This annual event depends entirely on the organisation of Richard East , and his detailed knowledge of the backwaters . It is held on a weekday when the weekend tourists are not clogging the roads . If you have a 356 and the time available and you can get yourself to where the M25 meets the M26 then it is a must -do ! It helps to bring a navigator to decode the route instructions [
]
I got back into 356s about 4 years ago as nothing else can give you so much pleasure at road legal speeds on twisty roads , even better being in a continuous train of cars with other 356 owners and being granted right of way by more modern vehicles !
Lets start with a couple of shots of the owners , and their co-pilots/navigators at the 7 Diner , apologies to the latecomers who arrived after the shots . There were some drivers younger than the cars but only a minority . The keen eyed will spot the Register Secretary .
Now some random and incomplete shots of the cars , starting with Speedsters , first up is a hotrod , driver is quick too.
Second Speedster is in good company , Mark's Togo 356SC and my Bali 356C
...not forgetting Richard's Slate Grey SC
A couple of white B S90 , Fred's coupe and Mike's cabrio
and Hugo's A
and most of the cars lined up before departure to Paragon Porsche , you might just spot David's Aetna Blue Roadster
Finally , parked outside Paragon's remodelled showroom where we enjoyed good hospitality from Mark Sumpter , Jeff's A next to Andy's Carrera 2 . One more car joined us there to make a full team of 11 cars , did not get a shot of it however [].
