Not long until these start again. We'll see how this year goes.
Normally a good mix of everything from Hot Rods to Honda's.
Will I make it to the 1st one in the Polo? Who knows!

I'm going to try and get there and do a bit of Mustang leaflet-bombing for the Northern Pony Club! I'll take the car to work and go straight up from there and I might have a slim chance of getting a decent spot!

It has been posted on the Metrocentre Car Meet FB page that confirms the owners of the retail park will be turning away any cars turning up on Wednesday (and logging reg numbers) so it does look like it is no more.

So anyone in an 'interesting car' is actually going to be turned away? If I turn up in my Maxima for a McDonalds, or to buy my recently arrived nephew something from Toys'r'Us, are they seriously going to move me somewhere else?

Apparently they will be using ANPR to check the registrations and the Police will be there in force this week issuing notices to everyone entering the car park (not just interesting vehicles). This week will be a warning not to come back and if people return next month they can expect to be spoken to by the Police and have their cars thoroughly checked over. This information has been received directly from the police by a member of another car group I am in and I would take it as 100% reliable.

Copied from the FB Page
Latest Update - the following ive copied from someone who knows a bit more about whats happening -- The retail park is deffo over they are going to be there on wed with marked and unmarked cars and CCTV, the npr system is already on the retail park so everyone (including customers as they can’t differ between the two) will get letters saying if they are attending the car meet they are doing so illegally. Any burnouts, fast driving, antisocial behavior will be dealt with on the spot this week. Anyone returning again the next month then they will start enforcing (i.e. if someone has as much as a bolt that is not declared to the insurance company bald tire they can kiss goodbye to their car) also they are in the process with the council to get the retail park an ASBO which will mean no gatherings etc etc so that will also be an enforceable offence. As far as the organized one they haven’t said a deffo no but should hear back soon on that one see what happens.

It Certainly is.
Shame but its become a victim of its own success, I wouldn't have minded going tonight as a last hurrah but I don't think I'm going to be able to make it.
