the first meet of the season is this evening, and the sun is shining  

anyone local coming along ? 

The Old Brickworks, Wilden Terrace, Pattinson South Industrial Estate., NE38 8QB Washington

it’s a friendly meet with a good variety of cars, both proper classics and old chod. and usually a coffee or burger van too.

i'm heading across in the Exo with @DVee8, meeting @Mi30n there in his mx5

here’s a video i found from a couple of years back

I'll be there in my recently aquired Tipo along with my mate in his K11 Micra, looking forward to it

Bollocks. I didn't realise. I was just up the road with the dogs as well having a mooch around.

Autoshite corner, quite diverse

We put up this polytunnel.  Express out of shot to the right.

Are these the guys who were having problems with the roof on their building, as per a couple of the magazines recently? Hope things are moving in the right direction for them.

Shame I'm not closer, looks like a good place

the building is an old brickworks and the roof is knackered, they are raising funds to repair / replace the roof - they host several shows and autojumbles throughout the year and welcome visitors and new members to the club

I saw a big old Yank estate rumble past me last night while I was walking the dogs. He gave a proper throttle blip for my benefit as he went around a roundabout.  Lovely stuff.

another local meet tonight, this time it’s the dairy barn over near Crook, county durham

always a decent turnout and the food is very good
