I must have "just" missed you at Brampton services. I got there for 9.20, saw there weren't any Pistonheaders there (apart from quite a few Elises) and carried on my merry way to Leicester in the Cobra.

Saw a lovely purple Diablo & yellow Renault Spider on my way.

Many thanks to Ian for organising this show. It was a cracker! A huge array of cars, decent people to chat to and (by and large) great weather! I can't think of a better way to have spent my Sunday. Oh....and of course there was the Black Series cloud9

Thanks also to Mike for leading us back to the A14, missing that diversion thumbup That was one decent and speedy convoy! driving

My photos will follow later in the week, as I've still got to sort through all my Germany and Turkey-trip photos, before getting round to these.

Good fun day again. Cheers Ian. Be nice to go for a longer hoon somewhere as the convoy finishes far too early.

> Thanks also to Mike for leading us back to the A14, missing that diversion

My sat nav told me to go left so I did and you lot kept going straight on. Ended up down a single track road with piggin grass growing in the middle. Got me to the A14 for one junction and then told me to get off and go to Grafham Water if you please ! loser

What a great day, thoroughly enjoyed it, even trying to get Colin to eat that final sausage roll biggrin

My pleasure. Was a bit worried about losing you all in St Neots though. Seemed to lose the Black somewhere along the A14. Perhaps it couldn't keep up laugh

My thanks also to Ian for organising - great day out - and to Darren for the BBQ.

Thanks to Ian and Darren for the organisation and Chef duties accordingly!
Another great day, even if the weather was a little changeable.

I am glad most people liked the Black Series!

Mike, we hung onto the tail of the convoy and made sure that the Marcos got to the BP garage, whilst also trying to give Darren a few blasts past, to give him his AMG fix for a few weeks!

Cheers
Gary

Well that's another show to cross off the list for this year.

Thanks to everyone for a really great turn out.clap A really good mix of cars on our stand this time, and thanks also to the Ultima guys for joining us. An Ultima is always a welcome addition to the stand. The weather just about behaved all day although it could have been a bit warmer.

A big thanks to Andy for bringing the gazebo along in Andrew's absence, and another big thanks to Darren for bringing along the BBQ (along with half his parents kitchen !), also Nigel and Sue who appeared to bring along their local butchers shop !! hehe Did you ever give those last few burgers away Nigel ?

Well it time for me to have a bit of a rest now as the next couple of shows are being dealt with by John.

Catch a few of you at RAF Honington next Wednesday.

My Kimbolton Photos

Apologies for them being uploaded so late.
I had near on 2000 photos to sort through, and then upload the best ones from my Germany visit, as well as my holiday to Turkey before I could get round to these ones!
But here we are, my photos from Kimbolton.
