Short notice, I know, but I'll be at the Classic Days in Schloss Dyck near Grevenbroich tomorrow. If anyone else is going, maybe it'll be possible to arrange a meeting? I'll be wearing my TNF badge #111 in any case (that is, if it's where it is supposed to be tomorrow morning - I don't have that many opportunities to wear it...). Highlight of the event will probably the S76, but who knows - hope the weather will not be a spoiler!!!

Aren't badges wonderful? We can get them while in the prime of life, and as we slip into middle age... they still fit!

 

But maybe you don't have that problem.

I know what you mean! :\

Will be there tomorrow (Saturday) and Sunday.

I am mostly on the Maserati section near the paddock.

Look for a blue Merak SS...

I was there on Saturday too - this year was the first time in four that the weather has been terrible (at least all morning).

 

As usual a wonderful show and due to the weather not too crowded this time.

 

Saw the blue Merak but didn't read this until today...

Hi JoBo. Noticed an acute lack of Masers while strolling around the paddock, until we stumbled over a "nest" while on our way out - but no blue Merak!? Anyway, at that very moment we heard the Fiat fire up again in the distance, and since we missed it first time round by seconds, we hurried over to the new paddock only to find out it didn't run after all! Got a good look at it both times, but would have loved to see it run (you could hear it everywhere, probably all the way to Venlo!).

This was my second visit after 2014, a lovely event (though not enough racing content for my liking). Weather was sheet this year, but that's life!

I was there (In the "nest"... ). Saturday with the blue Merak and Sunday with a grey A6G Allemano.

Still waiting for your detailed and illustrated report, Michael.....

[Michael Ferner]

Halfway through the event, I noticed I hadn't taken any pictures so far. It didn't feel right to leave out the early impressions, so I decided to make it a mental-only experience...

Ah, Frank Biela it was! I only saw the AU driver with the cap in place, and was somewhat irritated because I read that it was supposed to be driven by Stuck junior, but it didn't look like him. Couldn't hear the "tannoy" at the time, so I was left clueless.

Very nice photographs! I'm not sure about the sign in the middle pic, probably an in-joke - that's definitely Germany, not Washington/DC!!
