Lots of cars, although think the organisers need to organise the cars a bit??
Whilst I encourage anybody to love their car and attend a car show, I thought the main front car park was normally reserved for the more exotic vehicle?? Having parked out the back I was excited to get to the front and see what juicy metal had arrived - The Mondeo owners club disappointed me somewhat.
Whilst I quite like a ST220, would it not make more sense if large clubs were put on the track together? Leaving the individual spaces at the front to show a wider range of cars?

Partially agree. Some clubs do have a habit of annexing large sections of the front car park. I'm not really wanting to be snobby about what can/can't park there, but it is irritating when you go to park up and people are standing around blocking spaces waiting for their mates to arrive in a diesel saloon.Really if you want a space out the front you have to be their either early doors, or a bit later on and hope to find a free space as others leave.
This was my first Haynes Meet and overall loved the meet. Such a wide selection of cars which is always good, from projects, classics, hot hatches, sportscars and different ones.
But I do totally agree, you could almost do with a max of 2 of some cars at the front. Like the fiat 500 Abarths or the minis. (no disrepect to either) when they arrive in a group and if they want to stay together as a group, they do so round the back. Which wouldn't be a bad thing as I spent more time wondering round there.

Yep, big turnout!

Just to bump this for Sunday (1st July 2018) https://www.haynesmotormuseum.com/whats-on/event/t...
The regular, 1st Sunday of the month, breakfast club is being held with a special event celebrating Italian style
https://www.haynesmotormuseum.com/events/celebrati...
From where I quote:
"Do you own an Italian vehicle? We are calling all owners of cars to come to the Museum from Wednesday 27th June to Sunday 8th July to help us celebrate these amazing Italian marques. As well as inviting owners and enthusiasts we are also getting our cars out of the Museum exhibits so you can get up close and ask questions about the vehicles on display in the Millennium Hall.
The celebrating does not stop there we will also have specific displays in the Museum Shop and Café 750 will have a special Italian menu which includes a light bite of Antipasti Platter, a main meal of Lasagne with garlic bread and mixed salad or Chicken Parmigiana with roasted herb potatoes and mixed salad, and dessert of Homemade Tiramisu. If that cannot tempt you then an afternoon tea with a Lemon and Olive Oil Cake. Click here to see a full menu available over the period.
Do come along and learn more about this most glamorous - and romantic - of subjects.
There will be informal daily talks* at 11.15 with the Museum Curator Matt Piper and at 14.15 with Museum Volunteers in the new display area.
“Rightly or wrongly, over the years car producing nations have tended to earn certain reputations when it comes to their automotive products: America - big and thirsty, Great Britain - sporty and traditional, France - quirky and complex and Germany - solid and reliable.
And Italy? Style of course, and lots of it. If names such as Pininfarina, Bertone, Zagato, Michelotti, Giugiaro and Vignale are not familiar to you, the shapes they have designed will be: Triumph, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Volkswagen, Maserati, Alfa Romeo, Austin and Volvo have all had car bodies designed by Italians.
What helps, of course, is that such beautiful bodies have adorned some of the most desirable, fast and expensive motorcars in history many of which we are proud to have in our collection.”
