How many people turned up and how many Scorps were there at Weston ?

I think there were 27 cars in the end, and some 40+ people then add the public wandering about.
The gas man was busy most of the morning, but it was quieter in the afternoon.
The weather was just about right, not to hot, not to cold nor windy.

A great time had by all I think, though there were a few people wandering about looking a little worse for wear on Sunday after Saturday nights session ;)

Hi Craig, I agree it is a great picture, one that I will cherish because I am the owner of E5 MGS. The car used to have a standard plate but out of the blue a dealer wrote to me and offered E5 MGS. I searched the web and found another dealer who was cheaper and I bought it. Not very smart because I then discovered I could have bought it directly from the DVLA! The plate hapens to have my wife's initials ES and my initials, MGS.

The only low of the day was when Barry connected his OBD which although it gave top rate readings he then said he could hear the near side CAT rattling. I will shortly be looking up the replacement tips and instructions and odering parts from CAT Direct. Barry's early warning should keep everything working and avoid knock on problems.

My thanks to those who financed and organised this excellent event which our elder son ( RS 2000 owner ), my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed.

73's Malcolm

hi macolm
if you want any more pics,just message me and i have about a dozen or so of the "cuirass four" ;),i'll send them off to you if you like,and as for the number plate,i totally agree with you,my plate was offered to me by a company i showed an intrest in at £999.99,i bought the exact same number direct from DVLA and paid the princely sum of £170.00. ;D ;D
and that incuded the VAT and the £80.00 transfer fee.. }{ }{
