quicksilver Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Just got home after an unscheduled stop to fix a Sunbeam Tiger with a dodgy fuel pump Many photos to sort now and yes I did spot the bASe looking rather out of place. This was my favourite:Â And here's said Tiger before it disgraced itself. Fixed now and hopefully well on its way home. alf892, Dick Longbridge, strangeangel and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Longbridge Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Stanza looks purdy. Wtaf is a new MX5 doing there though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six-cylinder Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 I was there in comfort, in my BMW 735i. BorniteIdentity 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quicksilver Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Stanza looks purdy. Wtaf is a new MX5 doing there though?There was a lot of modern stuff that wasn't in any way classic and didn't deserve to be there. Even a 64-reg Vauxhall Insignia in the show field for some reason! Also, a ten-year old Goona still in working order is now officially a classic - see photographic evidence below alf892 and Dick Longbridge 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jifflemon Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 I was in the carpark with the daily, but walked about on foot.. Lots of nice stuff! T5 mid-engined mini  Going back tomorrow, cos it'll probably be stuck there with handbrake or electrical problem  Pretty stuff that caught my eye....          Dick Longbridge, Sigmund Fraud, CGSB and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Longbridge Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 ^ Goonas are the equivalent of Renault 20's in the late 1980's. They're all falling apart, they're being broken at a rate of knots and in around 25 years time, a tiny group of people on the internet will track down the few remaining cars and try, with limited success, to make them work reliably. Edit: Great photos above. Mk1 MR2 looks lovely as well. Has a tall cat peed on the base's passenger door lock? alf892 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Washing it is also illegal, so it's a catch 22. My favourite car of the night? The signal orange Capri. 😠Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alf892 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 It is a nice meet up this one......nice mix of cars and you don't have to look at the ones you don't like. I saw the quicksilver Maxi too....looks even better in the metal. Had a chat to the proud custodian of the base..........and I noticed it got papped a few times too. I saw Mr Six in the distance but he vanished.....tried to guess which car he would have but his fleet is too big for my memory so I didn't have a clue.

quicksilver Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 A few more highlights Sherply Sherpless SVM Funeral Services Local reg Acclaim This looked like a full-on roadgoing BTCC car Late BX Don't normally like Beetles but this was sweet Straight out of Max Power circa 1998 German build quality at its finest. Check out that hole in the wing One of these would fit in the back of the other Magnum opus I know it isn't but I'm going to call this a Lincoln Continental just to annoy Herr Junkman Just like a mini Thunderbird Where did these all disappear to?Scened VWs were in abundance but here's some natural rat look Nice unmolested early Ashtray This was in the car park for some reason but was far more deserving of the show field than many of the things that were there Dick Longbridge, Skizzer, Aston Martin and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jifflemon Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 I'm currently sat in Heathrow, flying out to Italy, returning tomorrow so rather annoyingly will miss this. Was going to take the 480 too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alf892 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 There is a 'breakfast' version of this on Sunday 21st May............about 9 until 1 I think. Facebook flyer mentions bacon butties, coffee and live music. I've promised to tidy the garden up..........and this isn't far away from the tip I use so might pop in with the truck!

alf892 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 This was on again last night...........not exactly a balmy summer evening but I went anyway. Spoke to this fella.............he had driven this old crate over 30 miles to get there.........brave eh? Six-cylinder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alf892 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 It is time for this again............weather looks good so far and I've heard a rumour that a cheap version of this will be there......... BorniteIdentity 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jifflemon Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Having to miss it again - I've got to look at the brakes on my friends Sebring convertible. Kwik fit have been there, so I'm expecting everything to be seized, rounded or both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alf892 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 This is on again next Wednesday............always a good turn out........and if the weather is good it gets packed. Because next Weds is August it will of course be a hot summers evening............ so see you there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alf892 Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 This Wednesday is the last meet of the year...........seems like a bloody quick spring/summer though. I'm going if the weather is reasonable (reasonable=not snowing) solid61 and Six-cylinder 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six-cylinder Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 I am going too, not sure which car yet. My BMW E30 is also likely to be there as a friend has asked to borrow it for the event. alf892 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quicksilver Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Will probably be going if the weather's okay. There's just enough miles left on the Maxi insurance before it gets renewed tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
