Hi folks, today was the first meet of Lord Trigglesworthy of this Parish's East Coast Retros club meet down in Marks Tey, instead of flooding the site with pictures, cop a load of what I took on my Flickr site

I â¤︠the light-blue Cortina estate There were masses running around when I was a nipper, but I've not seen one in person for years.

Bugger. I had no idea this was happening! Next time I'll pay attention.

Great photos Marty, It was a fantastic turn out again considering the time of year and i enjoyed my breakfast (big full english with a coffee for £6, bargain).

 

I'll upload some photos in a bit.

Cheers Triggs, glad my old heap gave folks a laugh, it's not a bad thing when you look at what I paid for it.I left early as I couldn't be bothered queueing up for food, plus wasn't that hungry tbh, had a steady drive back via the back roads, as that A12 pointless speed restriction really did my nut in, 40 mph for miles, for no reason whatsoever, and at that speed, that exhaust really does my nut in

Why, what were you in? 

[Felly Magic]

I was in my white beast of crustyness, with it's side exit tailpipe!

[Sudsprint]

Forgotten how sweet the original Fiesta looked.

[mercrocker]

How does one find out about future events? I am often in this neck of the woods of a weekend.

If you are on Faceache, join East Coast Retros, I think the next meet is on the first Sunday in March down at Shotley Marina

Contact me! We normally have events in the Ipswich area but we thought we'd do one at the diner again as a start of season get together.

 

Here's the photos that I took yesterday.

 

My Civic and a mint Chevette that's done under 20000 miles.

 

 

My mate and his Mk5 Estate and a a Chrysler Newport.

 

 

Very tidy 924.

 

 

968 Sport.

 

 

I'm not sure who's the P5 was but it was stunning all the same.

 

 

Fellys bargain Favorit.

 

 

Oldford's amazingly clean Mk5 that's he's recently bought, unrestored and 38000 miles from new, The wheels and chrome bits were fitted when new.

 

 

 

This was recently found in the back of a barn after 18 years and was earmarked for banger racing, my mate saved it, moted it and is now using it as a daily, check out the patina.

 

 

 

 

 

3.0 V6 Essex powered Corsair.

 

 

Late 740i.

 

 

Tidy Scirocco.

 

 

This little Fiesta has only covered 55k and again was very tidy, the current owner is thinking of fitting a Zetec Turbo to it but keeping the outside and interior stock.

 

 

 

This was the Fiesta owners old car.

 

 

I just caught this Dodge leaving.

 

 

Harris Zetec powered 4 door Escort, apparently this was the first Zetec that Harris built and it has 200 bhp, it was still spinning through the gears in 3rd as it left.

 

 

I loved this HPE, the sills had seen a few plates over the years though.

 

 

 

 

5.0 V8 Capri Perana that arrived just as i had to leave.

 

[Felly Magic]

I think you were quite surprised when I told you how much my car cost. A great turn out with a rich variety too, and an aww factor with 'lil Pud', who is already in training on how to photobomb

[dugong]

I had nowt show worthy and was ill yesterday. Looked a good turn out. 

Send me your gathering times Trig for 2015 and I'll whack 'em in the diary. 

[trigger]

The next one is Sunday 1st March at the Shipwreck in Shotley, 1pm onwards and the next then will be Sunday 29th March at the Ipswich Transport Museum from 10am, we are having a proper show there with hopefully the vintage buses running to giving rides around the town.

Here's a dull Gopro recording on done of it.

 

[worldofceri]

Great stuff. I'll try to get to one of these meets at least this year. I'm in north Essex about once a month or so visiting in-laws so I'll have to be canny about matching up the dates.

[Felly Magic]

Nice vid there Triggs

[AlabamaShrimp]

Looks like some good stuff. Well done on someone saving the cortina, shame that yet another fiesta is going to lose its engine
