Looks like that place has changed visually since I was last there (RR Gathering 2010).
A lovely mix of cars there. Great pics. Thanks for sharing.

Decembers meet is on the 6th (1st sunday of every month) thanks for the 4, yes four comments on the above photos, I'm wondering what folk want to see in a photo link from shows, should i state what each car is (something which is obvious to most of us) or the years it ran. i did another photo link to a meet held at the Museum of Power in Maldon which got 0 ..... No comments at all, link retrorides.proboards.com/thread/183618/photos-coffee-museum-power-maldonplease be open with what you want to see along side the photos, or maybe its my choice of vehicle is slipping more into classic rather than retro |

I wouldn't take it personally when counting the meagre number of replies to your pics. It's just the way it is seemingly, and isn't a slight on your choice of frame fillers or lack of info.
I used to spend hours sometimes after a show uploading pics to the hosting site and posting them on this and other forums, only to have the same lack-lustre response, so I stopped doing it, told myself to stop looking at the show cars through a lens whilst trying to frame a nice pic, and rather to actually look at the cars with my eyes and enjoy them more. It worked. I appreciate what I see better now.
That said, please don't stop posting your pics lol!!

Looks like a good sized meet with some nice variety. The little Renault 5 stood out for me.
As for what to tag along with pics, seeing as you asked. I wouldn't bother with factual info (unless that is the interesting thing about a car). I would just add a little personal comment if something about it caught your eye. (eg 'loved the wheels on this one' or 'I thought this was a bold colour choice') If nothing springs to mind when posting the picture don't put a comment and move on.
Thanks for posting.

Has that flamed up Pop thing weed itself?  Now, that's quite an eclectic day out... 80s Swedish turbonutter vs 30s Welsh wooden jalopy vs 21st Century computer-guided oriental missile. Lovely  I wouldn't worry about the lack of responses. My advice would be to do the thread for yourself because you want to, and accept that 99% of people are too ignorant to indulge in common courtesy these days  |

Hmm, now I'm on the horns of a dilemma. I normally try to say at least "Ta ever so" when a photo thread appeals (and not all do - depending on content) but I've been a bit distracted of late, so just caught up with this. I'd like to say thanks, but now feel that I'm being pushed into it a little because I'm late, and looking like I don't wish to appear rude. However that said, lets's ignore what has gone before and just say, some lovely old British tin there, so, thanks |

This was never ment as a fishing trip, more of a way to find out how my threads were going down, were they dull, lacking details or to much 60's and 70's ect.
Another good thing about getting the odd comment is that it helps keep the thread visible for a few days as it can very quickly drop from page one, by doing this it helps to promote the event and encourage others to bring thier cars along, who may of thought that only A1 show cars attend these things. Thanks for all the feed back guys.

Has that flamed up Pop thing weed itself? Yes, just little wee though. It does contain Triumph parts (Dolly Sprint) so incontinence not too surprising  . The Haynes breakfast meet is nothing if not eclectic - and you never know what will show up so you just have to go and see . Nick |

Love the Mk2 Cortina with the V6 badges. Do you know if it was a genuine Savage?
Edit: A zoom in on the front wing badge and it says Savage. Definately now got a case of 'I want it'!!!
