Spotted a nice, shiny orange GT3 at Clandon Park today.
We were there in our Fiat Punto Multijet Turbo Diesel as I've been doing a bit of work on my Esprit.
I only had my pocket Nikon with me so the GT£ is more Norfolk mustard than Chrome Orange in the attached pic.
The room stewards in the big house were slowly melting in the heat.

Hi Alan

If only I had known it was so close to the Newlands Corner meet when my wife requested this trip !

Never mind, I did learn that you NEVER park a car with an aluminium gear knob in the sun.
Lucky my wife is a nurse !

I have CDO, it's like OCD but all the letters are in alphabetical order, AS THEY SHOULD BE !

Hope you got your wife to apply some ice. :-)

I've gone back to a leather gearknob on mine for that very reason, although the alloy one did look good.

All the same, you had the best looking car in the car park.

Get a knob cosy Erik, good for summer or winter when your hand can stick to it because its sooooo cold
