A Routemaster? If so my Dad will go mental, he owns a few...

A big red bus driven by a small bear?

Wish I could of been there but a combination of hiked ferry fares to catch the day trippers over the bank holiday and me wanting to go to the mainland with some money in my pocket means I could only afford one trip across the water this season.

Best of luck chaps, I am sure it will be a total success.

Thanks to all those that turned out today, the weather was indeed kind for us.

I hope you all enjoyed it.!

What a superb show and day!

Many, many thanks to Chris and co for all the organization and Gazeebo tasks, we never got to sample the shade under it this year as there was so much to see in so little time!

My highlight of the day was the surprise of seeing Len Hughes for the first time since he fell ill a year ago. Looking well, smiling and that fabulous dark sense of humour..

Graham Robson was the announcer and commentator, while a very good Billy Connelly look-alike wandered around.

Lord Monty was handing out the odd trophy..looks a very old and frail petrolhead indeed..

Some cars that caught my eye..

An early base model Sierra..








A very early Maxi..














Lovely patina..and also out of focus

Great day, thanks Chris for all your efforts in setting it up.

Good to be back in a Dolly again and seeing lots of old faces.

Here are a couple of photos of are group.

Thanks again.
