Had a great day!

Always fun being the only rotary in attendance!

Not a big Porsche guy, but the white 911 sounded amazing and it echoed around the small valley beautifully!

Didn't take many pictures, but a few clips of some cars here:

If anyone caught any of my RX8 going up the hill let me know please 😁

As a Mazda fan I wanted to look at your car, but didn't manage it. Sorry. Sounded good as it went up the hill.
The link has nice pix, sadly you didn't catch mine. You got the Jowetts though. I wanted to go over to see them, but again didn't manage it. I have history with them.

Didn’t get any pictures of your car but if did sound good. Both the red and white GT3’s sounded fantastic as did some of the Exige’s.

Was a good day. Never been there before, will return. Nice to meet you MDiff, though if you wanted to go off roading you should have asked to borrow my Nomad hehe

Nice to chat to a few others of you too.

Thanks PH

Thanks for the pics and vids. I didn’t get to see yours actually going up the hill but it did sound good just idling in the queue

Yeah, I thought it was a bit poor expecting paying guests to park their nice cars in a muddy field.

Glad I didn't take the Aston.

Good half day out (only got there at lunch). Well organised and good fun to watch people give it a go. Nice to see a PH stand and some jumpers about the place too (I suggest this last time!).

I took a lot of photos, 800 or so. I've ditched a lot, as I'm crap, the rest are in the link below. Shot in RAW, happy to pass them along if you want. Man maths dictates the issue is with my old gear, not me!

MDifficult, there are 3 blurry ones of you going past me included. I've left the following photos off, but happy to add them if you are, or can email them. They're nothing special, just sore wounds and all that hehe (and a video of the removal eek)

Big thanks to the 4 or so lads who helped bump start my 2002 too! Made it home without stalling it.

Was a good day despite the confusion in the morning about second runs, could have done with a bit of direction from the PH team tbh.
Felt for the TVR owner that clipped the barrier - didn’t look too bad but fibreglass repairs are pricey these days.

It was a great day out, both driving up the hill and putting faces to authors of readers cars threads.

I noticed the 2002 coming in - it looked good. Thanks for getting photos of my MR2 Roadster.

Too soon? hehe Didn't get to meet you Will, hopefully at the next day! What a fantastic day out, thoroughly enjoyed it. I'll get my photos edited and posted here over the next couple of days.

I think only my first or second pistonheads event since signing up decades ago. Had a real blast and lovely to meet so many fellow petrol heads.


Amazing day, still buzzing from it!

It was a good day out; I much prefer this style of Sunday Service where there is something to do rather than just standing in a car park looking at cars.

Hill climbing is loads harder than I looks or sounds!
