Happening this Saturday, 10am to 4pm, Corn St Bristol.. stumbled across it by accident last year, its worth a look, there was a beautiful blue Zonda, plenty of 355's, F40, 348's, lots of Alfas & well worth a wander around. The best bit is when a few of them fire up, its quite a narrow old street & the noise is fantastic!

Gi Jnr needs to be there with his beauties to really make it.

Oh mate... ive been in a daze all weekend, beautiful car, amazing noise, not felt like this since i first saw an Esprit dive off a pier & turn in to a submarine. Ive been thinking i've got a flat i could sell, that will give me £50k.. sell my house, about another £60k ... where can i get the other £65k?!

Thanks for letting me have a dose of 'Merci' it was great to meet up with you at last. How did the photo session go Sunday?

Get about £20k together and that'd pay for one for a year... go on, do it!

Didn't go in the end. Ditched it to put some more miles on the Duke... Next Bank Holiday weekend... hopefully

Shameless double post from the photography forum but I don't care!

Too many people around to get anything other than detail shots of the cars, but thought you might enjoy these;

So Tuan, would that have been you going northbound on the M5, near J27, about 16:30 yesterday (Thurs). Saw a dark coloured Sagaris as I was heading home!
