Bath Pageant of Motoring - Light on Porsche Content

Prompted by a post by gojackflash in 914 section, thought I'd put something here...
http://www.bathpageantofmotoring.com/
I've not been to this before but hear it's well organised and an eclectic mix of classic cars & bikes.
Registration closed yesterday for "exhibiting" your car but I bet they'll be keen to get lots of early Porsche on site, so worth getting in touch if you want to be there. Only £5 entry for exhibiting car & occupants, against normal ticket of £10 each for adults.
Weather forecast for this w/e is great so could be a nice family day out

Despite the word Pageant in the name, it was a good event. OK so it wasn't Goodwood.. more like a car & bike themed Village Fete. But it was well organised and a nice scale with enough interesting cars and a good atmosphere. The weather helped bring people out and given that the proceeds go to Charity, deserved the support.
I spent the day giving rides (but not half as many as the very loud Lamborghini Murcielago
) so didn't take too many pics but here's few.... but only a couple of early Porsche
Good to meet DDKer gojackflash and his Silver 914. I think we could get a pretty good showing of local DDK 356, 914 & early 911's, something for next year?
Nice touch by Jack

A very nice Roger Bray restored 356 SC. Had a chat with the owner and he may well find his way back here.. lovely car.
A couple of good looking Chesils made an appearance in the show ring

Which car did you choose to take the punters out in, Nigel?

Yep, showing proper respect!
Hot n Sunny, quick blasts around a short twisty route... had to be the Caterham!
