If it's sunny then quite a few hang around. As this is Mothers Day I expect some cars will leave early and some arrive later. I expect to be there from 11.30am onwards.

We wondered about your good looking tourer. Thought you had just parked there on the odd chance. We had been round to the Little Chef for lunch as the pub was only doing food for those that had booked for Mothers Day
The Mirage Blue ZT was my 'other 'car. "Blue Thunder". She is no.155 of 833 built V8's. The Purple ZR is in Caledonian supertallic. The Rover BRM is owned by the meet rep. And the Blue pug was with us as well. He normally drives a Mirage Blue ZR.
I'll get some pictures posted later today.
The next Halfway House meet is on Sunday 29th April at Noon:cool:

excellent pics, and I agree with phil on HDR effects I see that the new version of PICASA includes a hdr filter for those of us whp like the dramatic effect but too lazy to build it up individually, will put april 29th in my diary and maybe have a rundown from norh london if I not occupied with other things
