Those DDK guys do take super pics!
It DID RAIN! We arrived at 9am, having driven through torrential rain around the M25 constantly aware that soft vintage racing tyres and aquaplaning were never designed to be a combination, I was very glad not to be driving! and Indigo(11) & I didnt get out of the car at all until at least 11.30am, we were really snug & comfy in our big leather seats watching the X files movie on I phone with snacks food & crumbs everywhere in the porsche with the windows all steamed up parked right in the middle of the display Then the sun came out about lunchtime, everyone opened up their cars in an effort to dry them out ( especially the soggy speedsters ) and the show recovered and was great as usual!
AND Paul Rui's 1950 is, I think one of my favorite cars in the world, certainly the best fully restored car I have seen since? I dont really know if I have ever seen anything better? it was simply amazing.
Here are a few odd pics, favorite cars of the show (obviously aside from the 50) the tatty yellow preA ( OH YES we ALL wanted that one!) and the orange 58 Carrera below.
And surprisingly, even though general turnout was down due to the horrendous morning weather, probably less than 50%, ALL of the earliest/50's cars booked into the display turned up! :d the field that was empty was the later 911's and 912s! What a bunch of girls!
(back to my quality photography.. the classic eyes closed (oops) God please dont let him ever see that I have posted this bad shot! )
