Great drive out, look forward to the next event.

Thanks Ryo

As always James, a pleasure and honour to drive down in such esteemed company.

Long live GM!

It's the sign of a man to hustle a muscle car along a twisty A or B road!

Hard work isn't it?

Must make it earlier in the autumn!

Very true. Anyway, cheers as always, and a big thanks to everyone else also. That was a fantastic sight this morning, tens of 1000s of horsepower bellowing through N Yorks in the spring mists. It's things like that that stick with you forever!

Good Bank Holiday afternoon

Just a short narrative and a few pics from me:

A 6.30 a.m. rise on Easter Sunday after a late night on Saturday is not the best way to start a new day and a glimpse out of the bedroom window confirmed my suspicion that the weather over at Malton may just be a little bit less than ideal. The promise of a possible good days viewing urged me on and together with my wife we took on the challenge like true enthusiasts and ventured onto the moor. I took the reduced visibility and wet roads into my stride and sheep the same colour as mist tested my Brembo/DS2500 combination to the limit; so a good wake up call for me and my TT. There were still 3 ft snow drifts on either side of the roads we use to get to Malton. Thankfully the weather brightened up by the time we reached the event.

We made straight for the showroom where refreshments were available. Once there and filled with the usual belly fuel on offer we started our bi-annual pilgrimage to the holy grail of Supercar nirvana.

Due to intermittent showers, taking pictures was a little trying but nevertheless I did take a few. My favourite car was the Lotus Elise painted in the John Player Special livery and compatible interior. Malton is one of those events which enthusiasts take in their stride no matter what the weather because of the overriding need to get their bi-annual fix! The cars inside the showroom were beautifully turned out beyond anyone’s expectation with lots of ‘Do not touch’ notices on them and I was tempted to take advantage of an offer to do the same to my TT at a later date.

Any remaining adrenalin was used up on an epic drive home.

Big thanks James. Well worth the red-eye start to be part of that mother of a convoy. My personal feeling was the meet itself may have got a bit out of hand and out grown its location. Too good for its own good possibley.



My humble '5 with more interesting company.



Some of Malton SC's incredible stock.
