Some brilliant pictures, thanks for sharing everyone. Congrats to the 'organisers' of the cruise / stand and associated goings on. It looked like a blast. Here's hoping I can join in next year. *applauds everyone* Well done. :tup:

My first time there. Was always going to be a bit of a hard act to follow with the last one being AITP (which was the best show I've ever been to) but it was a good event. I think it could be improved by a bit more to do and see- more trade stands, maybe some sort of presentation arena with a commentator I have seen work well at other events. Out of our control I appreciate but they gave us a poor pitch behind the Cafe I thought which meant we didnt get that much interest in terms of visitors browsing our cars and me and a few others couldnt find our own pitch on arrival.
Negative points out the way though the trip was made worth while for me for the Parade Laps alone- that was great fun. I'm not one for thrashing my slow, soft, old motor round in a track day type environment but I thought worth a go at the lunch time parade for £10. I was thinking it would be follow my leader, 3rd gear at 30mph all the way round for one lap. I was pleasantly surprised to see the pace car go throttling out the pitlane and everyone going hell for leather! It was just the right balance for someone that wants a bit of track fun but doesnt want to thrash their car. The train of cars would speed up round 1-2 corners giving you the chance to push the car a bit and break a bit of traction but then would come to a complete stop to allow everyone to catch up again meaning you were not destroying your car for the length of a whole lap. We also did around 4-5 laps when I was expecting one lap which was great. On top of this you get photographers taking photos of your car out on track against such a great back drop. For £10 I would certainly recommend it. |
Great day as usual. My favourite day of the year, apart from my wedding anniversary, obviously.. :tup:

Great set of pictures and thanks to all for sharing.
Reference the 80GT, I presume that belongs to Audi ? Obviously a garage queen as has virtually no MOT history apart from the past 3 years in which time its done 46 miles...... a museum piece I guess? |

Yes definitely the car to "have again". Versatility, style, economy,practicality, performance, comfort, it ticked every box for sure. :tup:
