Big thanks to Cheng and Pete and all at Thunder Road for opening their doors to the great unwashed again this year! Plenty of Mopars in attendance too, out on the street and in the workshop...

Thank you for posting, great pictures as ever.

Another very busy day!!

Yes, we get a really eclectic mix of vehicles there, and once again the weather was quite kind to us.

Thanks to Roy (Slowhand) for helping us out too!!

Star of the show was obviously the grand old Chap who brought the DB4 - he has driven that all over Europe in true "GT" style..

I'm sure I used to talk to that guy in the '80s, he used to keep that Aston in a lock up a few garages down from me in Waltham Cross, he was always off touring with it.

Yes it's probably the same chap (can't be too many DB4 Vantage Volante's around), he said he used to take his car to David's garage in Hertford.
Bought it in 1980 for £8k and done 90k miles since, used regularly until 2000 ish.
He commented that most of the car owners there were old blokes. Cheeky sod!
