Yesterday everything was shot on a Panasonic FZ330. Very versatile and compact bridge camera, although the sensor size limits it (the operator too I expect).My iPhone shot video is up from the other side, 'up wind'.

Thanks PH for another nice morning looking at cars. Particularly like seeing a few TVR's, a definite must own for me at one point. Was also nice to chat to the PH guys there, mostly with Matt about why everyone should buy a GT86.
As for TopCats doing burnouts, that happens EVERY time. I've been to 3 events there now and he always does it, it's a nutty car and he's a pretty nutty guy. I didn't mind the standing ones but agree to then carry on past peoples parked cars probably wasn't on, as much as most of us appreciated the show. If he wants to do that at his own events fine, but I have to say Pistonheads are the first to ask him to calm down a bit, which to me just shows they care about their members cars at events they host.

Loved the Sunday Service. Yes the weather might've put off some people but I for one was glad I made the trek down from Birmingham. 3rd Service I've been to now and I'm sure it won't be my last one that's for sure. The Burnout I'm sure will (and from what I have read "has") divided opinions. I was the in the White DC5 that was asked to move the car since they were planning on doing the Burnout and had no problem at all. To see a car like that being driven like it was meant to was awesome. Yes doing it past parked cars is a bit of a blurry line however, it wasn't as if the driver had just jump out of a Polo Bluemotion (for example)
For the guy who takes photos under RWS Motorsport could you get intouch please mate since you took a couple of really nice photos of my DC5 that I would like if possible
Overall, Two Thumbs Up from me... I'd give more but I've ran out of thumbs

It only reaffirmed the desire I've had since seeing the Tuscan unveiled as a kid...I have to have one!

Jesus Christ. A business opens its doors on a weekend, hosts a meet, provides shelter, toilets, coffee and lets rip in a very well known Sagaris, outside their business, on the industrial estate that they pay rates on and all you can do is complain? Really?
I'd like to say a huge thanks to both the PH staff and Topcats.
Well said, just goes to show whatever you do someone will moan, even if it is free.I'd like to say a huge thanks to both the PH staff and Topcats.
Well done PH and Topcats, another enjoyable event. Great show by Warren in the Sag.
A few more quickly processed pics...

Did not manage to get it all off but they are good enough for brighton speed trials at the weekend and with a bit more time I am sure they will be back like they used to be.
The tyres that only had 200 miles on them (if that) are finished but they were rubbish anyway and it seems like most think they had a good send off.
