Yep, great Gold Cup weekend as always - my favourite Oulton event every year! Being in Assembly means we get to see the cars (ok, not at racing speed), meet the teams and drivers - amazing how many of them remember me year after year... "You still here?" / "Have you been home since last year?" / " I remember you in Assembly at Brands" (that was early '90's) / and the E-type crews from Cumbria who will never let me forget the rainy Saturday night I was first invited into their motorhome for a drink (ok, several) - "Eeyoop, it's Mister Assembly - come aboard, lad". and came a cropper slipping off the wet tail-lift.
Done 20 BGP's now, and still enjoy it, but if I had to choose... ok, it shows my age, but the Gold Cup wins - brilliant event, great cars, friendly teams and drivers, happy atmosphere - and yes, I did get to see some of the racing!
Look forward to next year...
