I left around 7:30 as there wasn’t much variety of cars to look at (unless you like Porsches). Got a ticket for next week now. Maybe tempting fate but hopefully should be able to make it.
Hope you can, would like to see your car in person.

I've got my ticket booked too. Bring on another warm sunny evening - the weather for the last two has been amazing.

Sounds like another good Alpina gathering ! Looking forward to it. #10 unfortunate has a new battle scar from a rather incompetent Belgian truck driver who decided to reverse into me 😢😢. So dont shoot me down on the booty ! Is it time to stop using everyday as the company loadlugger and find a new daily ?? See you Wednesday 👍

Good stuff Paul, and Cook that's awful - I certainly won't mention it, just glad you're still coming along.

Is everyone heading to the back line of the grassed area of the car park?

We could do but, with 10-12 cars, unless we all get there at the same time then it's unlikely that we will park together.

I'm aiming for about 5pm

Maybe park in that line and spread out with wide spacing to deter others until the rest turn up. I know it can get busy but that top line of grass is not exactly prime spot territory so hopefully easy to deter others. Maybe just ask politely other drivers to find a different parking spot also if they try to squeeze in.

I think a lot of other people tried to park there last month as it was one of the few places to park in the shade. Might not be so much of an issue if it's a cooler night. We'll just have to get Charles a big stick to chase everyone off with!

If we can't all get together initially (unlikely as staggered arrivals) we likely will be able to later on as the car park thins out which is what we did last time with Charles initially getting a prime display spot and then moving to the top of the field with the rest of us later.

I'm not going to be able to make this now. Our family have tested positive for Covid and now have to self isolate..... :?

Hope you all have a good night - don't forget to take a load of photos....

P.S. If anyone wants a ticket.....
