Nicola and I drove up today to meet with one RMad from this here parish.
LHD 16E from the readers rides had invited him and any other commers.
Ostensibly to hand over some goodies for Seth and Kevfromwales.
Good to see you Simon.
Fortunately there were some Retro's in the carpark of the pub we met in..... hmmmmmm ?
Ford Cortinas, and a solitary Mk 1 Fiesta driven by a man who looked like a boy ;D
Anyway, goodies traded etc, I took some pics and then Nicola and I went in for a bite to eat.... yummm.
Rmad and I did discuss briefly the prospect of using the place as a get together spot for Retro Rides people in 2009.
I would say it is safe, clean and most importantly, they welcome car clubs etc..... having the Corvette club and several others using the pub and grounds as gathering place.
Dartford is also conveniently close to the M25 at J1 a .
Here are the pics, some juicy pics.
From the other side
Rmad's "Take home" choice.
Seen from the other side..... Just look what a bit of detailing and dropping can do for your ride.
Grizz's "Take home" choice. (Sorry, many pics, but loved this one)
Ms Grizz's "Take home" choice. She cheated, as she also wanted Lotus Corty, featured later.
LHD 16E 's ride, a beautifull car with loads of immaculate details, like all the engine bay stickers new etc.... A car worthy of any show or display.
My only attempt at an Arty shot today..... photo MOJO was a bit low n slow.
More arty-ish.
Details, when the devil is in the detail.... pretty much perfect wheels.
Look at that, Rmad got decent pics of the manifold as well.... ooooffff !!
Smoothies, wide steels , Ms Grizz's 2nd "Take home " choice.
And Engine and bay to go with it....
Bullet rearview mirrors, so period, so right.
Thats all folks....
How about doing a get together there some time this year, if Rmad is up for it ??
