    Photos And Thanks

     Thanks to Jill And Burton for getting this fantastic event organised.

    When I first heard (nearly 2 years ago) that they wanted to host at Chatsworth I was a bit dismayed  at another country house venue....

    But I was wrong the central location near a major Motorway seemed to have drawn in the masses, My guestimate 900 - 1000 cars

    plenty of trader, varied activities and good food...not your usual flacid burger and cold chips Made this one of the best ive been to.

     

    Thanks must go to the main team also for sorting the judging criteria out  I matched my spec sheet to the forms that were printed in Augusts STHT

    and left it in my windscreen for all to see and it was good to see the guidelines on the back of the boards marking each catergorie

    Thanks to all the people who came up and had a chat...some of them having had rides out at various tracks over the last 2 years...

     

    Well photos

    Showing the increasing level of care given to some of the "Best kept"

     

    The Over Flow section

    At times we had great weather for Ducks our feathered friends showed and interst in the cars !!

     

    ZooM ZooMing in on my car

     

    Red arses together !

     

    If you see me or my car at a track ...please feel free to come up and blag a pass lap

     

    Thanks again

    Re: Photos And Thanks

    Thanks for the photo's. I was so looking forward to attending, it would have been my first club event. On Saturday night one of our servers went "belly up", most of Sunday was spent at work. Once again, thanks for the piccy's.

    Great event all.

     

    Anyone got a shot showing *all* the cars including the side car park - could have done with an aerial shot!  I'm trying to get across the sheer number of Mazdas in one place to one of the US forums...!
