Some brilliant photos there!!
 A very, very enjoyable weekend! Thanks Neil and Mike for arranging the great weather and all the other fun stuff too  And of course thanks to David too (that pearl coloured D2 really is a beauty when the sunlight hits it) and to everyone else who helped to organise the weekend.  Back to work for me unfortunately now, so I'll post some photos and videos when I have time to go through them. The cheapo Chinese GoPro clone worked better than I expected (this was the first time I had used it). The video quality is superb but I think maybe the mic needs some sort of windsheild ... Similar to most dashcams, the camera saves the recordings as a series of short clips, so I'll string all of these together when I have more time, but here's a couple of the clips for now: I think this is probably one of the better clips, showing a few of the cars as I overtook (from about 1 minute in): https://www.dropbox.com/s/75lq0ieu61...00017.MOV?dl=1 A nice V8 roar on this one, after about 2 mins in (before the wind noise drowns it out) as I stomped on the loud-pedal to catch back up with David: https://www.dropbox.com/s/tmx53k4sj9...10014.MOV?dl=1 Our temporary parking spot (were we waiting for someone?): https://www.dropbox.com/s/ppmy1771ff...20021.MOV?dl=1 EDIT by IT : Mirrored also to the forum site for speed and longevity, hope you don't mind Mark? http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/bigdata/2...t/01100017.mov http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/bigdata/2...t/01010014.mov http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/bigdata/2...t/01220021.mov

I took a few as everyone departed on Sunday Morning.
The last one shows the rather empty and forlorn hotel car park after the last (IT) of the intrepid explorers went oof to Pendine. The only vehicles there then were Richards special A8 cleaning van and our little old lady.

I don't think the wind noise is as bad as I expected, but it was nice when you slowed down....  Might have been interesting to have one of these on Neils roof facing backwards to capture the snake of 8's behind him.... Next time maybe..

... and something for the camera mic too. Quote:
Perhaps on some sort of tripod to get it a little higher, Google-car style. Unless we can nominate a taller, non-8 vehicle, to take the lead, like Sarg's Beamer. At least that way Neil's 8 would be in the video too (unless we can find a huge selfie-stick for him?), and it means we will have found a good use for a BMW (only joking Sarg - PS I still owe you a pint )

I managed a few photos during the weekend. The quality isn't the best as just using my phone camera.

I think they're great Pete, especially the panoramic ones!
I don't know why but it never occurred to me to take any panoramic shots.

Just to add my thanks to everyone for a great weekend, arrived home this afternoon after stopping over at Stephen's last night. Final mileage (including a trip to Tenby yesterday and a small diversion to pick up a part for my son's car today) was 950 miles for me.
Great pictures so far, I did take a few but will not be up to Connor's standard, however if they are reasonable will get them up as soon as I can. Was great seeing everyone
