I'll be there, have tickets already. It was a good day out last year.

Will be squeezing the full picnic kit, table, and chairs, into the California with the roof down. The only problem will be keeping the bubbly chilled, the boot gets pretty warm.

Easy fix. Buy a chiller box that plugs into the lighter socket. We have one and use it several times a year attending various sporting events.

Have an old one. I assume the new ones are more efficient but ours works pretty OK

Any plans to meet up on the way? Could get together at Scotch Corner services and drive in from there.

There’s a nice back road (B6274) that comes out in Staindrop

Possibly - what time are you thinking?

This or earlier works for me. I have to collect my ticket on the gate or something as I blagged a free one via AROC. Will contact @MrMickS directly.

Might not make the meet at Scotch Corner, don't want to slow you gentlemen down in your newer machinery, but I'm aiming to be there about 10:00, save me a space if you're there first!

Great day out in a lovely setting and fantastic weather. Good to see everyone and to meet @MaserAndy. Highlight was the QP1 owned by a lovely bloke from Kirby Lonsdale. Only has it a few months and gradually working through a few jobs. Also a great little Abarth and a Montreal.

It was nice to meet a few faces and an enjoyable way to spend a few of hours this afternoon. The little abarth was a stunner.

It was a great day at a fantastic location with perfect weather and good company.

The chap with the QP I used it to drive to his office daily. Which shows confidence and dedication.

As well as the little Abarth there were some other unusual cars including this Zagato Fulvia
