Usual format for the monthly St Neots car meet, Sunday August 13th

So, usual 10am-12pm affair, PE19 7SA, the Ambiance Cafe by the Riverside in St Neots, coffee and cars format, all welcome.

Also, for those of you who actually read this part ... I'm going to step down as organiser after this one, due to "personal circumstances". I'll still attend the odd meet but that's all I'd like to do. So, would someone else like to assume the position, so to speak? It really doesn't involve anything other than posting this up once a month and going and saying hello to new folk when they turn up. Any takers?

Nooooo!, what about the weather? How can anyone replace your weather predictions? bowWe are not worthybow
I can hear it now - "Hmm, your choice of weather is never as good as Matt's was..."

On a more serious note, many thanks for all the great Sunday mornings I've attended.
It's been a joy to attend each one and I'm sure every attendee would agree with me 100% clap
Hope to bump into you here and there when you grace the meet with glorious sunshine.

Cheers beer

I'll head along as per usual smile

Sorry to hear your stepping down Matt. You've done a fine job skippering these meets over the past few years or so I must say. thumbup

Hi all,

Would anyone mind if I came along with my camera gear and snapped some shots of your cars? (I can remove reg numbers if requested) Plus I'd like to talk to some of you for any stories about your ownership or past car histories if that's ok?

I'm getting my blog off the ground, started with historical treaties on the Issigonis Lightweight Special and a Jaguar XK 120, and I'm covering tips on photography with a skew towards sports events.

Besides I only live down the road from the park, so would be rude not to.

Cheers

Andy

AndySuperSport, It'd be great to have you along. Everybody is welcome here, it's a very friendly static meet. Look forward to seeing you there - assuming my VXR8 doesn't have another oil pump disaster.

Yep please do come back, Forthright James always takes lots of pics but I've never heard of a PH'er who didn't like having their car photographed.

Excellent, cheers guys - perhaps if we can have an area where we can move cars to be on their own for feature shots? Lets play it by ear and see what the car park is like on the day.

I'll see about fetching the MX-5 along

Great meet up, and lovely weather for it. Thanks to all who let me shove the camera inside the car - got some cracking shots, just processing them now.

[Edit]

And now the photos are up : https://goo.gl/photos/TUx8qYfcyu6TVzuQ7

If anyone wants their reg removing, please just let me know.

Wow! Awesome set of pics Andy - thanks for sharing them. Almost make my car look half decent (black VXR8)!
Was a very quiet meet compared to usual IMO but still some new vehicles appeared so no regrets. Also got to see lots of Rods on the way up & the insane GT2 on the way home from the meet (see my post in Herts, Beds, Bucks & Cambs Spotted)

Good to chat to a few of you. Nice little meet.

I was in the Toxic Green Elise.

Didn't got chance to chat to everyone, even though I was trying to find the owner of the other White Elise.

Cheers

Matt

Cheers :-) Black cars in sunlight are always tricky, blows out the exposure, so an overcast day is better for those I find. We'll see what turns up next time!
