Where did the figure of 2 in the UK come from? There's at least 3 privately owned (on British plates) in London that I've seen, and one other for sale currently. Lovely car though from seeing them in the flesh. Sounds really good event with nice cars, but won't be able to get up to it.

Not for definite but here's hoping

35 Spiders allocated for the UK, not sure how many have been delivered so far.

[Andrew[MG]]

Are many people going?

[poprock]

I’m going along tomorrow, but only for a couple of hours or so.

Just got my 944 back after six weeks off the road, so I’m dying to drive it somewhere. Anywhere, really, but since this event is on …

Probably driving out from Glasgow mid morning in convoy with a fairly quick Skoda.

[Col 666]

I'll be there taking pics as usual, must remember the sunscreen this time!

[GordonF430]

I'll be on track with my 340R - F430 needs a trip to the dealer :0(

[poprock]

The supercar laps seem to be so early in the morning that the gates won’t be open to the public! There’s another round late in the afternoon, I guess.

It was a great day. Enjoyed the morning and afternoon supercar sessions in the Lotus Exige S (Gulf colour)

And a great looking car it is too, stunning, and driven well too, loved the way the rear offside tyre was smoking so much at the hairpin, wish I was in the passenger seat, looks great fun.







And one of the said smoking tyre

i saw the same cars i saw at 24hr nurburgring lol tesla focus rs500,as an alfa owner got a look at the guiletta in 8c red-very nice looking and a lovely impreza hatch group n mmm

What is the score with seeing the Guilietta?

I'm considering one, and would love to have a look at it, but from what I can tell, KH are being a bit cheeky saying it is on display, as Alfa's press release states owners and prospects only.

Would not be happy to drive all that way to be told sorry, not a prospect.

I'm signed up to the 'club Guilietta' or whatever that is called, but I can't see that as classifying me as a prospect somehow.

Any other feedback on the day and the stuff on show, is it worth popping up tomorrow?

Hi Ian.
Any photos of cobra on teenage cancer trust laps- especially when i had a 'moment' at hairpin.
cheers hugh.

[poprock]

The Guiliettas were the stars of the dealer paddock. One Brera, one Spyder. Both utterly gorgeous. The quality of their finish made the limited edition Ford beastie look like cheap knockoff tat.

It's a club racer edition, 1/25. 2 or 3 of them are in Aberdeen. Do look fantastic.

Sorry Hugh, had just left the hairpin when we saw you and was heading to the pits, where we did get a few shots of you, but nothing on track, a shame I know and I am sorry. Hope the clutch held out.

By the way, my step daughter loved your car, said it looked like a REAL car.

...and I managed to miss you at KH again. I was up today with Paul in the QV. Managed to get out for laps in the QV, Murci and the Cerbera but would have a liked a Mass hot lap special

[Modena Scotland]

Anytime Andy. Just come up at one of the track evenings/days soon. Check the dates on the SE forum and send me a PM when yo are thinking of coming up. Hope it was a good day today and Paul's QV is performing well. Was Roddy up there again?

Ian, just give me a shout for pax laps the next time you see me there.
