Hi all,
(Just finished this and now I realise this is very pic heavy. Get a cuppa!!! You have been warned.... )
So I was able to sneak out again today and get down to Runnymede again for the Petrol Heads Breakfast meet. Wow, what a busy one this was. I got there about 09:10, the meet having started at 09:00. I was able to get nicely parked up down at the end where it can get very busy with the direction of one of the Petrol Head stewards (Cheers if you're reading this... )
So as I say, it was so busy and just kept getting busier & busier all the time... So I'm not too sure where to start now. I know, we'll go with the Americana Cars first, there where some real crackers here I can tell you... but with a couple of others thrown in for good measure to get the ball rolling...

This was the meaning of the word HUGE!!! I had to stand well back to get all this in....

Hi John,
Great photos as usual !
That looks like a busy meet, so many cars it's impossible to choose a favourite.....or it would be if that Batmobile clone wasn't there !!
Andrew.
