What an excellent weekend - thanks to Neil and Mike for all the work that went into making this such good fun, and to Connor as well for quietly taking hundreds of excellent photos. I had a great time with a lovely bunch of people, reinforcing my view that this is the best and friendliest forum in the UK.

I could post even more photos to add to all of the excellent ones already added, but instead, I've just added two: one stitched panorama from the field, and one of Connor - as unofficial photographer, he seems to be strangely missing from the collection, so this will hopefully rectify that

Roll on next year - can't wait....

I thoroughly enjoyed the weekend too, thanks to everyone and it was nice to put faces to the cars on here. Great organisation and all of the cars were brilliant and perfect weather for it

I would suggest this evidence of someone emptying her handbag on the bonnet is surely enough for her other half to justify at least a couple of nights out with the boys

Like Dezzy, sorry not to be there. Will definitely be at the meet next year as Neil and Mike have asked BrianG, The Laird and myself to organise a Scottish flavoured Annual meet - a sort of Eightsome Reel.

Great photos Connor, still havent worked my way through them all!

Good job it was our bonnet or it would have been a lifetime ban!

Cleaned it yesterday and there's no damage, as todays drizzle shows.
