I can't say the same, unfortunately.

On the way home, I started feeling drowsy on the A42. I believe I have carbon-monoxide entering the passenger compartment.

I had to stop in a layby on the A42 just north of Ashby. Thanks to AutoAid for getting me home.

Sorry me and my wife couldn't make in our two 75s.
I tested positive for covid on wednesday, on Friday I was feeling rather rough to say the least, Friday afternoon we got a phonecall from our conveyancer saying we should get the keys to our first home on Friday the 29thSaturday wife and 5 year old daughter test positive too. Between us all being positive, feeling blurgh and suddenly last minute packing etc
We're all a bit miffed we couldn't make it as our plans were to attend Pol, stay overnight at Drayton manor for the little one with Sunday spent at Thomas land but.. it wasn't to be sadly.

We're hoping to make it to the next Pol for sure!

Hope all is well for those unable to make it.

We made the journey from West Yorkshire problem free and at a healthy 33.7mpg (thirsty old girl ), nice to meet a good few fellow 75/MGR enthusiasts, and altogether a great day out.

Chose to take the 75 this year as it's all motorway, but I might take the TF next year so they've both been 'home.'

Yes thanks Colin the air freshener smells great 👍

Back home now, what a great day it was. Brilliant as always to meet old and new friends alike.

Didn't take a massive amounts of pictures this time but I did manage a few shots this morning along with Aldo's magnificent Caledonian ZT V8, followed by a spirited drive back to Scotland

I'm glad mate. I was dishing out all 16 scents randomly so I have no idea who got who, but I did try and put Cinnamon Head Gasket Failure scent on the 1.8s!

I will have a look, thanks.

Good to meet you Simon, thanks for the plaque. Didn't make it to the correct zone, but ended up tagged on to the 260's line (good company I suppose). As a first time visit it seemed a good turnout, though the fair weather must have helped. Might make the trip again next year.

Same here. Made it to London okay after the show, but heading home from there yesterday the car died on the M5. I would like to say how efficient and helpful the AA were in recovering us the 50 miles home. I would like to say that...
