Small car meet at Jarnac, Charente.

[Neilsfirst]

We went to a small meet today in the town square. Not massive but very varied selection.

[Neilsfirst]

It was a fine day for it. We will be seeing what other ones are like in the region. Was good to get out and away from the renovation for a while. I shall try and keep the sky out of the next set if it is blue!

[Neilsfirst]

A lot of the cars round us are daily use classics. So nice to see rather than the endless financed moderns that proliferate in the UK.

Obviously well publicised as usual! I only live 15 mins away and new nothing about it. Damn, would have loved to have gone.

Apparently it is on the 2nd Sunday of every month. We should be going again next month if you fancy meeting up.

Really? I had no idea. I will be enjoying the delights of sunny Aberdeen at that time next month alas! If it's on in Jan I will certainly pop along and meet up. Drop me a PM nearer the time if you are going and we'll sort something out. Can you just roll up in your car and join the fun or is some sort of pre booking required?

As far as we could see it was just turn up in a car and find a space. If none park on the pavement or the car park over the road.

[Neilsfirst]

It was last Sunday and I missed it too. Hopefully next month will be good weather for it.

[Neilsfirst]

Would be good. Hope for a clear sky!

[Neilsfirst]

I'll try and be a grown up then.

[Neilsfirst]

This is on this Sunday, but the weather is looking grim for it. Will send out the reminder next month if you guys are up for it.

[Neilsfirst]

Hopefully the weather will be more agreeable next month and even better in April for you Russ. Magooagain, March ok for you or coffee anytime you are over our way? Coffee offer is open to all if you are passing by, we are between Saintes and Cognac. No need to turn up with tools though!

[Neilsfirst]

Last minute warning for anyone watching this thread that tomorrow is the meet.

[Neilsfirst]

Was a fantastic day and echo magooagain in the fact that it was good to meet him and his lovely wife. Will be there again next month as long as the weather isn't too hideous. Only a few pics as my camera would not focus and with a 3 year old in tow manual focus was not the best option.

We will be there next Sunday all being well.

Same applies to me.

Who's up for the French Sunday Service at mine on the 22nd May. We are 2km's away from Brizambourg.

Our field is the one in the middle of the screen and entered safest in the middle at the right. Will be nicely mown around this to make it obvious.

Oh! I was in Brizambourg last week collecting a car! Yes up for the 22nd May if fine Neil.

Wasn't a green Fiat Coupe from the local garage was it?

[Neilsfirst]

magooagain said:

No Neil it was a Quattro estate. Tell me more about the coupe please.

Just had a look and it has gone. Was a CT failure for if I remember correctly around 3500€. Failure was due to emissions. Was also a few months back.

[Neilsfirst]

Quick reminder to all, it is this Sunday.

Just checked out where you are Neil for the 22nd and found that you are less than 30 minutes away.
Do you ever go to Saint Savinien?

Terry

Hi Terry,

We have passed through there quite a few times. The road along the river is a lovely place. Are you close to it then?

[Neilsfirst]

Another nice morning again for the car meet. Was good to meet Russ and see Mr & Mrs magooagain. A good suggestion from magooagain, if you know anyone else that would like to come to the meet at mine on the 22nd May, please feel free to pass on the invite.
