Great photos. I can only say thank you to everyone for turning up and making the effort to compete. You guys made the event.

Great turn out today. Thanks everyone who came.
Total of £23 to put in the charity box.
Let's see what pictures you have I didn't get many to busy organising and hassling people for vote slips.
Well done to the winners sorry I don't have a picture wills brz. Will definitely be running the event again next year. We will see about a bigger venue.
I will keep everyone updated with dawn drive.

Looking forward to the meetup nonetheless.

With me Claire has just given me mine back after I've cleaned hers and it's like it's been off roading. No time to clean it again now.

Same here. Engine in mine still has the horrible sticky green stuff Subaru use to stop salts getting to the engine in transit. It sticks muck to the engine better than glue and roxy the dog enjoys painting mud pictures all over my interior.
Who tried getting mud out of alcatara it's impossible. I put to much cleaner on the drivers seat look like a gentleman's trouser accident.

On arrival tomorrow do what you can to park in the same area. Should make for some good photos with all the spotless cars side by side. Obviously guest competitors encourage are welcome to intermingle.
If you could bring correct change for the competition entry that would be a great help.
When your parked there's no rush to sign the entry sheet get a drink or eats first if you want . Those wanting to be there with Ben as he judges that's no problem and your welcome to argue your scores after the trophies have been awarded.
If it helps Ben will be marking your paint shine, wheels, interior clean and engine bay. My engine bay is filthy so a wipe with a greasy rag will beat my score there.
I will have the club vote slips with me either in the bar or at my car pictured below with my border collie so you cant miss me. Simply take a slip make a note of the club car you like best and hand it back before 1pm.
There isn't any official presentation. But if everyone wants to see the cups awarded gather near the cars at 1ish unless raining in which case grab a drink and congregate in a corner of the bar.
No planned finishing time so don't feel pressured to hang around if you've had enough.
Those bringing non members I trust you will keep them under control some of these mazda (yes I'm bringing a guest mazda eunos which is the worst of the lot) and audi drivers can be quite the rabble and if your guest looks like winning a blind eye can be turned to sabotage or bribery.
Anyone wanting more information about detailing or car care products and techniques Ben from Lawtomotive will be around till 3ish
Any questions let me know or if I've missed anything remind me otherwise see you all tomorrow let the brightest car win.

Everyone knows the moment someone breaks the wax out it's bound to rain. Just stop at polish and everything is fine
Would everyone consider it cheating or initiative taking it bottle of spray wax tomorrow for that just waxed look before judging starts

Lowe reacted to this -
Definitely feeling more positive weather wise having just watched BBC breakfast weather.
Wash and polish for the black gt86 this morning and full detail for the red car this afternoon.
Andrew Smith reacted to this -
Fingers crossed the scooters stay in Leek. Might be worth heading up from the Buxton side if you have that option.
Weather forecast is looking better depending on whose forecast you look at.

24 minutes ago, Cerastes said:Long way for me to go just for breakfast and a drive. But that picture is tempting me so much
Don't forget the chance for a photo shoot and some banter.
Nearly got the route sorted. Just need some inspiration for a breakfast location and picture spot.

Route and time details added:
Dawn drive route from Macclesfield to the yonderman for breakfast
meeting 5am 16th July at RRG Macclesfield, Hibel Rd, Macclesfield SK10 2AB
Hi everyone I'm organising a dawn drive enjoying some of the best roads of Cheshire and Derbyshire before the rest of the world wakes up and then enjoying a club breakfast.
The plan is for all taking part to be at the start ready to go as the sun comes up. So from the moment the first trace of pink in the sky shows we are go.
At this time of morning there should be time for a stop for club photos if people want to.
Number of cars will determine what sort of route and how many groups there are so that we can run a good pace without lights and junctions breaking up the flow
The event will take place early June. Meeting point will be Macclesfield. Once the final route is confirmed I will post a link to Google maps with the full drive planned.
Surgestion for breakfast location are useful please. Need to open around 9am and serve a proper breakfast.
The date will be fixed by this evening.

So the car show is getting closer and sods law it starts raining ☔. Without wanting to jinx things the 21st looks OK for the time being.

I've found these on eBay been watching them for a while just can't keep funds in the bank long enough to afford them (bloody family and friends all having birthdays). Maybe of use to someone else as far as I know them fit.

If it's in rrg macc have Richard give it a proper vallet for you.

@DaveaH. If it's a bit dirty and the front has eaten a few bugs just shows that you're using it properly.
I've spoken with my fellow organiser and the club voted category will take usage into account. So well used daily drivers will still be in with a chance.
