Mr Dube with D3 BT
Jason Lewis with Green new B3 (2021) touring and has ordered new B8 in blue ( 143K he said).
Person unknown in B3 touring
Asad B5 salon parked in another group
D3 BT owners no aware of any ALPINA group
finally guy with Lilac E39 which was 540i made to look like ALPINA B10 V8s - not with our group

worse news chap with "replica" E31 B12 was reversed into in error by another E31 at Rownhams services. Neither made it to the show.

Some stunning cars there including the Alpina's

I was surprised not to see a single Roadster S there though out of 3-400 cars. I brought my Z4 Coupe, but perhaps I should have brought the Roadster instead.

I am lead to believe there were in excess of 700 vehicles, however some were still arriving when others were leaving. Its a strange set up no entry until 0930 but entry until 2 pm. It is alleged some people misread this and thought it ended at 2pm and in fact it was 5 pm.

I guess it was mostly modern BMW, we did have one E12 ALPINA B7 owned by Andy Chapman which i omitted. But now its mentioned very few Z BMW and not one 2002 and was it one E9.

We all had a great time and for those who could not make it or its too far it may be wort considering. It clashed with Goodwood revival which may appeal to a different audience.
