Latest seems to imply dry until mid afternoon tomorrow, I best get out and prep the cars then

We are leaving soon, staying in a hotel and will try & get to Shelsley Walsh for around 8 8-30.

See you tomorrow, folks. Oh, and drive carefully - particularly on the hill. Especially if it's going to be wet.

Alfa Muppet · Aug 22, 2015

See you all there - looking good for the morning

Alfa Muppet · Aug 22, 2015

By the way - does anyone have a spare helmet I could borrow for tomorrow ?

zagatoes30 · Aug 22, 2015

Two cars clean as long as the weather holds.

StuartW · Aug 22, 2015

Fingers crossed - enjoy!

Polished my helmet, then me 33

Just the camera kit to sort then all ready!

I can bring my helmet along but I am concerned I might get tempted to sign the SZ up for an afternoon run up the hill

Well if you don't book it at 9am sharp it won't happen

Be gret to see the SZ on the hill hehe

Guys on the stand keep an eye out for a Berlinetta (probably spelt that wrong) joining us about 10 am

Helmet packed, it appears one of my friends is organising so I might have a little word

You'll stand a shot of getting car of the show award then, one of the organisers likes Alfa's.... especially if you do the hill

Doubt it, she once shocked us by stating that she had a little Beetle, followed by the statement that it runs standing quarters at Santa Pod in under 9 secs - turns out it is a Beetle based dragster running a supercharged or Turbo'd 2.4 Porsche engine

Fantastic day, marred by the rain that started at lunch time, held off till we finished our runs. I wasn't quick on the hill but had fun, vids on the way.

Pics time -

We made it look good

Alfa V6 engined Lotus

Alfa Boxer engined Morris

Just spotted the one Masser -

If that is the silver one, also has a Alfa V6 in the back

Great day out until the rain or to be precise hail arrived. Some good stuff there but as always don't assume what you see there are often strange hybrids. The Triumph Herald running a supercharged MX5 running gear and that V8 Mk 1 Escort on a space frame chassis.

But my favourite oddball was that lowered Lotus Elite, just awesome

And on the hill, how quick was that Renault 21 Turbo

lisknik · Aug 23, 2015

Right the very slow first run (mind the second two ain't much quicker! )

This is how it should be done https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4k9RDDQushs
