Stacey is this the same plot as 2018 where we were alongside the BMW GB area up against the trees?

Just to say a huge thank you to Stacey and all the folks at the stand today at The Silverstone Classic . Made to feel so welcome at my first ever meeting and heard a few great stories about their beloved Zeds. In true fashion the weather never dampened our spirits, still a great day and a chance to meet up.
A couple of piccies to let you all know what you missed out on…….

Second that, Stacy as normal very passionate about the day and getting everything organised. Pity about the weather but the run around the track very interesting indeed. I have some 4k GiPro video and once doctored will make it available to download. Mike.

Agree, very impressed with Stacey and how the day was organised, thank you. Enjoyed the parade lap, I’m looking forward to your video Mike, in the meantime here’s a couple of pics from me.

Yes Stacey has carried out a great job today, including getting the parade lap sorted.
She can take a bit of a back seat tomorrow so she have a look around at the rest of the circuit/clubs stands.

I haven't looked at my dash cam footage yet, don't suppose it will be very interesting, following that American Rat Rot pickup all the way round the lap.

I have video but may need editing as Mrs Bob made some unpublishable comments about how excited I was to be driving on the circuit

To echo the earlier comments, great job done again today Stacey - thank you. Hope you can now enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Great day at Silverstone today, thanks for organising Stacey. We didn't spend a lot of time on the stand as there is so much to see and do there but it was good to meet some old friends. We needed floats on the M40 coming home but made it OK.

Thanks Stacey for a great show. It was great to see that because of you the Zeds stood proudly alone. I personally was very disappointed with the BMW stand. Cars were all over the place.

 

[Daz W]

Great weekend, thanks for organising and the welcome Stacey. It was our first time there and you seemed disappointed with the location of the stand but it seemed fine I thought. In comparison, the BMW stand attracted little attention that I could see and was disorganised. If car stands were restaurants, theirs was McDonalds and ours was Marco Pierre White's. Oddly enough the stand attracting by far the most attention today was Delorean.

 

[Stuart Sutton]

Thanks again @BMBabe Stacey for organising a great stand as always.Glad to bring Zorgie Bear back to the club after living with us for 2 years! Due to the Lockdowns. Roll on 2022.

Some good coverage of the Parade lap.
All the best Stuart

 

[Paul Rice]

Glad no photo's were taken of me getting out of it, not my finest moment!

Many thanks to Stacey for organising our area again this year. A decent spot with plenty of footfall. Shame about the weather (Saturday was the best day) but great to catch up with the zed community after so long without car shows. Here's some of my pics - coupe biased of course

Plenty of other interest as always at the Classic

The old F1 cars sounded fabulous!

Some celebs:
Martin Brundle has still got it...

Mike Brewer's always good value, on stage for a few mins with Ant Anstead

Lots of memorabilia...

And just in case you were in any doubt...it was very wet

Yes I looked at my dash cam footage, first time I've actually done it. The quality is very good, however very boring looking at back end of a very rusty Rat Rot stepside Yank pickup with a commentary from Talksport (have to remember next time to have some ZZ Top or Chris Rea music on or turn radio off).

Thanks Stacey and Martin for organising a great weekend and for sacrificing your time to make sure everything went smoothly.

Great to meet some familiar and new people.

It was certainly a very impressive event.
