British Car Meeting - Morges, 3 October

[Sortie 10]

A quick heads-up for this event see www.british-cars.ch/index_a.html

I went last year and spent a cracking day beside the lake and will be trying to make the trip this year - featured marques are Austin Healey and (predictably) Mini and Morgan.

Get it in your diaries now!

I hope it doesn't rain too much (like most years). Looking forward on seeing some PHers. Who is coming?

Looks good. How does it compare to the meet at Mollis ?

We should be there too, debbie should also be coming in her mini (original)

I only get back from holiday at 12h00 on the 3rd, but will be there in the afternoon with the RS500 on the Eggenberger pitch. You spot me a mile off. I'll be dishevelled and drinking Red Bull whilst frantically trying to clean the car.

[UltimaCH]

Wait for the rain and you'll have no need to wash the car

I hope it doesn't rain again. The car will be clean and prepped in time for the meeting (working on it in the evenings before I go away). Sadly, last year was quite breezy and the car was continually being covered in dust from the pathway round the park. I was fortunate that the car went under the Eggenberger gazebo so it didn't get wet, but this year, if it's raining, the RS (and I) stay at home. It's not really sensible to drive it in the wet...

quick reminder this is THIS weekend, we'll be driving down from the zurich area if anyone wants to meet up, It had better not rain as we spent a long time on sunday cleaning the car!!

[UltimaCH]

Looking forward to a a nice sunny autumn day

FWIW I heard a rumour that the Top Gear lads might be putting in an appearance...anyone else heard this?

[UltimaCH]

No, but the Stig walking around Morges would be cool

Looking forward to some photos, if possible.

Regards from sunny Graubuenden

Looks like some nice cars there.

Don't know if some of them where trekking around Aegeri (Zug) on Sunday because I saw lots of classic British Cars, from a Jag F-Type, Aston DB2, and plenty of Austin Healey 3000's.

Thanks for the pics.

The GT40 was also there last year (wet)

[Roop]

Nice pics, tnx and good to catch up again...! I was only there a few hours, still massively jetlagged so gave it up around 3.30pm.

Glad the weather held out this year - it was lovely...!

Some real quality in the car park too - a cracking gullwing Merc 300SL with Rudge wheels.

Was great to see the support this event has from far and wide - the Belgian Triumph club overnighted in "my" village of Malbuisson (Doubs,France) . Very pleasing that few (if any) cars were trailer queens - all the cars I saw had clearly been driven to the event.

Morges capped a very special fortnight's holiday for me - starting with three full days at the Goodwood Revival then 1400 miles of D road driving in France.

If any of the organising team read or post on PH perhaps they could take a bow and post a message - you guys clearly work very hard to make this a very, very, important and enjoyable event on the classic car calendar, oh - don't change a thing, I think the relaxed, informality is as much a part as the sensational location. Keep up the good work, and see you next year!
