I'll be there! Doing the Isle of Man tour first, then straight on to the club weekend for the Saturday and the Sunday. See you there!

Me too, coming from France, look out for a bright yellow series 2 OTS, not Jag colour but striking.

We're coming along too. I'm looking forward to it. :D And the weather for Saturday at least looks OK. I think the Sunday drive may be a wet one though.

Completely forgot to upload any pictures of the day! Here's a little selection for you all to browse. Saturday was a gorgeous warm summer's day, and it was still lovely for the evening dinner.

John and Jan Hunt's home and "little back yard" was a lovely setting for the Club and Stanbrook Abbey was very impressive and also a lovely place for dinner. Nice food, great company, Philip cracking the jokes once again, all washed down with a lovely South African red. Sounds ideal to me! :lol:

Image

Some very impressive cars there, all the way from 850036 (used regularly and maintained in a wonderful condition) right through to John's V12 commemorative on display.

Had to take a picture of the red (almost oxblood?) interior of that late 3.8. Look how gorgeous that looks with the red roof.

A quick look at the XKs too! Some excellent cars there as well.

Chris and Linda Jackson's S2 featured in the magazine. Unusual to see Ascot Fawn but it suited the car very well.

Image

One for you there Malcolm

Sunday it threw it down. All day. I had visions of E-type wipers going back and forth for ages, plus we got stuck in traffic on the M42 coming back :( Philip's run was great but would've been even better had the weather held, but you can't have everything.

I like this one, a perfect compliment to one another, both being Opt Maroon with beige :P

All in all a superb weekend, reminds me why I enjoy this club. Great people, great cars and an enjoyable time had by all.

Good pics, and yes, a good weekend. Shame about the weather for the tulip run from Stanbrooke abbey.

As usual Simon you have photographed the event which otherwise would not have been recorded. Sorry I missed it.
It would be nice to put faces to some of the well known names that use the forum. I am sure I have meet some of you on various events but not realised who you were.
Perhaps people should not be so shy and put their photographs and real names in the meet The Rogues Gallery. Surely not all the forum members work for MI5 or are Russian spy's. So far I know what David, Peter, Christopher, Simon, Emmanuel and Steve look like. It is not such a terrible experience.
