What a fantastic weekend - great roads, scenery, people, cars, food, beer and weather! Did I miss anything?

Top man James for organising such a superb weekend - I am really looking forward to the next event, wherever it may be. And a few evening get togethers with the Northern crowd.

Can't trump Gary's pictures, but here are just a couple from those I took.

:rr: ...something like this ?
Sorry the car had trouble Gary, that is the fun of these old cars. Mine ran perfect all weekend give or take the occasional POP from the exhaust (OK, more than occasional ans more BANG than pop) I even made it home without the battery running flat (No charging !)
If Only I had survived a little better. A dodgy scallop or something had me visiting every motorway services between York and Leicester ! Ho Hum !

Excellent pictures Gary. Or should I say Gary's wife (sorry I'm terrrible with names). I think I'll be downloading a few of them.

Blimey, I didn't realise I was so close to Phil going over that hump back bridge.
