If I may present a few not-terribly-good photos from today's event at the Dorman's Club, Middlesbrough, in aid of the local Air Ambulance... Weather was changeable, usually erring on the side of "a bit pants", but still a cracking day. I've photo'd a lot, and undoubtedly missed a lot more, and if you were there and I didn't get your car, I apologise. Now indulge in the veritable smorgasbord of retro (and a couple of moderns I've sneaked in...).
Important bits first - hog roast.
