Nice pictures and certainly better than my cheapo camera shots.We had a lot more cars than I expected including two P1800's and two P1800S.Amazons and one rather cool looking PV which I think was volvo as it had a volvo badge,about the only bit original,I'm not knocking it as I think it was awesome.Especially when he drove out and blipped the throttle and spun the wheels.
The ten lucky ticket winners to watch the TT movie had a few friends with them,,,,About thirty bikes crammed into the triple gazeebo.

Met lots of old friends and a few new ones.Including bikers and saab owners.The breakfast was good and fairly generouse.
In all a worthwhile day out.The sun even shone a few times.
I worked out my MPG and it was 125 miles round trip and did 29.44MPG.About average for a 2.3L non turbo with an autobox cruising at around 70Mph and the car wieghs 2250KG.
Pictures later when I get to resize them first.
Regards Brian.

A good day seemed to be had by all - did anyone get round to taking a final count of just how many cars turned up? Got to have easily been double last years efforts!

Will get a few pictures up later, I didn't take as many as last year and was a little pre-occupied with getting a good pic of my Laser Blue under the Ace Cafe signs

Was a good turn out, wasn't sure how many would be there being my first volvo meet - really wish the 480 was finished as not one turned up while I was there, still the T6 did her bit well although munched on a fair bit of fuel on way home

They didn't seem to like my question of "are you all going to lean at each bend and really pretend your there?"
