It certainly was. Although I have to mention I couldn't see any Alpines anywhere when we were there, which was Saturday afternoon. I guess you're from 'the other club', so where were you situated, and what did you have on display? Half the trouble is it's getting too big to wander around all of it in single day.

I must stop going to auctions with my son, I bought the bloody Noble they had there!

My other highlight was meeting a bunch of Germans who had just bought the BTCC Lagune from Renault Paris. They have chassis number 99/02, which is the sister car the the one that was on display at Prescott on May. I really thought it was the same car. It's apparently destined for hill climbing over there until they have built up a big enough spares package to risk campaigning it in door to door stuff.

All in all, a fantastic weekend show, with Goodwood Revival standard track racing. Obviously my highlight was the Supertouring cars - and the auction.... :wink:

I wholeheartedly agree, this club should have a presence there, and I for one would be happy to help organise this. If only my membership could get rubber stamped before my cheque expires. In the meantime, I'm off to see if the Noble boys are a little more inclusive. :wink:

Ah, you have me there! There were many Venturis at Prescott under the ROAC banner. Didn't see you all the same. Where had Silverstone put you?

The display from the OTHER club on saturday was poor, only 5 cars, A610, 2 x GTA, V6 Clio and A110. Glad I went with the Corvette club..It must have been the lowest club turnout at Silverstone but other than that the event and racing was top notch

the spider sold for £20496 don't know if that's including fees if so it was cheap, if not wirh fees it was dead on the money.

The published prices include all fees and vat. The spider was very tidy, but then I haven't seen a tatty one yet!
