According to the Cheddar Gazette, about 1000 of the expected 2000 turned up, the place was solid and nowhere to park as you would expect, but very little trouble. Just the odd complaint about noise as people drove through the village to attend.

Best car i could see was a Dodge Charger classic
Lots of VW polo's and Golfs......slammed Fabia's just look odd to me

Considering you are all petrolheads you had some very negative comments about this meet. I went down I must admit with some reservation. I went to the recent Cheddar meet that was organised on here and there were more people at that meet blasting there supercars up and down the gorge than there were people being silly at this 1000+ car meet. Boys will be boys no matter how much money you have.

There was a massive selection of cars including DUB, JDM and Muscle. I will be going to the next one as well with no reservations this time. I was very impressed with the way Tom the organiser made sure he was in close contact with the gorge and the police to make sure everything ran smoothly. The only downside I could see was the litter that was left, I know its no excuse but considering the money that is charged for parking at an event like this the gorge could supply bins in the car park and there wouldn't be any issues.

I find it sad that even older more wealthy petrolheads still tarnish this younger petrolhead generation with the same brush. shame on you
