Yes, I'll be there in my Datsun Laurel. Got a busy day of cleaning and polishing tomorrow!

Yep, I'll be keeping an eye open!.

I had hoped to get my 1981 Colt Lancer Turbo in this year, but at time of writing it's up on stands awaiting the suspension parts being shot-blasted and new bushes installed in the rear. With any luck, some funds and a bit of help it'll be there next year in full Rally striping.

Saw a lovely M Reg Mark 3 Cortina 2000E in Ipswich today, in blue with a black vinyl roof near Nacton, he gave it some beans off the roundabout!. Hopefully it'll be in the Park tomorrow.

Ooh, I'd like to have seen your Colt there. There were a few new-to-me Japanese cars on the event last year.

The Cortina sounds like it belongs to Triggerdocker who sometimes comes on here, he will be on the run in it. It's just been resprayed, I'm looking forward to seeing it myself.

The sun's shining and I've got two camera batteries being charged :-)

Guilty! That was me in the Cortina, I was just coming back from Sainsburys getting petrol and I did pull away sharpish on the roundabout as the cars were nipping round quickly!

The Felixstowe run was excellent as always and that Lancia HPE was stunning, it's a real credit to you.

Yes, I had a great time too. I also enjoyed seeing the Lancia and I was quite taken with the Jensen CV8 next to me in the park.

Was great fun this year, our bright orange mgb gt behaved itself in the cooler weather
