Nice find, not seen this before. Will definitely pop along to Mount Edgecombe, after the morning swim at Whitsands.

Looks like the weather will be great.

Passed by Lostwithiel today, on route to Launceston, when I spotted a blue Noble pulling out to join main carriageway. Just wondered if was anyone here?

Don't think it was taking part and didn't see it in the car park but then I didn't get there till 1pm when the timed runs started.

Gutted I didn't make the hillclimb. SWMBO bullied me into taking her to Launceston for the country show. Once we got there she changed her mind, so we came down the A39 via Widemouth Bay. We were in our old BMW 02 so it was still fun, but the hill would have been funner!

Show was good. Bumped into Les, plus a Z4Forum Member I'd only met online, who recognised my car, strange world we live in.

A couple of Photo,s







My Personel Car of the Show, was this little number from Jaguar.



















Best American Car at an American Car show. Not to shabby Les.

Hope your lad had a grest day.

A lot more attention on your car, that Mr Ervines F1 machine.

Looks like a good day out, with better weather than they expected (there were rumours it would be cancelled last week).

Sadly I spent the morning digging holes followed by a couple of hours with posts and a cement mixer, than a nice break before unwrapping my new pollen filter and spending a couple of hours bent over the gransport practicing my Anglo Saxon.

Thanks for the pics John. Looks like a well attended show.
They do need to get their grass cut for next year though! wink
Some more old classics then newer stuff then? And nothing that remotely Italian either?
The hill climb was good as nice to see the cars actually running, hearing them and seeing them both accelerate and negotiate the bends. There was one car there with a formula one engine in. Silly really as didn't either have enough rubber or right sort to get it all down on the tarmac. Less is more I think in this case!

Cheers John , it was a good day, nice to see you again .

no one was more surprised about winning than me !!!!!!!!! But my boy was smiling from ear to ear , it was worth going just to see his face , especially as this was his first ever car show !!!!!!!!
I was really surprised by the mix of cars on show. , and what a fantastic setting

Great pictures by the way , my boy was in charge of our pictures , so haven't looked yet lol !!!!!!!
he was really taken with the short vehicle mini , did you see it !!! Lol

Chris , hope you had a good day , it sounded as though you did ,
From memory I think there were a couple of ferraris , and Ernie was there with his Lambo but not too many others

Not sure where I will be this weekend yet , have you got anything planned ????
Cheers
Les
