Write Up Corton Classic and Sports Car Rally

[smiffy]

firstly, I'll tag @Shelly in on this as i'd mentioned this to her in another thread. Did you go?

secondly, I should apologise to the EAC as with the benefit of hindsight, I should have suggested this event as a possible meet. To be honest, it wasn't well advertised locally and I half expected half a dozen minis and a couple of Lotuses (Loti?). And to be fair, Corton is only close for Shelly and me, so I'd have looked a right chump if people had driven miles to be at an empty village playing field!

Loads of decent cars, minis to American muscle, but not many BMWs though although BMWCC were there. But there was an absolutly gorgeous 2002, sat all alone and no owner in sight. Another for the fantasy garage.

I'll contact the organisers and get on their mailing list for 2017

Morning @smiffy
Yes we did pop along
Thank you for letting us no
We went about 11.30 , the traffic was really bad , we parked in The Corton Hut pub as we couldn't find anywhere else to park
Did you go down Corton long lane a Z3 was parked up in a plum colour
We see a couple of Zs in the display
More cars than I expected their
Even scooters and motor bikes
The sun was even out so than was good too

Morning @Shelly sorry I didn't answer the other thread, I'd already gone out. We could have met! You could have brought cake!

I didn't go there until about 1:00 though. Didn't spot the Plum z3 so maybe he'd gone.

Black Z4 with the BMWCC and the silver Z3 that was for sale? They were the only 2 in the show that I spotted.

When I got there I just drove straight in and slotted into a spot just inside the gate!

What do you think, worth putting on the list as a 2017 event?

 

[Shelly]

Yes ........
We could all go and make a day of it and have a cruise along Great Yarmouth sea front and then go for a meal

Don't know if the Z was for sale or not as when we see it , it was on a machine having a test done and lots of people were gathered round

Was a good show , can't believe how many people their were about

 

[smiffy]

sounds like a plan, shame its 12 months away!

The machine was "Carbon Cleaning", looked a bit like a gimmick to me but I'll start a thread and see what the clever ones think.
