43 cars...?
I think it was 33 B7's in the end Glenn (can anyone else confirm this?)...plus a couple of B5's and TT's.

Am guessing the furthest travellers came down from northern Scotland. I came up from Newbury - 519 mile round trip...not sure if the guys from Kent travelled further than that, or if anyone else came up from further South...?

Cheers,

Myself and PaulRS4 travelled from Bromley in Kent, 10 miles south of Blackwell tunnel, had to leave at 0730. I dont recall anyone else south of us coming. So Kent to Aberdeen is impressive. What about the west country, is Newbury (M4) the furthest south west somebody had came?

p.s Let it go Tim...lol

Looks like they're both on the photo to me (on the RHS near my Avus Avant).

Think you're right Steve - I'm fairly sure the 33 cars included Danny & Kay, and was the final number....

I'll post up the link to the Flickr album once they've all been uploaded.

Started the upload and left it running when I went home for lunch but I've a feeling the connections been lost as there doesn't seem to be anymore appearing.
