This is a weird one, I know.

My Stepdad died recently, on his way to a car show at Hatton. He was into Toyota MR2s, amongst other things, and used to run the owners club. On his way to a show for the 25th anniversary of the MR2 Roadster owners club, he had a massive heart attack, pulled over to the hard shoulder, and passed away right there and then.

Some of the other MR2 owners decided to hold a ‘memorial’ event.
Saturday 23rd July at Chatsworth House, Derbyshire.
10am onwards. £6 entry (to cover venue costs). All-marques open car show, with an afternoon cruise and a BBQ at the end.

We’ve already held a funeral, but this is for the various car clubs he was in to have a get-together and say their goodbyes.

They have room for 800 cars and there is no way on earth the MR2 clubs will fill that on their own – so the doors are open. Anyone who loves cars will be made very welcome, and will help to see my Stepdad off in style. Like all the shows he organised for other enthusiasts over the years, the more the merrier. If you’re nearby, or fancy a drive, come on over.

There’s a Facebook event with more info here: https://www.facebook.com/events/556351124553248/
