Default 40 Years of Mitsubishi in the UK day

Had the fantastic opportunity on Saturday to attend the Mitsubishi Grand Tour which celebrated 50 years of the brand in the UK 1974-2014 !

The day consisted of 60 Mitsubishi owners meeting up at Rendcomb Airfield in Gloucestershire, signing on, quick brekky then start the Grand Tour! Starting at the airfield, we were given a route book with directions to various checkpoints to Silverstone where there was a buffet lunch on for us ! After lunch we headed back to the Airfield after stopping at a very picturesque checkpoint !

On returning, we had a presentation from the head of Mitsubishi UK and Wheeler Dealer presenter Mike Brewer followed by a chance to Wing Walking with the Breitling Wing Walkers and a BBQ and live band !

All in all a top day, got a load of gifts from them and also a memento framed photo of our cars leaving Silverstone well happy !

Here's my pics as you can see there were a lot of variety plus our EVO 6's





























And a couple of mine that I took

No disrespect but shouldn't these be on a Mitsubishi forum or at least non-Subaru section

You obviously didn't read the text under the section header, did you?





Merv's car is pictured, so it belongs in here.

It's nice to see a bit of variety from time to time.

Very nice. I've always been a sucker for a red tommi, but your white one is looking exceptional.

I was tagged on Book Face on a post on the Wheeler Dealers page, the link was on the Mitsubishi UK website ! Not sure how widespread it was though !
