Please come along everybody.

Guaranteed no Meghan and Harry

No Boris

Guaranteed tropical heatwave

Real castle to explore

Toilets only 200m away, or feels like 800 if you are desperate

Lots of interesting Italian rarities

Rosso, Alan and I

What more could you ask for

Paul

See you there Paul and Alan once I've been for my eye test at Barnard Castle.

Your eyesight could come in handy if I drop my keys again ..

I'll Get you something for that Alan

Should the 3 coupe meet up before we go in the grounds?

Meeting up would be great. I'm not travelling too far, so would be happy going a bit further to make it easier for you two.

Outside The Wheatsheaf Inn at Staindrop?

Weather looks a bit shaky but could all change in a few day's time

That's ok with me

What time.

Heatwave expected

How about 0900hrs? I think it opens to the public 1000hrs.

That suits me.

Don't forget suncream

I'll be there but in my Lancia again - really must get my Coupe sorted!!

Look forwards to seeing you

Paul

Weren't you there last year with your coupe Andy? And in fact you found my keys so if you don't mind I'll give them to you for safekeeping

Parasols tomorrow chaps. Robust ones

Possible monsoon instead of tropical heatwave

We could be lucky and miss the worse of them but have my waterproof just to be on the safe side At least it will be bone dry getting on site.

Sorry Paul and Alan but I can't make it down today... Very disappointed. Hope you both have a great day.

That's a shame Brian

I reckon it's going to be a quiet event tbh. Been parked up at Staindrop for 15 mins and haven't seen any exotica go past..

Good Raby Castle weather news.

Wooly hats, mitts and skis were not required.

Otherwise, everything, sun tan lotion and raincoats !

Very quiet initially, but numbers picked up.

Three coupes, Alan, Phil and me with two grandsons.

Lots of interest from the other Italian car owners and general public.

My favourite car was a 1963 Fiat 500 in red. Not concourse but really lovely condition.

The Castle itself is very interesting. The boys enjoyed it so much that we went around twice.

Look forward to seeing you somewhere else Brian.

Hope you got to the party on time Paul?

Phil had another 16v so 10% of all 16v's in the UK were at the event. Good that Paul Ward complimented the 16v's - totally ignored the 20v

Journey back up the A1 was a breeze compared to yesterday's nightmare

Will be interesting so see if Raby is run next year though...

Great to meet Paul and Alan in their Coupes with the great backdrop of Raby castle.

Hello Alan

At the prize giving, Auto Italia praised Raby greatly.

Later, I popped by their stand to thank them all. They again said nothing but praise Raby,cso who knows.

Two kids doing their best to damage car interior and exterior, by just being normal.
