Be warned that every year so far the catering vans run out of food in the middle of the day so unless you want to go hungry, eat first and look at stuff later. It's not like you can pop to the local Londis; Shelsley's the exact geographical centre of nowhere See new thread on food at venue on Sat night

Slight change of plans, we're at the 2nd tree on the right from the entrance, near the toilets. the other spot was already taken . Look for a mk3 golf cabrio and a rusty starlet with weird plates

Good line-up photos, taken early this morning, before I arrived and spent 5 minutes driving up and down the wrong row in an effort to avoid the entire BNMAC... We're just back home, small boy is still asleep (amazing how he nodded off over the roar of twin 48mm Webers, a stainless straight through exhaust and straight cut gears!) and wife has decided that next year we bring her bus and camp. Thanks to jamesd1972 for the ticket and johnthesparky for the pass. I'd like to say it was great to meet you two (and Tom, and luckyseven) but as it's against club rules, I won't...

Big thanks goes out from me to you lot at the campground for keeping me entertained, supplying me with means to make my coffee etc etc, good yarns about wibblepoo (oooh strong is the censor bot on this forum today) old cars and being good mates.

That was a top day out, that. It was great to have it confirmed that every member of BNMAC is as fundamentally un-mateable* as you'd expect and thus we all got along didn't get along famously. In fact, I'm so antisocial I didn't even park on the BNMAC stand in the end... partly because I clearly have less patience than neilsdavies and got bored after one circuit trying to find it and partly because I was sucked in by the awesome brown-ness of Keith's Porsche 928 on the RX-7 stand Reading that back, only some of it made sense. Excellent. Anwyway, I have RX-7 induced tinnitus but somehow I've made a 420 mile roundtrip and still got back in time for tea so I'm off to enjoy peesketti bongolaise** * yes, it is a word
** this is L7 The Youngest-speak for spag bol

** this is L7 The Youngest-speak for spag bol1) The real reason was the rx-7 stand was closer to the loo! 2) You are a mere charlatan at not parking with the bnmac! @quatermass beat you by a significant margin, and took the not speaking thing to a whole new level Thanks to everyone for blanking one another and not for good company, and hospitality Looking forward to the next one

Great day and I managed to not speak to many people... in fact the only person I spoke to was somebody impersonating johnthesparky It was a very good impersonation (he had a Fugitive, boy and an oil leak). I spoke briefly to the Jag (or is it a Daimler) owners but didn't get their names so that doesn't count and MR Bubble Top VW thing and that's OK because it's awesome... Would have been good to have met luckyseven but by the time somebody said he was hiding with a different club all the rotaries had fled. They probably have to get home before dark or they turn into normal cars. Did speak to others but as they're not BNMAC members I hope that's OK. Lessons learnt; - Next year I want to camp - I need to up my game with the MX5 so I can try the hill - I need to get fitter 2 walks up the hill to take photos was nearly the end of me.

I did spot someone wearing a Miata Mark t-shirt, but couldn't remember if I should ignore him because he was in the BNMAC or if I'd read another thread entirely where he said he'd be wearing a Miata Mark shirt and actually I shouldn't say hello because I don't know him... So Mark, very pleased to have seen you but not spoken!

It is reassuring to learn that the enshrining credo of BNMAC remains intact and only the most utilitarian of communiques were exchanged on this day.
Also... an oil leak... oh, very good. Well done. Very well done.
BNMAC exists to have oil leaks and avoid interaction at all costs.

A couple of initial images (no processing just cropped, resized); Lovely pictures. You were quite right... there was quite literally a couple of them. What were you shooting on, a box brownie? COME ON MAN, SHOW THE REST.

[ You were quite right... there was quite literally a couple of them. What were you shooting on, a box brownie? COME ON MAN, SHOW THE REST. As I'm sure luckyseven would confirm it's not just a case of dumping the camera card into RR, the images need to be sorted, quality checked (after the first cull I'm left with 101 images), processed, converted to jpg and I haven't even bothered with erudite comments ala L7...
