Hi all,
Got there, pretty much a nightmare, nowhere to park lol. Left to find somewhere to eat. Anyone know of an alternative meet? If not will console ourselves with chocolate at Cadbury World lol.

Excellent day, good to meet and chat with a few members and see lots ocf great cars. Weather hot and sunny. Organisers and marshals did a great job to sort parking and "crowd control" on street.

Yep good day, got to Hopwood services about 9:20 as everyone was leaving, bite to eat then went to cofton- really busy but a few spaces left. Looked like approx 200 cars there, great weather, lots of flip paint showing off in the sun. Only took a couple of pics

We did a drive through at POL about 1pm and saw loads of great cars. Then onto David Manners in Oldbury to see some impressive MG’s before going home via a Petrol station on the A46. Went to fill up with LPG and there were 2 of us waiting for the sole LPG pump. Nice guy called Bernard driving a very tidy..........wait for it MG ZT V8 no less! Although we have both attended the nano meeting at Four Ashes in the midlands I can’t recall meeting him before. Might be due to me missing all of 2017 meets whilst ill with Cancer. No doubt I will see him at the next meet in May?
Weather was fantastic all day. At 19.30 we have just had the most horrendous downpour of rain. Good old Bighty!

Vic,
Unless it's too late

I'll be at the next Nano weekend, well probably on the Saturday the gear knob could wait till then if you were coming up to it.

That will be Bernard who is one of the nano crew,

he as always been at the nano meets when you have been there, but as you know most of us are always busy so you may not have talked to him there.

Looks like a good time was had , albeit not what was planned.
For those hoping to go to Gayden tomorrow, enjoy

Ravinder · 14th April 2018, 22:25

Had a fantastic time today! Really enjoyed it. Got up nice and early. Went for some breakfast before heading to the huge gathering outside the park and factory. The place was buzzing. Great attendance. Everyone happy and having a great time. And the weather -wow! 17 degrees and sunshine. Absolutely fantastic. Those that didn’t attend, you don’t know what you missed.
Just come back from a fantastic meal in Gaydon with some other forum members. Great day and evening in whole. Looking forward to Gaydon tomorrow.

Hi All,
Yesterday’s post was a bit cynical, my apologies. There were indeed some good looking cars there. Had a good look around and am going to try to get to the national so I get to know some faces lol. Ended up going to the Motor Museum at Gaydon, thoroughly enjoyed it, along with the street POL, it was worth the drive up from Kent!!
