Been 3 times.

2010 was like the summer of 76

2012 was so wet Saturday afternoon our wives were wearing transparent white. Good for us, less good for them.

2014 Was so wet Sunday that we retreated to the car and put all our clothes into the windscreen of the Boxster to dry. The Porsche display was a 3 inch deep lake at one point and I couldn't see a soul spectating.

2016, dreaming of a repeat of the summer of 76. I also regularly buy extra lottery tickets and go to work on Mondays!!!

6 of us going in total in our group, 2 on UJM (Kawasaki and Honda), 2 in a 2015 Mustang V8, and myself and another in a Corrado G60.

I think I'm the only one concerned about reliability, I've had too many VWs!

We're on the 06:40 Dover-Calais on the Thursday, but can probably be spotted at most petrol stations due to the tank ranges of the bikes....

Is the Oakwoods van in the background anything to do with you? Because, if so your Walworth unit is about a mile from me!
