Was I the only one to think they ruined the parade..

The car's were spaced out so much - we got bored and went to get something to eat...

And they have removed the fountain.. boring.

Think I might not bother with it next year

Funniest part of the day :-
Italian guy driving his brand new F430 through town. Around 20 people run into the road and force him to stop so they can take photos, moments later he is out of the car with the engine lid open showing everyone his new motor whilst a line of traffic is stopped behind him.

The drivers Parade was absolutely fantastic! If you did not go you missed one hell of a day out. Yes it was hot but there is cool lager to help and also the blessed Hawaiian tropic girls helped break up the day nicely

This was fantastic, we were stood on a bench at a bar near a tunnel with a block of flats above it. As the slow moving cars came by, about a dozen of us, all beered up and behaving like chavs started chanting "We cant hear you, We cant hear you" and all sorts of similar stuff very loudly. Some drivers dipped the clutch and revved up others didnt, they copped for some derogatory chanting

The locals, far from being dismayed at our loutish behaviour really loved it and started to join in The car drivers loved it too, especially all the Corvette drivers who had shipped the cars from the US, many were filming us from the car as they then made sure we could hear them.

Brilliant, the parade and the fantastic bar with live jazz we found for the rest of the evening was one of the highlights for me

The Jazz Bar was a great find that is for sure! The music was great the G&T's were not good but at least they were cold. Would have been great if the band had succumbed to my mates constant late night requests for the proclaimers 500 miles (too many I am afraid) we left about 1:00 1:30 do you think they played it later ;-)

That poor child is probably mentally damaged for life, still he has all the flyers that were genrously donated to him
