Kop Hill

[carlo996]

Is anyone planning on attending Kop Hill this weekend. Both McLaren and Ferrari are well represented. Fingers crossed with the weather (as always)

[SimSer]

I was wondering the same. No PHers going there to display along each other? Not even as Visitors?

Been going for several years, brilliant day, like a mini Goodwood fos without the snob element

[carlo996]

It’s especially poignant this year with the passing of Paddy Hopkirk, a nicer guy you couldn’t meet. He once promised to sign my car, unfortunately we never got it done. So. This year I pushed the boat out and made the ‘Tributo’. Fairly obvious colours, tbh I was up against it time wise so had to simplify things a tad. However. Paddy’s signature and number are proudly displayed, as is a twist on the logo to pay my respects to JK. A top guy and massive supporter of Kop Hill.

Please come and say hi, I doubt you’ll miss the car

Same here, plus it's only 20 minutes away from me.

As a biker it always surprises me the old boys on their bikes, and how they keep them running

Is Guy Loverage doing the commentary?

[Ed Moses]

We will be there tomorrow.

I’ll be running the hill again in the Dodge Monaco if anyone wants to come and say hello:

It was good to see this go up the hill earlier - a fun and varied event as ever and a great way to spend a few hours in Pistonhead fun!

Likewise....

[Mr Tidy]

I plan to go tomorrow as the weather looks good.

It'll be my first time there so I'm looking forward to it after getting a taster at the Shere Hill Climb a few weeks ago.

I was there today with my two boys and one of their mates. Was a fantastic day. Loved the Atom and the police car. Something for everyone,from a 1907 Berliet with a Curtiss aero engine to a Mclaren Speedtail.

[Nemophilist]

We go most years.

This year I am abroad so the family will be attending without me.

I am a little sad to be missing out. It’s always been a brilliant day

Stratos replica sounded epic

Famous at last!

Had a great day on Saturday. My third time at Kop Hill and hopefully many more to come. It’s a really well run event with an amazing range of cars and friendly owners. People in the town seem to get a big kick out of the event too with lots of people camped out along the return route.

Agreed. It's a great event.

I had a great time on Sunday and couldn't resist getting a photo of this Fiat as my Mum had a 600 as her first car.
