It's the International Mini Meet at Detling showground this weekend so there's lots of lovely classic mini's driving around.
The council have very helpfully put out "Warning, slow moving traffic ahead" signs on the hill.

Glad you posted, as otherwise I would have been wondering why nearly 20 minis including one on a trailer, a Moke, and a pickup have all just run through Dover from the ferry. All on Belgian plates. One had a Union Jack on the roof.
eta: As for slow, it's now Thursday lunchtime, and they've got to do 40 miles before Saturday!

There's loads of them going past here in each directions.
Quite a few towing cut down mini trailers as well. The campsite looked like it was already filling up nicely when I drove past about an hour ago.
Seen more (on the way back to work after lunch). Looked like half a dozen on Polish plates.Quite a few towing cut down mini trailers as well. The campsite looked like it was already filling up nicely when I drove past about an hour ago.
Looks like it's going to be a Mini adventure.
Frayz, I give way to you at Latchingdon roundabout - you MUST have seen me (Red Focus) flash you as I was turning from your rear into the garage.
Also spotted a Yellow 348 Spider near Mundon - EIL 348 was the plate.
edit - corrected 308 to 348. Dopey scouse focker.

Blimey the toys were out today!!!
Joined the A130 at Rettendon this morning heading Chelmsford bound and was passed by a Black VX220 Turbo - VXT on the plate.
Almost instantly I then spotted an Orange Gallardo Spider heading back towards Rettendon.
At the A12/A130 interchange there was a stunning Orange MK1 Escort joining the traffic from Howe Green.
Heading into Chelmsford a black Mustang was "making progress" towards the A12.
Spot of the day was the Bugatti Veyron poodling along Ongar High St late morning.
