Write Up Local car meet today

[Pond]

I attended my first ever car meet this morning in my Z3.
It was held at a local garden centre just five minutes from my house. Last one of the year, held every third Sunday from March to September.
I wasn't expecting much but was amazed how many vehicles and people turned up. There must have been a hundred cars and bikes. Free entry aswell!
To say there was an eclectic mix is an understatement, especially as it is supposed to be a 'classic' event.
You can just see my P&J sandwiched between a Ford pop hotrod and a Skoda Felicia pick-up! I said it was eclectic.
My favourites were the blue TR6 (it was absolutely immaculate), the M5 and the Kwaka KH400.

The local shows with the ‘bring what you have’ attitude are always more interesting, I think.

There is always a brown Austin All-agro at these things …pure class!

Yep, even though that one was a VP so much posher, and an obligatory E-type.

There was a nearly new Morgan plus four which was very nice. It was an auto and had a BMW B48 engine, apparently.

I do really fancy an Emira, though. My head (and wife) says no but my heart says oh yeah.

Local car meet today was a great chance to see some unique builds and talk with fellow enthusiasts. I always enjoy checking out different styles, from classics to modified imports, and getting inspiration for future projects. If anyone is looking for affordable project cars or salvage deals, I recently found buy donated cars in illinois AutobidMaster helpful for browsing options online. It’s worth a look before your next build idea. Looking forward to the next meet already and more conversations about cars and upgrades there.

I had one in late eighties what I called a sh"t brown colour. If only I'd kept it!!

My Dad bought a 1500 VDP auto new in 1975 ( Also in brown), he swapped a Rover 3500s for it. The salesman asked him if he realised it would be a lot slower that the Rover and Dad said that was fine he wanted a sensible economical car. He nearly killed himself at the first roundabout pulling out and expecting it to go. It was very quickly swapped for a XJ6L.
