I'll be there on the Sunday, with my new Dyane. Anyone else going? I see there are a few 2cvs entered for the hillclimb.

Rhythm thief, you should've come over and said hi in the paddock! Sparrow and I were there with our respective BMW powered motors.

Flipping brilliant weekend!

Same car Geo,

Pete & Jim were sharing Pete's black car.

Jon & Martin were sharing the 602 Sealion Race car

and I was in the bmw bamboo in the post 74 Saloon Car class.

I believe the clutch was going on the matt black Sparrow Automotive BMW car and to start with one of the rear shocks was wound off too soft... we had a wet second practice run in the morning but it was dry for the two timed competition runs in the afternoon.
