An informal gathering of interesting stuff with wheels. Last Thursday of the month at the Red Lion pub in Shobrooke.


Description
An informal gathering of interesting two, three and four wheeled vehicles. Pretty much anything goes; from old to new, concours to rat, all are welcome. Only owner enthusiasm is a non-negotiable essential! The fun starts from about 7pm
Shobrooke,
Crediton,

Devon.

Car meets can't get much closer than that - looking forward to this already! First one on the 27th June?

I'd be up for these as I only live near Cowley Bridge, but work in Plymouth (often late) and tend to stay down there in the week.

A Friday would be good for me (I can take the scenic route home - Plym - Horrabridge - Harford Bridge - Okehampton - North Tawton - Bow - Crediton :-), or a weekend meet.

I might pop across in the Skoda if there's a few PH'ers going. Crediton isn't a million miles from Exmouth.

Is this still going ahead?

I have got Friday off to put a patio in a skip, so will head up Thursday evening.

If it rains I'll bring the soft top, otherwise something else smile

I'm still tempted. Could do with giving the Skoda a run out as it's not had a decent run for a while. Just short 1 mile drives to work frown

Not sure - not heard from the OP since. Not looking good for me now - I don't get much I can't work around somehow on weekdays but we'll be doing silage on the farm tommorow now.

LoL. You would have to pick the one evening this month when I'm in Sheffield, not Plymouth. Have a good one.

Be silly not to given the spell of dry weather we're currently having, and the longer daylight too.

Sorry! biggrin I had not seen it coming. I thought the forecast was very settled and dry for the next week or so! I also got soaked, but have at least just sold the car I was trying to sell earlier.

Well done - worth staying home for then!

Nice little do tonight. I had no idea what to expect - they've been meeting regularly for over a year. Park in the car park for a natter then grub in the pub. Apparently it's been mainly classics and older but three modern Italian cars mixed it up a bit this evening.

Bugger, also just spotted this. Well up for making it next time. Gave the FF a wave at Cowley the other day. I was in the blue Mk1 MX5. smile

If and when this happens again, think I'll bring the 924 not the Skoda then.
