Last meet of 2018, and looks like it should be dry!

Corner House, 9 Wood Lane, Wrightington WN6 9SE from 8:30am...

[MDMA .]

think i'll give the Golf a little outing if it's dry not had a bacon butty for a month now!

Yep, we will be there for the last meet of the year at CH

TVR day methinks !

Great turnout....even the bacon barms ran out.

Brilliant turnout, been a few months since it was last so packed that it was impossible to leave the carpark until at least half a dozen cars had moved out of your way!!

A *Ford GT40* looked a really well put together car and a few Ferrari graced the line up, Porches and Jaguar lining up beside Minis and a Cavalier ! Half a dozen TVR , Lotus Cortina, Morgans, MG, and others, made for a really interesting three hours.

Shame about the bacon butties doing a runner ! , They were great along with coffee in what turned out to be a pretty chilly morning with weak sunshine an occasional warmer.

Next meet is New Years Day and if it's like previous years it will be packed too. !

Sounds like there were some pretty unusual and interesting motors, particularly the Ford GT40 (a replica I assume) amongst the commonly seen Morgan's, E-Types, MGBs, etc. One car I rarely ever see make a show the times I've been to this meet is a Scimitar (the GTE that is), and despite the fact they are quite a popular (and very affordable) classic (surely there must be plenty around the area) I haven't seen that many - I think 3 I've seen in total, and one was owned by the chap who lived in the big barn style house opposite the Corner House.

Yep, the GT was a replica, friend of mine has a scimitar and sometimes comes to the Corner House... Daily driver I think, too.

I believe there was a chap who came to the meet last year I heard had a couple of Scimitars (though no idea which models), though I don't think he turned up on this particular day in any of them. There's been a cream/brown GTE 6a with a cream bonnet I've sen a few times there that I've seen at other local shows, Ormskirk Motorfest etc.

Thought this was a very nice 5a I saw there a few years ago. Can't recall ever seeing it since. Thought the interior was immaculate. No doubt well looked after.

Yep, that's his and he whizzed by in the opposite direction to my route just a few days ago!

By the way the Classics at the Mill meet at St Catherines hospice near Bamber Bridge is tomorrow , Sunday...looks to be rain at the moment but it can change.!!!!
