Most of the DDk'ers on Chris's video seem to have been struck with some kind of red face disease - too much sun? or ale flush?! ;)

Looks like a great do - I must attend one year.

Ref the weather, to be fair it had been stunning since we left hull on weds. The drive down over 2 days was in perfect weather as was fri evening. It was a bit wet sat morning for track laps, then it threw it down sun morning, but by lunchtime it was drying up and sun afternoon was stunning sunshine again as was all of Monday . Plenty of ddkers with sunburnt faces and 'drivers arm'

A totally brilliant film Chris that says it all and the definitive shot of the wet campsite.
It is a shame that nobody met up with black betty who posted some great pictures all the same
We had a fabulous trip down and back with ideal weather for a Targa.
I had a ball following Sladey and Ian yet again and even had an unforgettable trip in the iconic Sladey machine.

Some random snaps from me:-

Hello James, is the blue car a '73E? Number plate looks familiar but I can't quite place it. Thanks.

A gift from Le Mans! Probably from a campsite nail.

Seems common thing this, I too found a flat tire in the morning after coming home, probably a gift from the camp site... Oh well, gives me a good reason to restore those wheels.
