Well. Another enjoyable rally. here's what I wrote on the D Section forum of the CCCs website:
Just back and settled after this years D rally at Little Horwood. Kids are bathed and tent is drying out in the garage.
Saturday weather was kind to us with more than 30 Ds making the convoy run to Waddesdon Manor where we took over a corner of the car park in the sun and talked all things DS. Some took advantage of the option of a packed lunch from Little Horwood and stayed there to picnic. Back to site and the weather held for the rest of the day with fresh coffee and treats on tap from an H van barista and the promise of fresh oven baked pizzas at the end of the afternoon. The rain only began at 10pm - telling us it was time to turn in for the day.
Sunday was wetter with drizzle through much of the morning but this didn't dampen spirits and the Ds soon began to roll in. Again there were more than 30 Ds on the field ranging from humble 1962 models through to the end and top of the line - including a couple of Decaps. Breakfasts and lunch were well organised and devoured hungrily. Citroen Classics were on site for those all important big and small bits a few people were offering the usual temptations of salvaged oily bits at give away prices.
As ever, another enjoyable D Rally. Maybe a little muted by the weather but it was clear to see that those that made it there both appreciated it, and had a thoroughly good time. My thanks to all those that made it happen.
I think that sums it up nicely. My kids loved it. They got filthy dirty and spent most of the weekend with Darrin and Kris' boys.
I'm sure I recall a rally circa 2001 with more than 100 Ds on the field at the same time. My memory could be playing tricks. I'm sure the rally stats will have been reported in the Citroenian at some point. I must go and check.
