Gurston Down Hillclimb

The mysterious private representatives club (private rep club for short) met again on Saturday by invite only... And it was a superb event too...

I'll post some more pictures in a bit.

If you look at this picture, in full scale, you can see the pheasant just behind the drivers helmet...

The field was full of the things (Pheasants, not Westfields)... And they really were totally oblivious to all manner of fire breathing metal whistling past their lug-holes less than a dozen yards away...

Some more for you...

Had to deal with the strange phenomenon of sunshine!!

You might spot some familiar faces in some of the backgrounds.

Great shots there - looks like a lovely afternoon!

I went to gurston with my old man a few years back; saw the silver quattro as well as a white one (see below), and remember thinking that it was a shame that the metro only had a pushrod four, albeit rear-mounted, as it was a lovely recreation. Is that still the same?

...as you can see, despite being at a similar time of year the weather was far from it!

lol... And it had to be the run where you need a bus service to get to the apex...

I tell you what though, I'm like a boiled lobster after all that sun...

Booty · 21-04-10, 09:21 PM

You know, I was just going to say that you still missed that flippin apex!! Very elusive at this time of the year!
So would that make it the 'second private representatives get-together' then?
Nice to see you again Tim and Andy.
