Greenwich..to go or not

My usual response is...........stay home. The show is not worth the 20 bucks(or whatever it is up to these days)

 

0846 and P 4/5 on Sunday.

 

I'll be there Sunday

 

But without your Mondi, you dont stand a chance of winning a trophy.

 

It's always a good, low key show, fun to see old friends showing cars or just looking, and it benefits a good charity.

And the parking lot is the best used car lot on the planet!

What's not to like?

I wouldn't miss it.

 

Bought my GT/4 there 3 years ago, now since sold.

 

Miller Motors has a beautiful Enzo in yellow they might bring. It is a great show, and the low key aspect is perfect.

 

They're going to have some old America's Cup 12 meter yachts on display as well for those interested in ecological wind powered transportation.

 

Ha, WITH my Mondi I wouldn't stand a chance either...

 

Have been to this show only once before but really liked it for the variety of cars. It's a very well run show. Will be there again this year.

Dave -- sorry to hear that your beautiful GT4 is gone.

 

What are the details (when does it open; where exactly is it; which day is best to go)?

 

Peter will you be showing your 330? Now that is beautiful! Unfortunately prior plans will keep me away.

 

My wife and I are planning to go. I went last year on Sunday (Sat is American). The weather was great. I also got a pass into the auction tent, which was cool.
Last I checked the weather is so-so.
If anyone wants to grab lunch while there, I'm in.

Jim G, I would love to finally meet you and of course, your car(s)!

Jim

I will be showing the 330 -- sorry to hear you won't be there.

 

The weather forecast is dire, get there early.

 

no rain in the AM, times of sun and clouds. Chance of rain in the later afternoon, not bad

 

National Weather Service says 70% chance of rain and hail possible.

"Showers and thunderstorms likely. Some of the storms could produce small hail, gusty winds, and heavy rain. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 84. Breezy, with a south southwest wind 8 to 11 mph increasing to between 18 and 21 mph. Winds could gust as high as 32 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%. New rainfall amounts between a quarter and half of an inch possible."

 

AccuWeather takes all its info locally, its much more trustworthy than any other service... Says no rain in the AM, and possibility of thunderstorms later in the afternoon. No hail at all.

 

I also see mention of hail using Siri on iphone (probably links to same National Weather Service), but Weather Channel and AccuWeather don't mention it. The weather forecasts have been pretty inaccurate lately -- it was broadly forecasted to rain today but we didn't see a drop.

 

NOAA isn't exactly clueless, and they certainly aren't biased.

Showers and thunderstorms likely, mainly after 8am. Some of the storms could produce small hail, gusty winds, and heavy rain. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 84. Breezy, with a south southwest wind 8 to 11 mph increasing to between 18 and 21 mph. Winds could gust as high as 32 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%. New rainfall amounts between a quarter and half of an inch possible.

 

Given how inaccurate weather.com and accuweather often are I've taken to using NWS more and more.
