Surrey/Berks/Hants Meet - Sunday 10 November 2019

Mr Tidy · Post by **Mr Tidy** » Sun Nov 03, 2019 8:21 pm

Well it's just a week until the next regular classic car/bike meet at the Black Swan in Ockham that takes place each month which we tag along to, for anyone who fancies an early drive out with their Z4.

Full details are The Black Swan, Old Lane, Ockham, Surrey. KT11 1NG. Phone: 01932 862364. (Old Lane is a turning off the slip-road onto the Southbound A3 just after J10 of the M25).

They open at 08.30 for breakfast, bacon rolls, tea and coffee so any time after that will be fine.

The last few months several of us have met up at Ockham Bites at the beginning of Old Lane for a coffee, bacon butty, etc. between 08.30 and 09.00 to avoid the potentially long queues at the Black Swan! That way we got to park together which works pretty well. So if anyone fancies doing the same this month I'll aim to be at Ockham Bites at 08.30 - subject to the weather because it is an outdoor venue!

If you want to turn up a bit later then just go straight to the Black Swan.

If the weather behaves I’ll probably come to this

A bit of a last minute bump, but the weather forecast is predicting it'll be dry (albeit none too warm).

I'll be at Ockham Bites by 08:30.

Great morning out with several lovely Zed's in the sunshine.

Yes, it was good to meet up with some forum members - bit I didn't get a chance to speak to the silver Coupe owner so if you read this, sorry.

I kept bumping into other people I knew! My nephew and his OH were there in his E46 Touring, 2 of my old school mates turned up in an SL500, someone who I met on another forum who lives round the corner from me had his RX7 Turbo and then I bumped into an ex-Stock Car driver I knew from when my mate used to race them!

Still, like the cars that go it's an eclectic mix!

But I did manage to speak to another E85 owner who isn't on here. He had a hardtop on (he knew about the roof motor issues) but maybe he'll join now he knows they can be relocated!

Next one will be on 8 December, but I'll post something nearer the time.

And thanks to TONYMOR for keeping the parking organised.

OK Rob, I give in!

No BMWs though. I only took these 2 because by the time the Old Skool Fords arrived my old school mates had left, and one of them had a 1966 Lagoon Blue Anglia as his first car. So I sent them to him and told him he should have stayed longer!

One of them had a Pinto engine with twin Webers, the other a twin-cam Zetec with Webers - they sounded great as they left.

Excellent, I’ve always liked Harry Potter

Actually I should probably have taken a few more photos as there were over 20 old Fords, including a MK2 Cortina (which was my 1st car).

But I just can't make sense of old Ford prices these days. Someone had an immaculate MK1 4 door Cortina GT for sale - for £20K!

Always a good meet and this one didn't disappoint. I remembered to take my camera and walked around with it over my shoulder, but forget to take any pics!
