What a great day - fab weather, good company. Still think the wooden three wheeler should have won the kit car prize though.
I'll post some pics once I've downloaded them.

I went to Kop Hill climb yesterday and well, what can I say, it was absolutely superb with 100's of cars from 1903 to 2012 of all types and shapes.

Outside of Goodwood I have not see so many exotic and rare cars worth millions of pounds. And this event had cars that you would never see at Goodwood!!
From this....

Me too, it seems to be the best kept secret classic car event!! It's not listed in the classic mags I read so you seem to have to know about it.
Amazingly most of the entrants seemed to be very local.
Take a look at the entrants listing...

And it was very well organised by a bunch of volunteers.

Blimey, a massive list. Almost as big as the Classic Car Show at the NEC.
Must make a note of it

Last year it was great show with many rare classic cars and a few new super cars. Its a great day out!!
I'm not yet sure if I'll make it myself but if you've not been before, this is a highly recommended show.
If your not sure, take a look at my pictures from last year...

I said to myself last year after seeing your pics Peter, that I must go to this years event. So I will be there.
Just hope I get the same weather as you.
