Wet and cold all day here but these are the first pics. The S2000 will be on display tomorrow, hence the stickers!

From the pit wall..


The Lotus I drove to the event.


Spyker (will get better shots tomorrow). I don't like it though.

White Countach...check! It's in stunning nick too.
More birds...check. They're in stunning nick too.

Martin, I will be around the supercar area mostly. Wearing Honda shirt, of course.


Shame there were no big Ferraris this year. No 430, no FXX, no F1.

Up for wee while, didn't see you at the stand when I passed but it seemed busy, some nice cars, spent a bit of time at the dastek van since I know the guys (free coffee) bloomin cold and damp though. Not as good as last year I would say.

Martin, it was freezing! We even spent an hour in the S2000 reading magazines.

Anyway, here are the request shots and some more of the weekend's events.

It was nowhere near as good as last year, sadly.

The poor little thing was cold!



Okay, some serious stuff now...



My S and a really good order 328 GTS.





Lambo Gallardo next to my tiny S.





Cheggars in a 360. The man is a pratt. The car was nice though.





Stunning alloys and perfed brake discs on the front of a Gallardo.





How to change a tyre without stopping your car...





The thing what sits under the rear bonnet of a Koenigsegg and propels it to quite a fast rate of mph.






A very creditable driver in a very creditable car. 62-second laps from this first-time -at-Knockhill Gallardo owner. It was fairly wet out there!





I went out as a passenger in the Countach. We crept around, only reaching 110mph.





Spyker interior. I REALLY don't like this car. It's

Good pics Graham Looks like you had an interesting, albeit cold & damp, time. No FXX this time to drool over either.
Your friend doesn't fancy taking his Countach on a recce up to Oban the week after next does he??

Some very nice photos. Thanks for sharing

Have to agree with you about the Spyker. It's just a car that's been over designed imo. The interior is different but looks more like a pimps smoking jacket
