Had a great time at the show, even if I did bring along what's probably the dullest (and quite muddy) car of the show (Skoda Superb!) hehe

I noticed somebody taking photo's of the cars coming in by the first roundabout. Who was that?
I wonder if they got a picture of Synchro doing drifting laps of the roundabout, with me following and suffering massive understeer trying to emulate it hehehehe

As for the muddiest bit..... I think I would have beaten that had I been in the main corral!

I thought all the fuss would have been at the animal paw prints all over thw black 458! hehe
Sure I heard the owner say that was caused by a fox issue. Think if it were my car the foxes might suddenly find themselves faced with an air rifle issue.

I haven't seen much written about this lovely looking Ford! Love the understated looks, with the wheels a hint as to it's potential. If the owner's on here, they could fill us in with a bit more info. smile

I overhead 2.3, and it's got a turbo. Definitely not original biggrin

Oh, never heard that announcement, oops! Didn't get any emails either as have an old email registered on here.
No e-mails went out AFAIK but I would've missed the announcement too if it were 5 minutes later. - I think they asked everyone to move their cars a while before they actually needed the space though to allow some time for everyone. I don't think there were any problems, unless somebody knows otherwise! smile

Great day out although was colder than i first expected!

Good array of cars of all types, though seems the amg crew were out in force, never seen so many c63's!

Well done to Mercedes for providing such a good venue as always, staff were friendly and really "got" the event. Not my first sunday service but would say one of the best.

Also well done to pistonheads for a really well organised event, and even acknowledging the armistice silence. What more could you ask!

That's nice to hear thank you (especially amongst all the amazing cars!) - the E28 is mine. I didn't try getting a picture of it as I only had my phone and the sun seemed to be in the 'wrong' place. It wasn't very clean either! I don't suppose anyone else did with some decent equipment?
Not at all, I'm a big BMW fan and have an E30 325 sport myself of a similar age.
I did take a photo of your car although it was from the rear due to the sun and was on my phone so apologies.

I don't normally bother doing video, but I did capture a very short clip of the Carrera GT, Enzo, 911 and MP4-12C leaving. Not a great video but the 911 sounded awesome!

It appears I wasn't the only one to like the M5 - stupidly I only managed to get one photo of it, so here it is...

Just in front in the Yeti at 13 seconds. Haha. Bottled out of taking the M135i due to our muddy roads on the building site that is our new build estate.
