Just watched Harry Metcalfe’s review of the Evora 410GT Sport and am now very excited about blagging a run up Shelsey Walsh on Saturday with my brother in his GTE.

Don’t think the QP GTS would catch it up the hill, but then again his family of four might arrive a little more squished than mine.58411

If you're willing to take some snaps of my Exige, I'd be delighted;)

I'll get some shots for you, also if you want to get some shots of you going up the hill from inside the car I have a fisheye setup I can use from the passenger seat if you are happy for me to sit in.

I’m still going. Hopefully should be ok! Weathers supposed to clear up later today and be ok tomorrow so fingers crossed. Got the car ready and clean yesterday.
Here’s the Malvern Hills(About 10 miles from Shelsley) currently...

I'm also still going.

Just need the weather to clear up enough that I can wash the dusty cat pawprints off my car! Cart barn where the car is parked has a concrete floor and the cats have decided the carbon bonnet on the Stradale is much warmer to sit on than the concrete floor :( Will have to get a cover organised at some point.

Oh dear! Hopefully it’s not too covered in prints!
Weathers clearing up a bit here now and the ground is drying. However forecast says thunderstorm at 3, but then nothing after that and forecast is now saying dry all day tomorrow, so with a bit of luck the roads and the narrow lanes down to Shelsley will be dry by the morning. Will probably head to Shelsley from the Great Witley side(A443) rather than the A44 side as there is less narrow lanes to negotiate down. Coming from the A44 side through Martley there is a pretty steep windy hill that is very narrow, and if there is heavy traffic I think the clutch will thank me!

That would be awesome. As long as I can do that within the rules (which I expect I can), then that would be great.
Do you have a helmet? Arms and legs need to be covered. My passenger is willing to lend you his helmet, unless you prefer to borrow one from Shelsley, which is easy.
I'm in garage 33, will be there early, just come over :)

Also, if anyone is sticking around locally afterwards, the Shelsley Walsh breakfast club is on the day following this event. There's usually a good mix of cars there and a cafe to get some breakfast.

What time is the breakfast club?

Was a great day, and there was some really nice motors there. Saw all the above Mas’s and had a good nose round! @Lavazza i’m guessing it was you who got interviewed on the tannoy?

Yes, it was. I was sitting in the car waiting to get back to my garage following a hill run (with one of our fellow SportsMaserati guys).
I was just approached for a chat. Hopefully came across ok. I'm not the sort to go looking for attention!

Thanks to Tim (tan55555) for the photography and good company on the hill run.

Ah I see. Came across fine, I wouldn’t worry about that! I did wonder if it was you as I remembered your post showing your lotus, and when you mentioned a certain Maserati forum I thought it must be!

Here is the link to the Flickr album for photos from the Supercar Fest. Think I got most of the Maseratis in the car display and the lovely Exige S of @Lavazza

Got a photo of yours at the breakfast club! Saw you leave, sounded fantastic.

I did come over to the field on Saturday to look for you guys, but nobody around. Lovely looking cars though.
