I am entered for the concours on the Friday night and the classic rally on Saturday. - Come and say hello!

Will be in the Cathedral Grandstand on Sunday to watch the racing.

Hello,
Was good to meet you this afternoon and chat. Lovely looking Triumph. Tried to get a photo as you drove up for the display but too many heads in the way. Maybe see you in the Cathedral stand on Sunday.

Gotcha Mr. Vintage Racer

A good evening on Friday with a win at the concours, followed by a great drive out yesterday.

Looks like you were a little to our right in Cathedrale. Presumably an early shot before the Escort drove off into the distance. Out chap (MGBGT) commented that the Escort had quite a tyre advantage though.

We had a great time. Hard work driving down on the Friday, weather was shocking. Old cars have crap wipers.

[MrVert]

It was awful wasn't it...and we were in modern 911's....

We were going to take an Elise but I think we would have had an absolute nightmare!

Full marks to you for perseverance!

We saw a guy in a Buggati or similar driving along in the pouring rain with nothing but a leather helmut and goggles.

At the moment, we're in Le Mont Dore near Clermont Ferrand. Going to the FFSA historic weekend at Le Mans next weekend.

We got back last night from an excellent weekend!

Sad to see that one of the cars on our trip got stolen when he returned to Dover last night !

I pussied out and took the Range Rover Sport, as Mrs P100 was baulking at the thought of a 1500 mile trip in the TVR Vixen !

We did a couple of Chateaus on the way down to keep her interested.

As it was our first visit we were feeling our way around the events, but the racing on Sunday was amazing, and we also sat in Cathedral.
Saw so many people we knew, and made lots of new friends
Will definately return next year .

Was nice to bump into you in the Cathedral stand Roy, hope to catch up soon.

[MrVert]
