Well I plan to be there but on the Saturday as I have it on authority that a certain souped up Styer Puch will be going up the hill on that day. This is a very special event with hundreds of vehicles that you can get right up to in the paddock and you do not often get the chance to see so many vehicles , some over 100 years old , out on the road and in action  :)

Hi

I'll come along to this, only 30 mins drive for me.

I'll vote for Saturday but could do either day.

Hi Pete

I'm still planning on going, I'm just waiting on my garage to install a new starter motor. I've told them I need it done before Saturday.

I'm flexible on where to meet.

 Did anyone go this at the end? Rusty?
 Just wondering if our old Steyr was there?

I went there on Sunday morning.

Its a great event, hill climb cars are not as noisy as at Retro Rides but a good variety of cars and motorbikes, from really old ones to state of the art.

Saw just one white Fiat 126 in the display area next to the hill climb (see attached pic)

Will definitely go back again next year.

Hopefully get a few more 126s there next time. Does anyone have a powerful enough 126 to actually go up the hill climb? I think my standard 126 would only just make it up in 1st gear, let alone at a decent speed.
