45 pages of discussion must be a record. Great to see and meet so many PHers on Sunday, and massive thanks to Ferrari for hosting us.

I'm very proud of how much money PH raised on Sunday. bow to all involved - my PH team, our volunteers and everyone who came along.

That's the one, thank you!

Thing is, if anyone ever asks I'm more than happy to take them for a spin.

Should be flattered I suppose,

I always see the MX5 parked up and have seen you out cleaning the Westy whilst cycling past a few times too. We will have to organise a local meet before the weather really turns

I think regarding leaning on/touching/scratching/etc people's cars the only thing I gather is this:

The general public (ie non-PHer or owner) generally DON'T CARE about other people's Pride and Joy - makes me sick but that's the society we live in in a lot of respects.

They're not the ones that have to pay any repair costs etc so to them it's not their problem.

Shame really.

You could almost forgive the public for thinking "its just a car" but when its a Ferrari, especially a £700,000+ Enzo that they might think "I wont touch that, just incase."

My 2 1/2 year old knows not to touch things unless he asks. The few people he's asked if he could sit in their car have all agreed anyway, And I make damn sure he's careful. I'm not even talking about exotica, just my friends P&J.

Ive come back to my S4 at a car shows to find a kids leaning on it etc, and one sitting on the bonnet with his feet up on the bumper!
Ive found the best way to sort it is a rather abrupt stern word with the kid directly rather than the parents.
The shock factor using has the kid straight off the car, and if the parents kick off they will get a mouth full too about keeping their kids under control!

Had a guy leaning on my Clio in Tesco once. I caught his eye, pointed at his arm and said nothing, only a gesture and raised eyebrows. He took it off and looked pretty sheepish. I felt like Clint Eastwood or something hehe

Sub £2k Clio not quite the same as a 6 figure Enzo, but it's still my P&J. Luckily no one was interested in it at Silverstone at the weekend!

Borrowed my Dad's A6, came back to it in Tesco, woman loading the nex car had her keys, phone and purse on 'my' boot. Pressed the middle button on the key, flipped the boot up and sent her stuff flying. "Ooh god, I'm so sorry, wrong button!!" got in and left.

I see a gap in the market for auto protection here...
