Earls barton classic car meet

[solid61]

Car meet starts again next wednesday 4.30 till 9.00 pm,if the weather is good its well worth a visit,good catering stands and lots of classic cars/ bikes to look at.

[Six-cylinder]

I am planning to go if the weather is ok, not sure which car yet.

[BorniteIdentity]

I may also come along as I'm devoid of work this week.

[quicksilver]

Planning to be there in the Maxi.

[BorniteIdentity]

I'm here...On the offchance anyone else is also here. Base on field!

[quicksilver]

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:

 

And here's said Tiger before it disgraced itself. Fixed now and hopefully well on its way home.

Stanza looks purdy. Wtaf is a new MX5 doing there though?

[Six-cylinder]

I was there in comfort, in my BMW 735i.

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

 

[Jifflemon]

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....

^ 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?

Loooob. The lock was perilously close to seizing. Washing it is also illegal, so it's a catch 22.

 

My favourite car of the night? The signal orange Capri. ðŸ˜

Few more. Shame the corolla's been ruined by some twunt with a haircut, because otherwise it's lovely​.

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.

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

[Jifflemon]

Could have take plenty of "Twunts who have annoyed me with their cars" but decided to keep my blood pressure down.

[alf892]

This has rolled around again........it is tomorrow

 

Anyone going?

[Jifflemon]

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.

[alf892]

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]

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?

 

[alf892]

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.........

[Jifflemon]

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.

[alf892]

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

I'll try and have a wander down, i take there is loads of parking for the less interesting cars?

[alf892]

Yes......loads.

 

Food and drink available too.....the fish and chips is pretty fair

[alf892]

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)

[Six-cylinder]

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.

[Six-cylinder]

Decision made, Rover 114 SLi for me tonight.

[quicksilver]

Will probably be going if the weather's okay. There's just enough miles left on the Maxi insurance before it gets renewed tomorrow.
