WESTON PARK CLASSIC CAR SHOW 23-03-08

Postby jack thornton on March 23rd, 2008, 6:06 pm

Paul and i met up at the Raven Cafe on the A41/A41 for a full English at 8.15 am.
Left for Weston at 8.55 am and arrived at Weston Park entrance at 9.40 am
just 5 mins before Jim and Luke came around the corner in H73 COD led by Mandy and other half in her Turbo.

While waiting Grant came through in a red Montego 2.0SLXI which was a bargain buy at £200.

Eventually got lined up on the field at 10.15..
2 Montys,4 Metros and the most gorgeous C plate
Maestro 2.0 EFI which Paul drooled over.
Not the best turnout but given the weather forecast still good.
As it was the temp was cold but it was sunny.
Russ and Dad arrived just as i was leaving at 12.30.. I had a pressing engagement in front
of the TV to watch my team stuff the scousers. :D

Definately worth the trip out even if just to meet Mandy and Grant .. guess which one is the better looking :?
Jim, Paul and i each donated £10 to Russ' Dad towards the juice to fetch VP1.
The Metros got plenty of looks and a few queries so when we go to Ragley Hall Classic Car Show, lets have a large turnout.

Definitely a good day out. A stand had a speedway bike running so I got a sniff of methanol exhaust fumes for the first time in many years.
