On the Thursday - a queue before Rally Control - everyone wants to come to the party!
(work in progress. These are Imps that I took pictures of. Likely I missed some. Do let me know if you can add anything !
The descriptions are there, so I have a chance at recognising a car from the side, without the registration number.

 2012, Aug. 3 (Friday) - leaving Castleton |
Winnats pass - vertical land. I had to keep it in 1st gear after we stopped to take this photo | |
 2012, Aug. 2 (Thursday); late afternoon - most of the traders had set up shop |
||
 |
||
 Friday evening, August 3 |
Rosemary Smith and Bill McGovern before Bill got interviewed. Pieter had problems taking a photo of the two of them, as there was always a gentleman in front of him (in this photo as a white shoulder). Rosemary noticed and helped Pieter out by sidestepping. Both Rosemary and Bill are very aware of their surroundings and kind. |
|
 |
||
 |
Squinting into history Due to elec-trick-ity (twice !), the interview lasted until longer than expected. But while lights and sound were up, Bill had no problem keeping us entertained. He could tell his stories like they happened yesterday, in stead of 30-40 years ago. He seemed to be easily able to relive his many anecdotes and tell it like it was. | |
 |
Mine was on the display field of the Sunday. Amongst its brethern, mine is the one that makes me smile. | |
 |
Holes in the Sunday display after one o'clock. Some left to do some more site-seeing, others have gone home. | |
 |
There was a Belgian trader, new to me, who races or used to race Imps. | |
 |
Monday morning. Can't tow a Clan with an A-frame or can you? |
