Ali - We got there at 09:50am .... proof of which is here: http://www.klincewicz.com/phsatservice/images/dsc_...

As we were one of the first - but not the first.

We were there when the Saggy and Atom arrived - and got pics of them as they arrived too

Sorry to have missed you.

K

So where were you hiding then

I saw you pull up in the Lupo and expected you to come over to say Hi but your car was gone a few minutes later.

Still big telly and PS3 sounds better, I bought my PS on a saturday like this, I bet the electrical shops do a booming trade in this weather!

David - not you - You were still there when we left

Anyway - as Garlick says - it would seem no harm done - but flippin embarassing though.

Cheers chaps

effectively got bollocked for the PH'rs doing donuts, handbrake turns and wheelspins around the car park as you left.
Thanks guys - I doubt they'd welcome another PH event in the future.

Kinky said:

Yeah - feckin morons. K

I am guilty of having a spin on the way out.

However, before the jackals leap at my throat, i'd like to point out that i was at least 150 yards away from anyone else and clear of all possible danger. It was a large open area. It was harmless fun, and hardly worthy of anyone receiving a bollocking.

I apologise to all who have been affected by this

Sorry I was with David and we had a spin together, Sorry. I will not do it again. I to apologise to all who have been affected by this

Just to clarify - I absolutely saw it as harmless fun (and safe), but I only saw the antics on arival. My son and I were at the 4x4 track (which was brilliant by the way) as you all left, so didn't see or hear anything. Hence when the guy laid into me verbally I got very indignant and protested that the carpark was empty, wet and I can't imagine any PH'rs endangering anyone, least of all their own cars! I guess that wound him up even more - most embarrassing was the queue of people behind me at the desk all looking faintly amused...

Anyway, I've had notes from a couple of people and I've kept a tab of owed pints!

That was the only reason I went!

OK, after much swearing at my computer (the only RAW-conversion software I have - PSP v.9 - is being temperamental at the moment), here's some of the best shots from the weekend.

More (including our extroverted broadcasters) can be found here

[andyuk911]

I am sorry to hear that there was not loads of people .. I suffering with a bad back, so resting as much as possible..

Hope the next one there is a mega turnout .. BTW I own the RS4 in the advert pix

[J1JPE]

got sidetracked by roadworks & heavy traffic, maybe next time

[caro]

Sorry to hear the turnout was poor - we were in Yorkshire at the weekend (it's slightly damp there, too ), but Gaydon is a good place for a car meet, some good stuff in the museum. Went to Supercar Sunday a couple of weekends ago and enjoyed the cars which came the show including a lovely bunch of Lambos and the TVRs had fun in the arena - maybe that's what inspired the slight overexuberance described.

[Kermit power]

I was expecting much of Gaydon as a museum, but after Saturday, I would take Brooklands, Beaulieu or the Haynes museum in Somerset over Gaydon any day - just far more, far more interesting cars & displays...

Beaulieu is much better. Not been to the other two, sorry to say.

Donington collection is small but well worth a visit.

It was really good before the current owners got hold of it. I must say I was really disappointed.

Donington isn't small - they've just got a lot crammed in that isn't really done justice to. There are some awesome cars there if you know about their history. Tom Wheatcroft's autobiography is a great read and well recommended if you're planning to go.
