First meet of the year

Post by RobTwin »

...and our first time there.
Heard about it thru facebook, as seems to be the way these days.
A monthly breakfast meet (10am-1pm), April to Oct, I think, last Sunday of the month.
Met at Paul's (61 Impala) then stopped off at another mate Nigel's and had a look round his newly acquired 32 all-steel roadster!
Waited for a couple more mates to arrive (Andy, 64 Bonneville & Richard, 72 Dart Swinger), who eventually turned up about an hour late with 3 more (71 Charger, Mustang and modern Chally)!
So nine of us (including Nigels' son in his Mini) set off for Riverside Park in St Neots, Cambs.
The place was rammed by the time we got there but luckily found a few places to park. If we go again, we'll make sure we get there before 10am.
The only other MMAers we saw were Matt and Mandie but that was only as we were leaving around 12.30, just as they were arriving! :?

Usual mix of UK / US / Euro classics and modern odds and ends...

Thanks Derek. I've been keeping an eye on Brooklands list of events and it looks like they haven't confirmed anything before the planned lifting of restrictions in June, so we'll probably have to wait for the American day in September :-k

We popped along to this as well in Mandie's truck, just as everyone was leaving.It had been "closed" as an event, so we just decided to go to St Neots for a coffee and found lots of others in old cars doing the same!

It was drive it day, so a run out was needed. I did get the Dodge ambulance out later in the day too. Challenger still under wraps. Nice to see real people and chat and see some cars in metal rather than on a screen.

Hi Matt, yes we saw you enter the car park just as we were leaving! Our mate Nigel (62 'vette) said the organiser lives over the road from him and he was worried that it was going to get too crowded so put a msg up on fb that the event was 'closed'. I think most people still went anyway, reasoning that it's a public car park so no one can stop them!
It was full when we got there about 11am but as most of the cars were joe public just there for the park and cafe, there was a regular turn around of cars leaving and freeing up spaces.
A good one for the future, but we'll aim to get there by 10 next time :-k

We will probably go again, St Neots is a nice little town to wander round and get a coffee or walk by the river.
I did wave as you were driving out, i was passenger duty in the truck.
