Would have liked to have made the DDK meet but we've got in the lazy habit of parking the cars up early Friday morning to late Sunday afternoon to avoid driving in the crowds

The Brighton mob has the right idea, peddaling round like a middle-aged slightly less cool ET gang on their cheap-vintage-shopper-challenge bikes. Or there was a French restorer risking the life of Joe public on this chicken chaser

Electric bike [ not scooter] the answer IMO - could even get out to Arnage bend on that.

I wonder what 133mph is like in a 356! I would be tempted to have some aero affects at the front end for stability. I would of naively questioned that a hardtop on that speedster could make less drag?

But then again I don't have the fastest 356 at CLM so what do I know

I dropped by the French owned 356 which I think has been at every CLM recently. I had no idea Vic built the engine. I would of loved to had met him but the chance of bumping into another in those crowds was very low

This is going to sound silly but I think we might not buy general admission tickets next time. Just parking for Mulsanne/Arnane. We enjoyed seeing everyone from DDK again but could easily miss the crowds at the stadium.
