Hi all,

Anyone reading this that I have not message separately and have a Display Ticket for Sunday 28th Please aim to arrive between 07:30 and 9am but my advice would be to arrive as early as you can.
Last 2 events have been really busy with over 1100 cars arriving in a short window. So traffic will build up avoid the queue's and get parked up early. Also gives us a chance to see what cars we have and where to park everyone. Parking cars to make a display is difficult as we never know who is arriving when but lets see what we can do.

Look forward to see all the cars, and the drivers too.

Mark.

Morning all,

Thanks to all that braved the rain on the morning and made it to Ultimate BMW. We had 19 cars on our display and John popped in to say hi in the B3 GT3. Great to see you all and hope you all had a good day.
I think overall the even was better managed this year with minimal revving and when it did happen once or twice Parmi and his team were straight on it telling them to stop.
Even though the drive up was very wet and my boots didn't dry fully until I was in the car on the way home I had a good day.

Any Feedback anyone wants to share do let me know, Parmi and Sukh do normally ask for feedback to help them for future events.

Great to hear and lots of positive feedback echo'd on the FB Page for the show. So the guys did a good job. I've asked Parmi if I can start thinking a little earlier about the display area for Alpina and do more of a display rather than just a line up of cars. I'm going to look at some options.
