Beautiful warm day at Ventnor. The Esplanade is lovely.

Might even stand a chance of getting a table at the Spyglass!

When I eventually get over to see the parents for a few weeks I'll keep an eye out for the distinctive E350 (It's looking good btw!).

If you see a nutter flashing and waving at you from a tenorite grey E350 w212, you'll know to look the other way!

Great looking car.

No: “Crab Shack” sandwiches and “Crave” ice creams consumed in the car, we trust ?

Mark Steele does a great 30 minute session on Ventnor. “We have Microclimate, you know. Its like a tropical rainforest.”

Won’t be long now.
One of the best places to sit outside for fab food on the Island as you know.
Have you booked, it’ll be busy.

It’ll be a while before we’re next down, but I’m very much looking forward to it.

Sounds good, I’ll be looking out for you. Looking like being a very busy place to be this year, everywhere is booked solid.

Definitely consumed outside the car
Microclimate it is ... ‘The land of the long white cloud’ when you look across at the mainland. Cloud over there but not here.
Car was showing 21deg, positively the Tropics.

Great idea. Plan it for this weekend ..

Classic Car Extravaganza Isle of Wight - Classic Car Shows UK

classic car show events by type of motor car.

I’m stunned every year at the sheer quantity, diversity and quality of the vehicles on show. I’m a car show veteran, and it really does take some beating.

Thankfully we can stay at my parents, restrictions permitting. We'll all be 2nd jabbed by then (us and parents) and if it's good weather, bbq central in their garden is enough of a break for us. A pint in the Spyglass terrace would go down a treat, although I'm also a fan of the Buddle

Lucky to have parents here, that’s for sure.
Buddle Inn is a great pub, in fact there are SO many excellent places these days, it’s hard to pick. I’ll shut up now, I’m starting to sound like an advert

I used one for the first time last year on my silver S204. Really easy to use and great results, but like all claying, keep it well lubed and use a light touch.

 

[MrGreedy]

Also, make sure that afyer a good initial wash, you use iron/fallout remover, then glue/tar remover, and a proper clean again before starting the clay process, otherwise all the iron particles embedded on the paint will stick to that clay mitt and be dragged over the surface.

I couldn’t even see the view with that beautifully clean car , good job buddy
