Yes indeed, I had a great time although I only made the Saturday and headed off back down south when Sunday's dawn came to illuminate the tent!

Here are a few of my pictures, although I sort of forgot to take more of the cars :oops:

It was great to meet up with everyone again, and meet some new faces, and the choice of fish and chip restaurant was inspired!

I second, third and fourth what everyone is saying :) It was a good weekend indeed and very enjoyable (bar the camping due to bad joints... :( ) and I look forward to the next one! Thanks to all who made it happen, it all went really well considering the late (but good) planning. Fish and chips was spot on, as was the motor museum! I will try and get my pictures online very soon!

Hopefully see some more 300's next time!

Is this the type of merc that the badies drove in Goldfinger? I'm sure Rupert may know!

We went to Filey Sunday evening after the Museum as I'd promised Jack a trip to the seaside (He didn't make it to Whitby the day before!)
Quite a few old cars about on the roads as the sun was out all day!

I have taken the same as everyone else, way to many of things that arn't 300 shaped!

http://www.flickr.com/photos/c_cardwell ... 426033928/ for the rest of mine

There were Volvos
Image
Image
And wagons
Image
And A4's
Image
A competition
Image
Train rides
Image
Buffoons
Image
Blowtorch Masters
Image
Wise discussions
Image
And generic confusion
Image
As well as a car museum that had more generic awesome stuff than you could imagine, all in one unsorted heap!
