As some of you know, we are holding a "Posh Car" meeting in the Medway Towns on Thursday evening, 31st July. This is a quick reminder to those who have already shown an interest in coming, and a nudge to see if anyone else is interested in coming along.
Initially the meet was to be held at the Manor Farm, at the bottom of Maidstone Road in Rainham, Kent. However, because of a lot of interest, and the promise of a lot of attendee’s the venue has been changed to The Hungry Fox in Hempstead, 2 minutes from junction 4 of the M2.
The Hungry Fox have been very generous in allowing us sole use of one entire side of their car park (it will be marked off so only we are allowed to use it). Consequently, we'd ask that when entering/exiting the Hungry Fox, while driving along side, and while in the grounds that you respect their generosity and drive SENSIBLY and CAREFULLY. I think all the people attending will adhere to this as, of course, this is a meeting of like-minded enthusiasts who take care of their cars, but I do wish to stress this important point.
All car marques are more than welcome - there is no stipulation on car type or value, so please - invite your neighbours, friends, contacts who have a genuine interest in cars. Though I do wish to reiterate, this is not a "hot hatch" meeting. Other than that, enjoy yourselves!! We hope to have a good selection of TVR, Lotus, Noble, Porsche, as well as the Minister Power Caterham 7 2.3 Duratec demo car - and we are also awaiting confirmation for some REAL exotica to join us (but - if it happens - this will be revealed on the night). Needless to say.....bring your cameras!

I'm from near there. Do you HAVE to have a posh car to attend or is it OK just to spectate??

You do NOT have to have a posh car. Anyone is welcome, the bottom line, we are just trying to get like-minded people together, who like nice cars, for a chat, the odd lemonade !!, and a laugh. The only thing which has been specified is, that it is not a hot-hatch meet of any kind. Look forward to seeing you.

Tony - well done, great turn-out!

Fine display of motor cars and even some free "entertainment" thanks to the Sainbsury's car park "burn-out boys" in their Fiestas, very amusing!

Great to see Keith (Cerbera) and Natalie (Elise) too - what a small world eh?!

Glad to see the Lotus contingent well represented and hope you guys who are doing the London to Brighton have a great day tomorrow!
