Likewise! What a beautiful day it was - probably a bit too hot to be walking up the hill. Your D3 was looking superb.

Hi ScooBeeFive, you spotted us. It was myself in the black roadster and my stepson in the blue one. Had a great day out on a perfect summer’s day. Nice pics.

Fantastic! They looked great parked together. My pal said he’d seen them so I had to go and investigate. I love that you and your step son both have one.

It was a great day wasn’t it - weather was amazing. As I said above, verging on too hot but was cooler up in the trees. It’s just a great venue too.

Do you ever go to the breakfast clubs there?

Hi, yes occasionally go to the breakfast club time allowing.Really ought to try and go more often, always enjoy it and it’s a great place.
Did the guy in the Mazda get his car out of the farmers field? Saw it was still locked in when we left at 4.00pm.

I go quite often too. I was lucky enough to be picked to have the best modern classic last year by the marshalls and got a nice goodie bag.
High praise indeed considering the metal that turns up at this place! These guys appreciate cars in all their shapes and sizes.

I used to go fairly regular, but they had issues with a few idiots and started charging - I've not been since. I should make the effort again too.

Not sure on the Mazda - I wonder if it was even someone attending Shelsley Walsh? Could have been just someone heading out for a walk on a sunny day. Why would you not just park in the carpark? Did seem a bit weird - they clearly weren't happy about it.

That's very cool Phil! We'll have to try and sort something out for the next one.....

Assess a week out depending on the forecast, Arrive about 8:15 for a decent place. We can arrange to meet up with any any other Alpinas too somewhere before to go in convoy.

That sounds like a good plan Phil.
