It started today with a visit from @Toby before we left ours to go to Newark Showground. We were there right at the start and parked just inside the gate. After a short while @Mac Romans and Lewis arrived then Bryan @Eddie Zedder came along too.

Shirl and I had a good chat with Pete and Marina who came in their lovely black Mustang which you can see it this picture at the other side of the gate. Marina has just got a Sterling Grey Z4 2.2 and was interested ion what I had done with my car in the last year. So I gave them a Z.org card and suggested they have a look on here. Another couple from Lincs.too.:thumbsup:

It was the first time we had met Mac and Lewis and Mac's totally stunning car, what a beauty!
Toby's Lotus sadly was showing a battle scar from a BMW's tow ball which hit his front bumper.

There were slightly less cars here than last time I would say but still a good turn out and good value at £2.
a couple of BMC cars, a Wolsley 1500 and an MG Midget, both looking very nice.

Near these was a Z4 on a 03 plate with a front lip spoiler, so I had a picture or two of that (food for thought).

A selection of these little Go-karts.;)

It started thinning out around 3.15 ish so we decided it was time for a steady run home.

We had a few spots of rain on the way at Collingham on the way there but that was all, the sun was scorching after that. Happy days:)

Thanks Tony great photos and I enjoyed reading your write up of your day.
 
Nice write up Tony. Your getting good at this! I think that is the Z4 I carded last month. The GT40 is a rare sight. A friend of mine got in touch through Facebook the other day asking about the meet. He's got a Ford Escort RS turbo. Could you give me the next few dates mate as he said he'd like to rum over with me. Tar!
 
Cheers mate, glad you liked them. Only 1/2 hour from us and nice to go to on a sunny afternoon.:thumbsup:

The next one has been moved from it's original date to Sept. 18th Dave, we won't be going as we're off to Fla on the 20th.Will hopefully make the Oct. meet depending on the weather by then of course.:)

Sounds like you had a good day.

Series 1 or 2 mate?
 
Sure was, most enjoyable.:thumbsup:

Tony.
 
Looks like you had a great day mate,sorry we couldn't make it :rolleyes:.
The weathers been rubbish all day here so you were lucky to have it dry and sunny :cool:.
some lovely cars there as well.

Steve
 
To be honest it did start to cloud over around 6.00 and it's peeing down right now. Looking like a good week for top down motoring though Steve.:thumbsup: Have had to apply some after sun lotion for the 2nd Sunday running to my boat race.=))

Tony

ps. Bad news is Shirl had no one to share her bottle of wine with, so it was left unopened.:)
 
Looks like I missed a nice day out Tony, thanks for the write up and pics, sorry to hear about Toby's car. :facepalm:
Done a full day in the garden today to seal the deal on the Bank Hol, :thumbsup:
Roy.:happy:
Good man, did you see my "Decals" post? Would you like me to bring you one, and fit it for you?;)

Tony.
 
As Tony said, a good way to spend a couple of hours on a sunny Sunday afternoon. Good to meet @Mac Romans and @Toby.
The only downside was the lack of Z3's.
Some pics from me.

A lonely Z3 :(
