I saw quite a few TT's there today ! The weather stayed dry throughout the day, but the overnight rain cause some nice demonstration's and a bit of fun. Nice selection of engines from the rally scene. The President looked fabulous, it was the first time i saw it and my god what a good job they did on it. It was nice to see the comparison between The Great North and The President when they were parked side by side. All on all i wonderful show, which was packed with lots of people and some reasonable weather for once. The Ex Lillywhite collection was there, first time with them all together, Pictures to follow

A few, probably to many I took at end of Sunday when I arrived, as usual late.
Quality not that good, new camera, cheep and it shows! Quite a few of the Lilly White collection showing the ravages of sea air,
Cheers Rog

I popped in on Saturday, nice little do and good to see folk after quite a while.

The President sure is a nice bit of kit, and that Q class Marshall is a VERY nice machine, I am more than slightly envious!
