Bit late posting some pics after a busy week and being on a bit of a downer after the car decided to break down on the way home thanks to the extreme heat
But we think we're on top of the problem... time will tell ...
Until that point tho it was a good journey and a good day down on the coast, just a shame more of the 'oldies' that used to go to these meets back in the 80's couldn't make it
I'm not sure how many of the people and/or cars that did make it were also there 'back in the day' apart from us/ours?

Nice pics, sorry to hear you had grief on the way home
Thanks Dom, yes the 'breakdown' surprised us a bit - to say the least - as the water temp had been ok all day (factory gauge not far off mid-way between H and C at its hottest) so to eventually find it had vapour-locked due to the heat was a bit frustrating
We prob wont have the same set of circumstances again, at least not for a while (30 deg temps, 2 hour journey with slow M25 traffic) but if we do at least we now have some high-temp sleeving on the fuel lines / pipes to help prevent it
And it could have been worse... the car did breakdown outside my house so it was better having to wait 9 hours for recovery there (back to stu's) than somewhere on the M25
