I thought it worth setting up a dedicated thread for this:

13th September at Harewood House.

See www.carsinthepark.org.uk for details of cheap tickets if you have a qualifying car to display.

Who's going to be there? smile

looks a good event, my Nissan 350Z Roadster isn't on the approved list but I should guess it will be ok to attend in that. I mean if they let MX5's in!!! ha ha

I'm working on convincing my gf that we should go so I can work more on my automotive photography.....and see the penguins.

I wont be displaying though, just will be a regular member of public. Too shy to show.

So who went?

What were your thoughts on it?

It was a shame that it wasnt as nice a day as on Saturday but there was a very healthy turn out.

Highlights for me were the white 964 RS, Mustang GT500 which I've seen twice now and my first Morgan Aeromax.

Other than that, not too much rare or older stuff IMO.

Too many shiny engine bays for my liking which made me feel almost embarrased to be there. Took a few pictures which once I've processed I might stick on here. However, I found I had more pictures from the Harewood House Bird Garden than I did of the cars on display.

More TVR's than I have ever seen in my life!

It's not about rare, ultra cars. Its more a social event for the car owners/fans.

It was a great day out, Where else can two people have a day out for £7?
Loads to see, had a chat to the owners of a few interesting motors.
A great friendly atmosphere-and no "badge snobbery".
I've been to half a dozen cars in't park and if the weather is good they are always worth a visit- Each one gets better and bigger, cheers Chris for the effort you put in!!

I'm into my automotive design but not so much the geeky / cliquey side of car ownership.

I just commented that I maybe was expecting more exotica. Dont get all "angry smiley" about it I still had a good time.

Just keep digging, first you upset the organiser, and now suggest that the folk attend are geeky and cliquey...

Now I'm confused.

You say you're into automotive design, but not geeky? confused
