Unlikely the organisers would notice which stand you park at once you have entered the gate. 😉

There's a big red lettering on my ticket to say "park in late parking only" :( if anyone can't use there slot and space, let me know as I could ask - I'm signed up to the gr-zoo group when I registered.

Print in black & white and as you won't be far from the GR Zoo stand and assumming we have space I'd join your comrades when you get the opportunity and leave your parking pass in the boot.

18 spaces on the stand. Think you should slip on in mate, what’s the worse they can do? 😉

Thanks for this, so only 15 cars confirmed but we have 18 spaces, I'm in section B4 too but in late booking so will probably drive past you all anyway so will see if I can try to join. I'll keep an eye out for the GR bunch - I'll be in a white GR86 with the GRzoo sticker in my rear screen. Will be arriving mid morning(y)
 
Great to meet everyone today! Thanks Admin very much for the goodie bag! Look forward to the next one. Cheers Tony

Great to meet the admin guys . Sorry didnt get chance to meet more . My boy was so keen to look round .

Look forward to next year . But feedback to organisers . I was on your stand but traffic control forced me to public parking and then had to go to stand even tho I showed him stand pass . He said to improve flow using the 2 entrances . Then had to go down a dusty dirt track . Car covered ! Also we had to wait 2 hours in the queue to get in .

I did hang around to catch you mate (and hear that exhaust of yours) but I’m glad your young aspiring petrolhead was eager to look around. Mine was the red one wearing the TC-105X’ s on the end/roadside. Next time @webbie45 👍🏻
 
Great day , Gazpo stand had some very nice cars on display , I’m afraid I didn’t get to meet everyone because we walked around looking at some amazing cars . Forgot to pack the chairs 🥴, first show I’ve done and I’m looking forward to the next one already , cheers to our admin for the goodies. Hope everyone got home safely
 
Great day out, fantastic weather and good to meet some forum members. Thanks again admin for setting up the stand,the gifts (y):cool: and allowing me to park with the main group;)Cheers.
 
Best meet so far for me. I really enjoyed looking at the older cars. That Lotus Talbot at the bottom of the field was worth seeing as one had been on Bangers & Cash not long ago. The fully stripped and rebuilt MG in Jaguar silver for sale was lovely. I estimated it at £30k to £40k. I asked the chap selling it how much he was wanting and he said it started with a 3. I offered him £3,995 and he just laughed.
I realised that I admire the older cars that have been looked after more than the new, flashy and very expensive super cars. It made me think that in say 10 - 15 years would I wish I had kept my MK1 and kept it mint rather than just trading it in for the new kid on the block. 1st world problem but something to think about because when it's gone, it's gone.
Good day out. Shame about the long line of standing traffic getting in. I got to the left hand turn on the straight into the show at 9 am and switched the car off at our stand at 10:50 covered in dust as I came along the other road they opened. Even had time to get out 3 times to walk the dog. I had looked at a lot of the cars before I even got there.
Looking forward to September.

I’m in agreement with you on the Sunbeam Lotus; one could say it started the hot-hatch theme. Same chassis as a Hillman Avenger Tiger? I knew a guy who bought one as his first car whist he was an apprentice. Needless to say it didn’t end well for the car or his wallet.
You’ve got a great car mate & there is an abundance or options out there for upgrading & truly making it our own. Some of us form an affinity with our cars rather than swapping into the next best thing & the GRY is absolutely one worth doing so.

You’ll have to get out in it more & keep those clutch pressing muscles tip top!
 
Great attendance on Sunday and with a great bunch of people - thanks to everyone who made the effort and persevered with the traffic. 🙏
