Hopefully I'll make it, mainly depends if it's dry as I haven't got any form of roof at all!

You bet. Driving up from West Sussex for a prompt 8am arrival & park up. Then into the café for burger & coffee before the crowds.
I had forgotten the theme otherwise I'm happy to park on the grass amidst the trees opposite the entrance.
After I plan to attend the hill climb at Gurston Down a few miles away.
Should be a cracking petrol-head day.

Great photos, I thought it was a good turnout and selection of cars. I left when the spots of rain started to come down. There was a nasty looking accident on the main road up to the A303 on the way back, hopefully everyone was ok.

Was quieter than the last one I went to but still a good turnout.

Great photos! You got both my Elise and and my Dad's Z4M.

I also left a bit early and just got home as the rain started!

Come the rain I decided against going on to Gurston Down.
By the way who's the very weird slightly overweight guy in blue jeans who leans backwards as he walks & keeps folding his hands above his head? He is always on his own pointing his camera at everything in such a random way I'm convinced he never takes a shot. He insists on engaging everybody in conversation which on Sunday I overheard included something about having to go home soon to Mum. He's at every Wilton Meet & even Goodwood.
Is he just odd or a well known photographer?

I think you spelt "a little eccentric" wrong...

He certainly is - he's one of us. Car enthusiasts don't come any more enthusiastic.

If you ever turn up to any meet of more than 3 fast cars and he's not around, then there'll be something not quite right in the world. smile
