Looks like a fabulous gathering guys, shame to have been otherwise booked up. (a BIG birthday weekend.....you'se guys work it out).

But to see all those well known reg numbers, side by side.....Yeh! Great Stuff.
Thanks for all the commentary and pics.

The Golf is running a Hayward bridgeport RX4 style 13B. It wouldn't idle and he was blaming a blocked idle jet.
Hydraulic suspension. Had a bit of a chat with him.

The Montrose is what they call Bosozoku style. Not seen that outside of Japan.
Not everyone's cup if tea admittedly.

What a great day all round, great to finally meet up with people and see a fine collection of cars. Well done to everybody for a great turn out of awesome cars and thanks to Ian and Tool for organizing passes, sorry if we didn't speak to everybody but im absolutely shite with faces and remembering who is who.
With such a good turn out here's to hoping we can build on this and get these cars out there and in the faces of mere mortals and teach them in the ways of the black art of the rotary.
Well done everyone.

Here is some picture type stuff for y'all ...

Would be rude not to start with a TWR theme




Talbot Sunbeam, Peugeot Talbot Sunbeam, Chrysler Sunbeam or whatever A bit legendary anyway






Capri time






United Colors of Benetton






Not the most popular Mustang apparently, some sort of duff bodykit? (I really must listen when Nik is explaining these things)


Really pretty little Imp ... the super one too






Nice Jetta. Always under rated here I think




This pair must be fairly high maintenance








Iconic






Can you tell what is is yet?




And there were some of these too








Some matte action


Trying to be all arty and reflective


I love this 'lil dude. Thanks to Adam and his dad for bringing him along I must get my act together and find one!


This is Ian's Elford. It's such a different look without the blue box on top. Me likey a whole lot


Lonely left hooker RX8 on disabled duty




Things I didn't expect to see






And ending on a Mellow Yellow note


What an excellent day out. Kudos to Ian and Tool for the organisation and to everyone who made the stand look rather special with rotary goodness

That Golf is sooooo sick! I want it!

Red Mustang is LX version, its cheaper than GT.

Ian´s Elford is just stunning!

Some great pics there, Dave. Fox body "mustang" is essentially a Ford Taurus in a fat suit, disgusting, horrid and never deserved to wear a Mustang badge. Barely had enough grunt to get out of its own way. And to put it into some kind of "cultural" frame of reference, Vanilla Ice had a white convertible one...

By the way, where did you vanish to? One minute we were staggering up the hill, the next you'd disappeared using ninja stealth skills, never to be seen again
