Got mine today so delivering OK. Bringing my mate and his 8 year old who is apparently very excited (using free passenger ticket and bought a child one for the youngster alongside my own). Bring it on!

[AB]

Got mine, was just going through the arrangements with my wife and I'd forgotten next Saturday was my wedding anniversary

I've got a keeper here, she said she knew how much I was looking forward to it so I must still go.

Hate to be that guy, but nothing received here (and nothing in junk/spam etc). Would you mind checking please? I've had the other emails so far.

ETA - all sorted.

Just a heads-up for those coming down the A43.

It's Moto GP at Silverstone this weekend, so it could be busy in that area.

Another one here missing the 29th July email / Display car attendee ticket, map etc.

MGA reg 5660 CD

Have fun folks, sadly I didn't get accepted this year or missed the e-mail about it, but turns out I wouldn't have been able to make it anyway.

[AB]

Ever tried to find somewhere to give your car a clean 170 miles from home at 8pm at night? Or an open Halfords? Finally got it looking acceptable.

I'm in a lovely hotel in Woodstock, shame I'm going to be leaving to early to have breakfast. Hopefully the bacon butties on-site are better than last year!

Assuming The feathers, AB, very nice since the renovation

Pop to The Woodstock coffee shop for an early coffee and pasty (opens at 7:30 I think), then go this way and avoid the A34.

Yep, The Feathers, lovely room.

Got to be at Bicester between 7 and 8 so I might be pushing it for picking up a 7:30 coffee but the nice girl on reception said she'd organise coffee and pastries at 7 which was nice of her. Thanks for the heads up on the route.

Weather still looks OK, warmer than today but not as sunny or humid. Looking forward to it.

Just got back. Great event & venue. Fantastic cars everywhere you looked. Sensory overload. Ps. Thanks for the free coffee from Rave !

Anyone see any other R107 SLs apart from mine ?

[Jules Sunley]

Fantastic event at Bicester today. Met some lovely people, saw lot of great cars, and to top it off met VBH who I have fancied since the Max Power days. Well done PH team, best event of the year and a happy boy.

[fantheman80]

What a day, I’ve been to each annual service and it’s got better and better and today i think it’s now better than the scramble. Congrats to PH team.

[moneypits]

Agreed. Superb day and what everyone was commenting on was how civilised, organised and friendly it felt. Met some really good people and had lots of chats around the Skyline.

Brilliant event, PH. Up there with the Scramble.

[Glenn63]

Agree with the above was a great day. I missed last year came the one before and it was much bigger this time, cars, food vendors, stalls, stage action, all was much improved.
Some really fantastic cars on display and massive turnout with some rare stuff, but some of the more normal older cars that were still immaculate was really impressive liquid yellow Clio in future classics was stunning and the Vectra ST200 has to be one of the rarest cars.
Back in another hotel tonight ready for Santa Pod tomorrow, another first for me, it s been a good weekend

My first Annual Service and it was fantastic. Lovely people everywhere. Chilled event. Lovely cars and stands and things to do. Well worth it. Really well done to the organisers.

[Pupp]

Best one yet; thoroughly enjoyed. Great day. Thanks

[ziggy328]

Agreed. Brilliant. Think I might have sun stoke though 😎☀️☀️
