For me it's meeting the people (even you Jason) and if it costs £25 and a four hour drive each way for that then I'm in every time.
This year was one of my favourites as on top of meeting lots of people I got to buy a load of PreA parts, a first in the 8 times I've done it.

Was that from Robin (faded yellow preA)? I only saw him just before we about to leave and only had a brief chat, but he mentioned he had emptied somebody's pockets

I always find it a bit empty - missing soul. Similarly though it's great to see my mates (though had to leave early) and I'll probably go next year
To paraphrase woody Allen - sex with someone you don't love is an empty and meaningless act. But as empty and meaningless acts go, it's one of the best
If they had a decent auto jumble I'd be interested

Sladey- I said hello briefly as you pulled in.
Spent the rest of the day trying to find you again to ask where you had got the champion/hot rod sticker from?

It's a lovely setting, the cars are all great and a UK record for blue 914s! The parade was a bit lack lustre and the Auction tent spoilt the feel of the top lawn although by pushing all the trade to the bottom made it feel busier trade wise.
Makes a lovely change that an event isn't spoilt by fairground rides, unrelated tat for sale and horse-meat burger vans
Will happily go next year.

Hi Clive sorry you couldn't find me
I've had a look in my emails and found the receipt from the sticker - however the eBay listing is no longer there. I found the eBay shop and their website
This one is similar but related to rat rods
http://www.autotattoo.com.au/product/ra ... l-sticker/
I've been through 20 pages on the site and can't find it
If you do find it please let me know as when I polish my paint I'll have to replace the sticker

Predictive text!
Should have read ' the difference between making love and sex'

I think that the auction added something a bit different to the event, autojumble would be good. I was suprised the area around the castle wasn't used a little more only seemed to be one 997 C4S parked around the other side yet the year before there were cars all the way round as i recall.

I did wonder what that 997 C4 was doing there. It contained an elderly couple who appeared to be picnicking, seemingly oblivious to all that was happening around them.
