Loving this.
What's underneath BMW Z3?
I thought it was the real deal.......getmecoat

If it's a Z3 ,it's a Tribute kit ,probably.

I'd have been properly impressed if someone had rolled out £10m worth of 250 GT California for our little Surrey meet this morning :-)

It was a beautiful replica, though.

F40 isn't bad going.

Stranger things have happened.

Thanks everyone - Great day to meet some fellow PHers, see some nice metal and get a roast I haven't had to cook biggrin

Even Bella the Lab made a new friend in Byron the Staffie... Well, when she wasn't growling at him.

I still feel meets will be quite weather dependent but the next 2 or 3 months have got to be fairly safe bets.

Let's keep the pictures coming biggrin
Byron loved meeting Bella too.

Cheers for organising, and think I was the last to leave after a decent lunch smile

Love the pics of my Blue VXR8 ^^^^^^

Will teach me for not asking!

Food was surprisingly good - great couple of hours!

We'll be getting an elk milk bone biggrin

We pulled in for petrol, at a station miles from anywhere - and another 550 pulled in. What are the chances?!

I saw a red one on Hammersmith Bridge on Saturday morning - must be the same one.

I think there are only 42 RHD barchettas so very rare to see two together!

Looked like a good meet.

It looked like a great couple of hours. I'll be sure to try and make a future event. Well done Dom.

Having only got there just after 12:00 noon, judging by the photographs posted up, looks like I missed quite a few of the exotica that made it to the meet...........damn!

The F40 and the AM GT8 looked fabulous, not to mention the Porsches (as a long-term enthusiast of the marque they do appeal to me, especially the 964RS - very happy memories).

Dom, thanks for organising this..........the Illiad Clio V6 looked rather nice - didn't know who you were to track you down, and by the time I appeared after having my lunch you had left.

Will make it early next time......

We were some of the last to leave - were having lunch in the corner, at one of the tables outside with Hoofy, Mrs9 and the dog smile

I think 'peak' car was around 11:30am. With it being the first one, I'm not sure whether people knew what to expect and some had made other plans.

Maybe more people will stop for a bit longer/ lunch next time and/ or bring the husband/ wife/ kids/ dog etc biggrin

2hrs flew by for me but it was all but done by 1pm.

Good chatting to you today Tim - you need to get that croc out on track, though :-)

You're welcome to tag along with me next time I'm circuit bound...
Thanks Riyad, and likewise good chatting to you too. Enjoyed admiring the R biggrin

That'd be great if you'd give me a head's up next time you're heading to the circuit. I'm going to have to check out Bedford in the meantime biggrin

Looks like you had a very good turnout! I was on the sofa recovering from Amsterdam based festivities...

By the time I finished chatting to the owners of the Silver Cayman & 964RS it was around 13:00 hrs, and most cars had left by then.

Went inside to visit the gents, and then decided to have a beer and lunch, so sat inside. Did not emerge until well past 14:00 hrs.

Mrs was overseas last weekend, but will ask her along to the next one - I am sure she too will enjoy the venue.

Great set of pics, MikeGoodwin!

I'm pleased I could be bothered to polish my Scoob now, knowing it wouldn't be long before it tipped it down!
