing you behind him all the time

Was that the 100HP? Think you parked up next to my Elise?

Quite like the Panda - considered one for my daily driver but the missus didn't like the look of them and declared the boot too small, so got a Fiesta Zetec-S instead.

Yes it was me next to you. I expect your Fiesta is as much of a laugh. They always have good reviews. My Mrs hated the Panda as well when I got it but she likes it now, as a nippy change to her CRV. She still says it looks funny though. smile

For those that have been to the event what time do cars start arriving. I note on the Haynes website that cafe is open from 9am, is that the time to get there for so to get decent parking do you need to be there much earlier?

9am is fine, its not like Queens Square Bristol when parking spaces start to run out at 8am or 8.30am sometimes. Theres normally plenty of space around 9 to 9.30.
