This is up and running again...


Wednesday April 6th

We went in the R a few times last year, one night well over 1000 cars, some real beauties and a few deem it good enough to travel miles to attend!

It's a real shame, we turned up in our 24 year old 850R, not everyone's cup of tea, but that's the beauty. Lady on entrance simply said "you showing or what" I said jokingily "what do you reckon" her reply was I dunno what is it!?

Went to park up and the lad marshalling us us got very pedantic about the exact measurement the front of the car should be, I had a little laugh with him as my wife did and he said "you will be the first to moan when you can't get out" there was like a 25 yard gap!! I know the turning circle of the 850 is bad but not that bad!

The grass was long, and I know it's been dry but I have to complain about the access road in, they should dampen it down, no matter how slow you drove in there was clouds of dust, I'm glad I spent 3 hours cleaning the car for it to be covered in an inch of dust! God I sound like victor meldrew here!!

These little things to bother enthusiasts though, there was some lovely stuff there admittedly but it's so dilluted it's untrue, used to love this event but won't be in a hurry to return, like many others I spoke to while there.
