As it's local I'll try and come along - probably bring the F40 or 488
As much as I'd love to see a 488... the F40 is my favourite car of all time and that would be amazing to see!

Looks like the rain is staying away until 4pm, according to my phone so we should be in for some nice, dry grass!

Sorry, but I'm doing the rain dance thing as I planted a load of grass seed yesterday. #firstworldproblems

You can have rain... just not until later this afternoon!

Just passed a GT4 and GT3RS after giving the Clio V6 a blast at the Shell jet wash. Looks like there should be a good turn out!

These are the skies on Oxshott Heath, looking towards the Fairmile:

I polished the car last night, which is basically asking for rain - but not today!

Leaving soon, will bring my camera too. biggrin

Perhaps a bit windy for a drone but it would be great to get some pics up here!

Mrs9 is just applying the war paint and then we'll head over. Wanted to get there a touch before you guys so I know it's all set up (they have the kettle on).

Clouded over a bit now but still warm and bright!

Thanks Jon and everyone who attended!

We're just home after a roast and I think there were only a handful of cars left.

Was a great turnout and must have been ~35 cars or so at peak. Think a few had left by the time the drone was launched.

Great to have Traxx's F40 in attendance and a nice, diverse selection of cars. Loving the Escort van there, at the end and V10 Ram.

The weather gods smiled on us, which helped, no doubt and thanks to the Caterham owner for giving some kids a run round the field - Very kind!

Definitely worth making this a monthly event (at least through summer) based on today smile

Get your pics up as it's good publicity for the next one!!

Don't want to be picky......but it's a Westfield!!! Always love entertaining the kids! biggrin

Perfect location, great mix of cars and people, ...the only problem you will have is too many cars turning up which was an issue with the last few Surrey meets especially at the Grasshopper....This was the perfect amount IMO?

Look forward to the next one...Thanks Dom.

Very kind of you, even if it was ooooooonly a Westie wink

I think that was about the right amount of cars, maybe one more row could have worked.

Food was also surprisingly good (I'd never eaten there)!

Thanks for bringing the F40!

If you want to roll it down Steels Lane one weekend, i'll make you a cup of tea!

And thank you for bringing that manly hunk of gold!

I didn't take any pics other than:

biggrin

It's more uncomfortable and petrolhead-friendly than you'd think thanks to a half empty hydragas system and stiff pedals because the previous owner let it sit for a year.
