I think it was one of the best turnouts for a PHSS I’ve been to in a few years. And as other have said the cars on show were great and varied.

It was a great turn out, fabulous mix of cars, was good fun marshaling the entrance with Scrump, just a real shame people were inviting others along who aren't on Pistonheads.

It seemed you guys were doing a good job of turning cars away though. beer

The Alpines looked great,
Loved the wheels on the green one
Surprising you say that considering they were so dirty you could hardly see the colour and kerbed on both sides hehe

Thanks to you both!

Thanks to PH for putting it on, the most obvious bit of bad driving was the C63 that decided to light the rears up when leaving, but it seemed to be mostly well behaved other than that. Let’s hope MB World realise it was a minority.

The yellow 575 and Alpina B5s were the highlight for me. As others have said, I really like the mix of cars, it would have been pretty boring to put all the really nice stuff in one place.

Oh, special mention to the R-Class with a roof box absolutely slammed to the ground, that thing was great biggrin

PTS Brewster Green. And a very brave owner who managed to navigate the potholes in the parking area!

Off topic, but the price doesn't make something interesting. At Bicester they'll pull a Citroën BX inside for parking and point a GT3RS to the main car park.

Nice to see a Renault Spider there this morning, I can't remember the last time I saw one of those biggrin
My point entirely. The Triumph Herald (or was it Vitesse?) and Renault Sport Spyder would be right up there with any exotica. It's nice to see cars that are a bit different from Tesco's car park up the road! biggrin

I played Mrs BoMi a video of the sound and she loves it.

This goes back to the argument of should people have a post count / time served to be able to attend? The only RS3 on the list is someone who joined recently and no posts but their actions could ruin it for PH.
Do people with high post counts driver better?
That’s a very interesting correlation

I was going to break my Cerbera out of storage but then we had the cold snap, extra salt on the roads, rain, etc...

That Seat made me smile, especially the sticker on the back.

The cassette tape was a nice little detail. hehe

It’s great to see that one’s survived. Can’t be too many in that condition.
