Cambs classic and vintage car meet & run out
Discussion
for any classic and sports car enthusiasts in the area this might be worth a look!
this event is going to be held at Buckden Marina leisure park this coming sunday (3rd of June) either in the main paddock or in/around the parking area out the front of the health club/bar. it all kicks off at eleven with the cars (all sorts of classics plus a couple of more modern cars) going for a run around the area and then they will all reassemble at the club at about 12:30. theres going to be a marquee, BBQ etc and the lock & quay bar will be open for drinks/snacks etc. hope this is of interest to some as it looks like it should be a nice day out!

well that wasn't a bad little display at all! according to the organiser they were a bit down on numbers compared to last year, but there were around 12-15 cars from the Sunbeam club including a stunning 1912 model nicknamed "the mistress", several 1920's/30's models a beautiful 1950 Healey and even an MX-5 and a 1940's flatbed lorry! and there were a few others that had turned up during the day at its peak this afternoon too.
must say cheers to the very nice chap with the Westfield Megablade who i had a chat with, F328GTS for turning up there for the second day in a row! was good to catch up with you again Nigel! the 328 looked/sounded magnificent as always and generated quite a bit of admiration from some of the other people there, sorry it wasn't a bit bigger, but its always great to see these cars being used/displayed as intended! and a big thanks to Graham and Carol for showing up in their TVR 350i and for taking me for a spin in it!![thumbup](/inc/images/thumbup.gif)
time to countdown the days to Kimbolton now!

Everytime I bump into a 308 I wonder how a big guy like Magnum PI fits . . . they are quite small.
yes, it took me a while to get comfortable when i went for a spin in Nigel's 328 a few years ago! certainly not the most comfortable experience for taller drivers/passengers! still great little cars though IMOGassing Station | Events & Meetings | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
