BNMAC at the Gathering

We'll call it "The Bowler Wildhat".

As you can see the stand is filling up already! 4 cars on here now and more coming.

Look at it!
Great show, just a shame that after we asked bstardchild to move his Carlton, georgeb came in and parked the RR right at the spot we had reserved for our emperor...

Thanks for the picture of my BMW. Sorry I didn't get chance to say hi to anyone

I had the Carlton “valet” parked in the morning by dan as trying to find tge stand was eating into time need for Hill Climb participants “meet and greet”

Of course this meant I had to find it a lunchtime and get it back to the paddock ready for the oportunity of a cheeky run up the hill (or three)

Not knowing where it was parked in a show field full of cars was fun

So all in all 2 objectives for the weekend met - first time since Gaydon in 2008 (RRG08) that a car I own has been on a club stand

And first time since 2015 that I’ve squeezed in a few runs up the hill

My only concern was it was on cold tyres

Good work - thanks - it was late in the day so wasn't expecting many pictures

Should silence any show pony comments

And to add to this topic...

At the end of the show, it was just georgeb and me doing the honours at the BNMAC club stand, felt right at home in that whole field with no mates





Pictures courtesy of rmad because of my phone running out of juice

The larger shape of the Range Rover behind the Toyota works really well in terms of composition

It wouldn’t have worked with the RR at the front, it would have just looked like one car parked in the field, which would have looked silly

And, this will need clarification from the Grand Emporer on high, but I didn’t think that BNMAC did silly

====THE EMPORER OF BNMAC ADDRESSES HIS MINIONS====

====PLEASE STAND AND BE SEATED====

Dear subjects,

Today, as I went about my empirical duties, I found a moment to set up a 16 car reservation for BNMAC at the RetroRides Weekender at Goodwood.

So please do let me know when you are ready to reserve your space on the show stand of this most prestigious of clubs.

We will not except riff-raff, chancers, fly-by-nights or banger racers.

Obviously that's not true at all, we'll accept just about anyone. Even people without a car.

Please contact me directly by PM to declare your expression of interest in a place on the stand, and I will happily talk you through the various purchase prices we have on offer, from the humble £10k entry level for the poor people with their ridiculous old budget cars to the £250,000.00 Sultan Supreme elevated platform package, featuring our bespoke VIP infinity pool and Vegas Lounge.

PLEASE NOTE: DIRECT PMs ONLY. FOR NEXT YEAR I'D REALLY LIKE TO KEEP THE CARS ENTERED TOP SECRET UNTIL THE DAY ARRIVES. TO ADD TO THE SUSPENSE, THE ANTICIPATION, AND THE WHAT-HAVE-YOU.

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT.

LETS CREATE AN AIR OF MYSTERY.

I'LL PROBABLY GIVE UP ON THIS IDEA AFTER A FEW WEEKS BUT FOR NOW IT'S VERY VERY IMPORTANT.
