He's mown the grass in his field!

Always a wonderful day out. I'm at Biggin Hill all weekend or I'd have definitely been there. Take pics please

We'll be there. Thoroughly enjoyed it the last time.

[pete]

What sort of time ian

[Chillidoggy]

If I read it correctly, it doesn't start until midday, so I guess we"ll aim to be there for then.

[martynv]

Gonna try and make it along in the afternoon. I hope there's some indication of where it is as you can't see much at all in google maps and street view.

 

[pete]

Should be there about 1.00

[Bibs]

It's up here @martynv

[martynv]

Thanks Bibs

Just got home from another very good outing at Malcolm Ricketts gaff. The aforementioned improvements to the car parking weren't immediately apparent, but there were mushrooms the size of dinner plates growing there, so perhaps that was it. Seriously, this is such a nice event, and the variety of classics and exotics in the car park is arguably almost as good as the main exhibits! Wayne's refurbed red turbo was a credit to him, and nice to meet up with other Esprit owners Alan and Stuart. There was some bloke called Pete there, dunno who he was, though.

First off, one of my personal dream cars, sorry but it's not a Lotus. Whoever owns this stunning RHD De Tomaso Panthers GT5s is a lucky man, absolutely gorgeous it was, and I'd sell everything to buy it. Look at those wheelarches...

Wayne's World....

More to follow when I've had another beer.

Yeah, a bit rich if you ask me, Wayne. Elise owners, eh? What can you do with them?
