Well, I went for it again. Braved the possible rain which never really came for a change, so that was good, as I actually chucked a bucket at the Cappa the other night to get ready for this meet... So this was arranged by the 'West London Classic Ford' guys. So I set off having had a reasonable lay in, as this was not a crack of Dawn meet and got down to the Holding area for the off to Walton Bridge itself. So here are the motors I met up with here...

There were a few more motors behind me, but for some reason I seem to have already lost these pics...

So off we set to Walton Bridge, to a filling car park and got nicely parked up all together....
As you can see, I ended up in a Cortina sandwich....
