Thought we had 29 cars in total today? 28 Marinas/Itals and a Pilgrim Bulldog.

Just got back. Rode in three Marinas (including Fruity's gorgeous coupe which I now severely want) and managed to sell some more bits off JWC to keep some others going.

Roll on tomorrow 8-)

Nice one. Dad may have been only counting Marinas and itals. Dunno.

Back myself, rather wet but a great couple of days.

Thanks to all the efforts put in by the organisers and all those who brought their lovely cars along, particularly to those who brought them today in the rubbish weather!

Nice to meet some of you today, Josh and Eamonn particularly; had to scoot off as Mrs was getting prickly.... :wink:

Nice seeing you again as well Mike, maybe next time you'll have your Ital back on the road ;) If not it'll have to be by a rail line so at least you can turn up in something classic :lol:
