New Year's Day meet @ The Phoenix Inn, Hartley Wintney

[Agent57]

Even more cars than usual there this year.

Great turn out.

An eclectic mix as ever and, although I was there fairly early (9AM), I've never seen so many people before!

Seems to be a lot of what I consider modern cars, I know they are popular but I preferred it when there was a great turn out of pre-war and vintage cars.

Looks like the first arrivals turned up just after midnight.

Is this the pub where there was that cracking video of some moron pulling out slowly in a Morgan and having a Peugeot 206 damn-near take off up the back of it? Got a good giggle out of that for a while.

No. That was a mile or so further down the A30 towards London at The White Lion (which is no longer a pub).

On Sunday I saw the white Martini liveried 918 in the local area and guessed it was for that meet

Amazed this still happens!

I work in Hartley Wintney and you hear a lot of complaining about how this clogs the A30.

Looks an awesome turnout , need to get to this one eventually!

I think the road authorities are doing more to clog up the A30 at the moment than the Phoenix New Year's day meet could ever achieve

Can only say I'm glad I retired a couple of years ago. I'd hate to be driving to and from the office with all the 'stop/go' lights on the roads at the moment.
