I think that must be the largest collection of GTs together I have seen. Thanks and Good Opeling.

Excellent collection of GT's! I wonder how many of them were rescued from the United States. We have so many that are ignored by auto collectors lately.

I didn't see a lot of rear quarter marker lights but I did see a few. Obviously some of them came back accross the pond.

My wife and I were some of about a dozen folks from the U.S. who went to this meet last year. It was our first time out of this country and was a really great time. To be there and watch GT after GT roll in has to be experienced. Not only is the sheer number overwelming but the over all quality of the GTs is jaw dropping. We took a lot of still pictures but the video conveys the size of the event much better. If you like GTs and can swing it you should try to make this one once.

Unbelievable!!! I had no idea such a collection of fine GTs could be assembled all in one place! I was so amazed I thought maybe you were fooling us by walking around in circles... Thank you for posting this!

I counted 173 GT's but I think I missed the ones at the top of the hill. Any idea what the official count was?

Next year they will. No sure if the numbers will come close to the GT meet though.

Some people in the US can't even imagine that many roadworthy GTs in the entire world. Blew my mind to see that many in one place. I've got to go sometime.
