Bit late to be asking this but is there any speedbumps on site??
I can't remember mate - but i have a sneaky feeling that there was a couple yes. May be avoidable but not sure!

Just back now!

Phew! What a morning.

All in all guys - you helped raise £273 for Little Hearts Matter - so a massive thanks for that.

Will let the charity now and hopefully we'll get a mention on their site.

Also, keep eyes peeled for Blackpool Gazette running an article this week, as well as Banzai magazine too.

Adz - did i see a 'fake splits can...' sticker on yours??

Big thanks again to all for coming along.

Big thanks also specifically to Snapper for taking loads of pics this morning, and also to Kosta and Lancs Clubbie for rounding up their own troops in such a big way. Cheers guys!

Knew i recognised the sticker style!

(I'm a closet Vee-dubber!)

That was it - all for charity and in my eyes a lot easier than running a half marathon!

Mini folks - sorry if you felt a bit 'out of it'!!!

not long been back as well.

was a good day out and some nice motors. And the weather stayed good.
could of done with a bit more signage out front but thats all
Yes, would like to say a big sorry to all for that!

If the feedback's good and we do it again, be it there or somewhere else, will make sure there's plenty of signage all over to get you in ok.

I bet the local petrol station was made up about the lack of signage.

Must've seen one guy pass at least 4 times!!

Again, sorry!

Who was there last? Kosta was still there when i left at just after 12 - but i reckon more folks were heading over.

I passed a Trabant and something white and Jap importy - a Nissan i think - on the way to the M55.

Did anyone speak to the RS200 owner either? Was it a real one??

Loved the "Skyline estate" as well and a big fan of the original spec red Evo 5 too!

Who was guilty of really nailing it away from the gates when leaving?

There were a few!

Snapper was the loudest i heard!

Guys - some decent feedback - so thanks. I have got a little idea for the next one - not a million miles for the Oulton idea - let me speak to 'a man' on PH first before saying anything else.

I took this on as 2 of my mates were keen to get something sorted - one being a fireman who had to work last night and thus couldn't make it today, the other being someone who due to divorce has lost his car 'mojo' a bit of late - so couldn't really be bothered. But was a pleasure to sort out.

Will admit - up until 10.30am ish i was panicking about parking. I had it all set in my head that we'd park 4 to a caravan slab - but you chose to do it in 2's! And also had it in my head that we'd park at the front car park in cross ways rather than length ways. Hey ho though - seemed to work - and nobody seemed to struggle for a space - as far as i saw anyway!

Next time - will get some hi-viz gear (had some in the car today but wouldn't felt silly!) and will get some signage made up too.

Our furthest visitor today came from?

Any guesses?

Sod it, i'll tell ya - Holland! The guy in the Exige lives in Holland but was visiting parents nearby and saw some interesting cars coming in so followed on.
