Chatsworth 2012: Photos that captured the conditions

[MPETT]

Whilst braving the elements and chatting to a fellow owner I saw this chap walking down the road and couldn't help taking this pic. Had a good chuckle to myself

[IVANHOE]

I spotted him too, I would have wet my pants laughing but they were already soaked with the rain.

Got the brolly out of my boot, chatted to the Tuscan S owner next to me who'd just pulled up, brolly promptly blown inside out........ faced the wind, "righted" it, put it back into the boot

Off topic, anyone got any more pics/info on that reddy purple T350 in the background? Stunning looking car and not a colour I've seen before.

BTW - you lot were all mad

All half mad. The better half all good for the enthusiasm for all TVRs. Next big meet at Duxford 6th May. Imperial War Museum. £9.

My T350 will still be in the bodyshop unfortunately as thats one I'd love to have done

I only dared get the camera out for a minute, so here are the 2 photos I took. Neither really do any justice to how god awful the weather was.
The guy in the wellies is my mate AMSquared with our last ditch attempt at getting warm - sausage baguettes and huddling close to the burger van.

Your mate was stood in the warmest place just by the food van. I was stood there for a while and didn't want to leave but felt I needed to let someone else try it! As someone has said elsewhere it was a memorable day with plenty of TVRs.

250 miles of rain, spray & more rain


The view from the Chim as we attempted to warm up


Loved every minute of it, a great day out

The roads where so wet and windy but what a stunning drive

Thanks for taking a picture of our car, the tuscan on the right in between the red griff and the orange cerbera. We stayed at Chatsworth on Sunday night and just got home after a 675 mile round trip. Maybe hard to believe but this morning when we left it was dry and sunny! Well done to the organisers, looking forward to next year.

I took my camera, but didn't bother getting it out of my otters pocket - how did you guys manage to keep the rain off your lenses????? It was coming down horizontally!!!!!!

[madbadger]

Too much scope for a joke there...

[Rufus Roughcut]

.... a couple of pics from me.

Gray_101 pointing at the Spongys umbrella, says something like "are you two O.K. under that" ? "should have bought a big un like mine"




random ...some water running down the car park, I'm sure I saw a salmon crossing the road




Great weekend
