Sounds very nice Nicholas . I realised the same during my ownership of #670 when being driven by somebody else .

Sorry for not saying hello on the day, I wasn't sure if you had recognised me.

I have to agree with you Colin regarding the amount of cars attending, I'd say it was about half the size of the 2017 event.

I'd suggest there are many reasons for the reduction in attendance: the event being postponed several times, the change of venue from Sywell to a farm field, the fact that Sywell were advising the event had been cancelled, many owners are of advancing years especially after a period of five years, the list goes on.

Overall I'd say it was a good turn-out though, except for the P4 fraternity, there were rather fewer pre 80's cars than in 2017.
