Cars
and Bikes at the Triton
always
some superb motors at The
Triton - home of the hot-wheels, glowing tail pipes and esoteric number
plates!
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?
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 of every month
with their next meet taking place on
Sunday the 6th December. They
usuall roll up from about 7:00 onwards and stay until after it gets
dark, though this month its an afternoon meet, and they will be
here from 2pm as they tuck into a Triton Christmas Dinner.
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.

The guys also participate in The
Yorkshire Yanks forum or community, who have a helpful
and informative
web site where they discuss all things muscle machine. We were
pleased to see 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 Nick

 
The Piston
Heads
. . .car club

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:

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.
  
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 one August afternoon lined
up in our Car Park in the middle of one of their ride-outs, raising
money for charity.

. . 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.
