Boxing Day meet

[jimboy2]

Is Wickham square still seemed to be the best one? Never been before but hear parking can be a bh.

Any others recommended in the Waterlooville area?

In my eyes wickham square is not as good as a few years ago, it used to be a good range of classics, military, motorbikes and kit cars.

These days half of the square will be Saxos with big exhausts and sound systems.

Romsey is good but only vintage cars, there is a meet near aldershot at a pub that my mind has forgotten that I've seen recommended on here a few times.

That's what I thought.

Have heard of one going at port silent too.

The one at port Solent on Boxing Day is American and classics, and they also have a New Year's Eve meet which is open to American, classics and supercars.

Great show in Romsey Boxing Day, pre 1976 and pre 86 for Hot Rods always some lovely cars and bikes http://www.romsey-classiccarandbikemeet.co.uk/

Held in the middle of the town using several car parks, very very popular Last years piccies https://www.flickr.com/photos/137205637@N08/

Its a great show & for prostate cancer so make sure you have some change for the collections

If you go get there early, starts officially I think at 9 but last year was chocker by then.

Hard to park, we left our car at Waitrose & walked in, not far & Waitrose is shut boxing day http://www.waitrose.com/bf_home/bf/671.html

Took a trip to Wickham square this morning and then on to the Port silent American meet.

Won't bother with Wickham again. Absolutely ram packed with no where to park. Now I was expecting it to be difficult to find somewhere to park but is there really a need for 5 (probably exaggerating) food stalls? Oh well won't go again. Port silent was pretty good tho

Romsey was a great meet, hi lite for me was a 61 Renault Dauphine that had squired a renu 5 Turbo engine , bonkers but must be such a hoot to drive, loads of mustangs , corvettes etc
