Just arrived back from this.
What an unexpected surprise.There was a large selection of classic,vintage and modern cars on display,from mini's to cobra's.A selection of Elises/exige's and three Elans.One of those being Mr Enright's.Don't know who the other belonged to,it was a red se.
This meet would certainly be worth attending and it's on once a month.
Sorry forgot my camara!

Oh bollocks, I wish someone had reminded me (but ultimately my fault as I forgot), I've just spent the morning watching the bloody marathon!

I forgot my newer camera phone, but did have my older one with me, so managed to get a few decent pics...

Bloodhound hell, Geoff.

How old are you?

They were going out of service in my first few years in the RAF!

Yes, it does look a bit wet.
I'll wait and see what it looks like on the day.
If not, the next one is June 29th.

It has just started hammering down with rain - as forecast.
This Bromsgrovian's going nowhere today, sorry.

Sorry, didn't see your post until after I got back! Were you the other red M100 there?

A good turnout, with an interesting selection of cars, modern and classic. Definitely worth the trip, I will go again.

Yes Phil,it was me.
This is the second one i've been to and it was a good turn out of a great selection of car enthusiasts.But,there wasn't as many as the first time i went,maybe people were unsure of the weather!
It's an ideal meet for me as i only live 10 mins away.
Cheers,
Roger
