A small local classic car meeting in a pub car park, great way to spend a couple of hours meeting new people and being surprised at the cars lurking within just a few miles radius that I'd never seen before!    Apparently this is one of three left, super rare right hand drive. It was put in a barn for 20 years until the current owner pulled it out and got it on the road again. He's leaving it like this, just essential and sympathetic mechanical maintenance to keep it safe and running. Lovely thing, a real treat to see! |

 Gorgeous Alvis. I love these things, if ever there was a luxury British brand that needed a comeback it's them.  Lovely Zephyr, they look so small now!  1600E Cortina, I always feel these are kind of the forgotten Cortina iteration. |

 Straight six sounded lovely, what a soundtrack the streets of the sixties must've had with things like this burbling away through the twin exhausts.  The coolest Ghias IMO, I just adore a Razoredge!  It's a modern but it really isn't, what a magnificent thing. Owner was a really nice bloke too. |

 The organiser's Alpine, great colour.  Proper Porsche, the shape still looks modern today  Big Healeys don't actually look that big, the Mini certainly doesn't! |

  SO good to see a stock lower-end Sierra rather than a Cosworth clone or something like that. This properly took me back to being a kid. Imagine Ford cleaning up the shape, making it a bit more like the original Probe III low-drag concept and relaunching it with electric power. How awesome would that be? |

 Really nice E30, such a practical classic.  Mk1 Golf Cabrio was nice, the Mars Red looks a lot more orange than on my Campaign but I think it was just the Autumn morning light.  Hot Mini sat well.  Track day spec Mk1 had an Audi 80 2-litre motor in it. I googled the plate and it was in Inspector Morse! www.imcdb.org/v120335.html That's all, an enjoyable few hours, looking forward to the next one! |

Local breakfast style meets are great, even if you go regularly and see the same cars over and over there is always one or two totally new things there and often they are surprising.
I'd still love to get a definitive "local meet" type map/thing together so someone could put in their postcode and see all that is happening in a 20 mile radius or something like that. The best way now days to get more people in to this scene is to get the cars in front of them as often as possible (preferably with some of the more accessible end of the scene being present).

100% agree and some kind of interactive map would be superb. Too often they're just small facebook pages/groups and they can be difficult to find.
