With car parking spaces for over a hundred cars, The Triton naturally attracts a wide variety of cars and vehicles. When we see unusual, strikingingly attractive or notworthy vehicles we often pop out and get a picture as many of our team are 'total petrolheads'. We shall be posting many of the pictures here - maybe YOUR car will appear?
The Triton is the venue for several Car Club meetings every month, and also some annual rallies / calvacades / run-outs. We have one coming up in June - the East Yorkshire Thoroughbred car Club's calvacade and rally, which takes place on the 16th June. It's a Wednesday evening and the cars will be arriving from 6pm.
Over a hundred cars (and a few dozen classic bikes and scooters as well) usually turn up for this event, so parking for customers is limited, but there is always space on the roads close to the Triton.
CAR CLUBS Several car clubs and groups have regular meets at The Triton. Its an ideal location, not only because we are so close to the main A63 / M62 artery, but the surrounding countryside is so scenic, and our clients are usually appreciative and cast many admiring looks over the wonderful vehicles. And thats one of the reasons to own and run a wonderful machine. (and probably because the food, drink, company and welcome at The Triton are pretty good too!)

The Hull and East Yorkshire All American Cruise In.
-
meet at The Triton on the first Sunday and the third of every 
month.
They
usuall roll up from about 7:00 onwards and stay until well after it
gets
dark.There is usually a great display of Ford GTs, Mustangs, Dodges, Chevies and other exotic Americana - mostly pure muscle machines, and of course their drivers who will be delighted to talk to you about their favourite subject. More details on their own web site.
This
Summer the
Yorkshire Yanks (just another of their interesting names)
organised a huge Rumblefest to celebrate 4th July
(you could hear the engines rumbling from miles around!). The
event attracted 137 entries from American bikes, trucks and cars.
A fuller report with photographs can be found on our Rumblefest page -
click on the Rumblefest logo to go there. 
The guys also have
their own The
Yorkshire Yanks forum or community, which is a very
helpful
and informative
web site where they discuss all things muscle machine. We were pleased to see committee member Nick Strang's comments about our Steak in Ale Pie on there -
" . . if I ever get the death sentence the steak and ale pie shall be my last meal. It was perfect."
Thanks for those compliments Nick - we think your Mustang is pretty cool too (couldn't eat one all at once though!)
. . .car club
have an informal gathering
at the
Triton on the third Monday of each month. They normally gather
from 7pm onwards - cars among the regulars include a Ferrari 348,
Porsche 996 GT2, several TVR's and a VXR220. It is attended mainly by
people from Pistonheads.com
and the East Yorks lot are a good bunch,
with anyone being welcome. Its organised by TOM who has a gorgeous red
MR2, mark 1A with a sunroof.Porsche Club's Wolds Wander "a great success."
The Porsche Club of Great Britain
organised their Wolds Wander to start from the Triton on Sunday 17th
May. The cars (and owners!) assembled at The Triton from 9 am
onwards, enjoying the brilliant Brantingham sunshine, our best bacon
sandwiches and the suual variety of hot drinks, prior to their
being despatched. Organiser Andrew Warner pronouned the run a "a great success" with no cars getting lost or breaking down en route. After their trip over the Wolds, the run finished at Malton in the early afternoon.
The Porsche Club of Great Britain is a non profit making organisation formed in 1961. It is the only such organisation officially recoignised by Porsche. The members raise money for charity and the club offers a variety of benefits for its members - more details can be found at the club's web-site: http://testpcgb.adnet.co.uk/AboutPCGB/Commercial.aspx
This year the run will END at the Triton, early afternoon on Sunday 23rd May, so if you like to see various (911s, 928s, 356s Super Cabriolet and other Porsche erotica - thats one Sunday afternoon you need to be at The Triton. It WILL be a buisy day as we already have a Christening Reception booked later that day, so booking early may be a good idea - unless you want to sit on the front terrace and admire the mighty muscle machines of course!

Classics in the (Car)Park
For the second year we were proud to host a meeting of the East Yorkshire Thoroughbred Car Club on 1st July, a sort of Triton version of "Classics in the Park". It was a remarkable turnout, with around 80 of the best cars from the last six decades or so, proudly displayed around the Triton Car Park. indeed, it was so busy that most visitors had to park on the streets of Brantingham - a good thing that the yellow line brigade haven'/t been around to mar the beauty of the Wold's prettiest village. The spectacle was enjoyed by Triton customers who came to admire these fine marques, so lovingly restored by their owners.
This year the rally will take place a little earlier - on Wednesday 23rd June. Its an evening meeting and we expect them, to arrive from 6pm. Your chance to see first hand some of East Yorkshire's classiest classics. What a great excuse to come to the Triton!
Two wheels ?
Not forgetting the two-wheeled fraternity, several groups include the Triton in their organised ride-outs. Among our regular visitors are the good guys of the HULL DRIFTERS, shown here lined up in our Car Park in the middle of one of their ride-outs, raising money for charity. We have also had visits from other local scooter clubs - among the badges we've spotted recently are the Hull Dukes (they never asked if we had a juke box!), Lambretta Club of Great Britain, Selby Moving Targets, Hull Scooter Alliance and the Beverley Scooter Club. Perhaps they come to the Triton for the soul tracks we play on the background music?
. . and yours ?
Many of our customers also have lovely cars and we often get a chance to see some really impressive marques at close quarters in the Triton car park. Here are a selection - is YOURS included? (if not, then please dont take offence - perhaps you just came at a time when we were too busy to get out and take a snap, or maybe the camera's battery was flat!). Please do feel free to take your own picture and email it to us for inclusion. Send it to us at this address: web [at] thetritoninn.com. Thanks in advance, we look forward to seeing your wheels as well.
