That was much better than I thought it would be...... !!

Nice range of cars, some I don't normally look at, so made a nice change... The Scoobies were the best obviously.............

Must admit though - when that lorry tyre went BANG, did make me wonder WTF it was... Plod didn't seem that botherd though......

Thanks for the coffee Brian.........

Will sort my piccies out this afternoon - although didn't take too many.... to busy chatting to people!

Hope it's not too bad news Tiny .

Nice little meet. Good to get to chat to a few new people. Nice little blat home, even if we did get stuck behind a couple of Sunday drivers and then had to wait for the newage among us (should have brought the classic Kev ).

A few pics...































Boy, do they go bang in a loud way!


And todays WTF award goes to.....

Sorry to hear about the gearbox Tiny, I know what it's like, when mine went it took the rear diff with it and locked the whole transmission up, wouldn't go anywhere, had to get it low loaded home

STi 6-speed with DCCD next Much more fun

Meet sounds and looks like it was pretty good

Well, here are my puny efforts for the meet today………… Much to my surprise, the shots came out OK, especially surprising as I found that the filter I had left on the lens was the wrong one……. Duh!!

In no particular order………………












And this one did go BANG…………

First of bad news on the car Tiny, hope you get it sorted soon.

Was a good meet nice steady drive down, well we had to with all those classics lagging behind

Nice to see some Simon 57 & Budgie, plenty of decent looking cars star of the show was the mondeo, I really thought it was a GTiR

Sorry I lost you boys on the way back but my engine light came on and just coasted until I could park up and let it sort itself out

All back to normal now though.

Must of been all that extra weight on the end of your bonnet that put the extra strain on the gearbox....

Bad news that Tiny. Rung to see if you was having your breakfast at the services only to be told of your troubles. Hope it's all sorted soon & the pods are back on the road bigger & stronger than ever.

Well what a great little meet with some well turned out cars. Couldn't have asked for better weather after all the wind & rain we've been getting.Well done to the organisers.

Here are a few of my pics.





















Love this one by Looie

absolutely great meet

refreshing to see some other great cars (not including that fecking mondeo) - what was that all about???

never see a green wagon go from sound barrier to 30 mph in such a short space of time either, on the way home

that white RX7 sounded mental !!!

Just leaving the reduction of speed from 60 limit to 30 a little late, that's all.

At least I saw the patrol car this time.

Yeah, cos 60 is nearly always described as light speed isn't it

The Scooby gods were with us.

On my way home I went past a m/cycle unit in a lay-by near Dunmow on the A120 pointing his hairdryer at everyone. I was doing a generous 70 when some **** pulled out without signaling making me to slow down to 60 just as we rounded the curve & his Hi Vis came into sight. That's got to be the best bit of being cut up I have ever had.

Few pics from the TB Developments site.


At least 5 familiar faces in the crowd.




What model is this? It had a skull & cross bones badge.
