Cars in the Park - Newby Hall, near Ripon, 8 May 2016

Super day. Good variety of cars.
Did anyone do a burnout on the exit? big crowd all with their phones out ready and sort of expected...looking at the black tyre colour of the road! (private straight bit of road still on the estate, for those not there!)
I didn't, but did give it some wellie though once moving!

No - Chris the organiser was stood there and I note he has posted on Facebook about banning people as a result!

Anyway some photos. There's always things you've never seen before - BMW M1 this time. Looked fantastic although XJ220, SWB ur-Quattro and Stratos were pretty special as well.



Good Masser turnout both forum and non. Now we just need to think of a way to advertise the forum better....

Great photos, thanks David - lovely to see the SWB Quattro and that Stratos - I do love a good rally car!

Some lovely motors, the little star for me was the 47 year old Honda 800cc coupe!

Anyway; yes a rooky mistake parking under a tree overnight, covered the car in mahoosiive birdcrap... The CCTV camera was fixed upon the car though!

Nice pic of a maser plastic engine bay!

LOL - I put the bonnet up because my daughter was in the car playing on her iPad. She was fed up of people staring and taking photos of her!

 

[2b1ask1]

Did she actually get out of the car at all Mikey? Teenagers can be so 'awkward' at times, you have to wonder why we bother!

Wouldn't have been much use as evidence though since the clock is two months slow!!

A great day! I particular liked looking at all the different shades of metallic black on the Masers in the sunshine!

AA touting for business near us at the Wetherby services meeting point:

Queueing to get in... clutch anxiety kicking in:

A trio of different Italian arses:

Loads of fantastic cars there and took way too many photos to post, but my favourite car of the day wasn't a Maserati. It wasn't even Italian.

Ha, it was a major success I managed to drag her out of bed in time for the meeting point!

I remember her Mikey, was going to say hello to you, but I couldn't see you about.

Had quite an anxious time in the queue to get in, it took us over an hour and the Chevy didn't like the heat!

You made it though, unlike the inevitable TVR that had overheated parked on the grass verge. Sorry, I missed you... probably gawping at other peoples car

Once they realised they weren't getting any they left so I could take this terrible picture of the different noses:



Engine from my favourite car of the day.

As shown here, some people were a bit naughty leaving the event:

Yeah, mine is the black GT-S and I think the silver 4200 is wack61's. You will notice we behaved ourselves!

Ahh, Wack's changed his plate

it cost me 80 quid and that was the transfer fee so it was rude to say no

It was a good day out, only bought a few plants thankfully we did a tour of the house which was well worth it , the guides were very good

glad I went, next one Oulton at the end of the month
