I bought the tickets but the weather in Wakefield was crap all morning.
Didn't fancy getting the Griff out & getting stuck in any mud!

Yup.

Warm and sunny.

Slightly fewer cars and people than the more recent pre-covid gatherings, but many great cars to look at.

Some lovely Lambos, Mclarens, Tivs (obviously), AC Cobras (1 genuine, several replicas), Atom.

Nice VXR220.

Loads of others.

Good day out as usual.

Yes, our daughter was in Ripon at 10am and said it was dry and sunny. It was raining in Batley but set off around 10.30 and it soon cleared. Arriving much later than usual meant no queues to get in so that was a bonus. Stayed until about 3.30.

P.S. No mud, it was dry. wink

Yep, sorry to say it was a grand morning, lots of sunshine and a gentle breeze.

A bit too warm at times but no mud to speak of.

Lots of nice TVRs.

Even with the sound turned off, what an IRRITATING film!

Endless BMWs (at length...) plus all those sick-making short-shots - I'd swear an Integrale sat in the background of one, Alfa GTV in another - but, apart from the odd Lambo', their camera-person only bounces at any Italian car.

So, no, I won't be watching their next...

Red Integrale was parked close to the GTV. Managed to see them both leave too.

As I don't own a BMW or Lambo, no chance of seeing my car then. A mega brief glimpse of the rear bumper of mine as the camera viewed the blue Sagaris after a quick run along the TVRs. frown

Because it comes from clouds. Take a look up in the air next time you're out an about, you'll spot them quite easily.
HTH biggrin
