Hi all,
Well another weekend and another breakfast meet. Thankfully the Petrol Heads have this meet back on at Runnymede, after cancelling last Months thanks to idiots leaving like, well idiots!!! Plenty of footage on YouTube of these…. Anyway, enough of this, so a nice early start this morning and I was there quite early, or so I thought, but there were a few already in, so let’s start off with this.

So now I’ve cracked off with the Capri’s, lets stick with a few more…. Here’s a really nice Laser…

So then I decided to go and get a coffee, as it was still early and cars where still arriving, so I wandered onto the Cafe, I got my Coffee and wandered back out to see this looking straight back at me….. I somehow wandered straight past this….
20220424_092301 by jon taylor, on Flickr
Absolutely stunning….
20220424_092318 by jon taylor, on Flickr
So onto this really honest 1.6 L, my first Cappa was one of these in Red and no where near as many extras…
20220424_092718 by jon taylor, on Flickr
Then I spotted this beauty pulling in….

Then a brilliant Laser. I’m starting to like these MKII Grills on the MKIII…… Humm!!!

Followed by another cracking Laser… Ops, same one from earlier, sorry!!!

20220424_105943 by jon taylor, on Flickr
Then as I thought this was all for the Cappa’s, I saw this one pulling in!!! What a stunner, all the way from Germany???

20220424_101249 by jon taylor, on Flickr
So that’s all the Capri’s I saw while I was there. BUT!!! More to come at the end of this…. So lets stick with the Fords for now and what about this one…. Sounded the Dogs did this…
20220424_113227 by jon taylor, on Flickr
Got to love a Granny!!!
20220424_110145 by jon taylor, on Flickr
20220424_093211 by jon taylor, on Flickr
And a Fast Ford….
20220424_103011 by jon taylor, on Flickr
There where also some stunning Escorts out to play today too….
20220424_091730 by jon taylor, on Flickr
From the Fox & Pheasant the other week…
20220424_095256 by jon taylor, on Flickr

20220424_095332 by jon taylor, on Flickr
20220424_095303 by jon taylor, on Flickr

20220424_095256 by jon taylor, on Flickr

20220424_095228 by jon taylor, on Flickr
And the final Escort….
20220424_120127 by jon taylor, on Flickr
I always like the MKIII Cortina’s, this sounds the boll0cks too…
20220424_093848 by jon taylor, on Flickr
Back to the beginning of the Cortina’s now…
20220424_093144 by jon taylor, on Flickr
Next ones…
20220424_091648 by jon taylor, on Flickr
These do look good on the Minilites…
20220424_091722 by jon taylor, on Flickr
A couple of nice Fiesta’s…
20220424_095731 by jon taylor, on Flickr
20220424_095634 by jon taylor, on Flickr
So the Estates then…
20220424_091907 by jon taylor, on Flickr
So how about a different Resto-Mod then….
20220424_113326 by jon taylor, on Flickr
20220424_113339 by jon taylor, on Flickr
So while we’re on the ‘modification’ page. How about this!!! What is it??? A Frankenstein car, or a Spitstein, or a Franken-Fire??? Your guess is as good as mine, but what a cracker!!!

20220424_110030 by jon taylor, on Flickr
20220424_100328 by jon taylor, on Flickr
So while on these ‘Modified’ motors, how’s this Beetle then???
20220424_095841 by jon taylor, on Flickr
Maybe a tad uncomfortable….
20220424_095851 by jon taylor, on Flickr
But here’s why you need those seats…
20220424_095901 by jon taylor, on Flickr
I believe a Scooby STi…….?????
So while we’re on the Fast rear engine cars, how’s about a few Porsches??? This was very nice…
20220424_095812 by jon taylor, on Flickr
Got to love the old Targa’s with the Coffee table sticking out the back…
20220424_113009 by jon taylor, on Flickr
20220424_112955 by jon taylor, on Flickr
Another coffee table….
20220424_112739 by jon taylor, on Flickr
20220424_112751 by jon taylor, on Flickr
No coffee table, but tons of room inside….
20220424_094351 by jon taylor, on Flickr
20220424_094421 by jon taylor, on Flickr
Love the wire basket centre console….
More motors hanging out the back… Perhaps not quite as fast, but double the fun I recon???

Another great Pick Up….
20220424_120200 by jon taylor, on Flickr
Still got to love these, even though they did help with the demise of the Capri…. (at the time!!!)
20220424_110112 by jon taylor, on Flickr
And a MKI
20220424_113233 by jon taylor, on Flickr
Here’s a pic I was laughing at as I took it… Could you get anything bigger, nest to anything smaller???
20220424_094638 by jon taylor, on Flickr
Lovely little motor…
20220424_112846 by jon taylor, on Flickr
Next to something a little more extreme….
20220424_112843 by jon taylor, on Flickr
A Lister XJS…
20220424_094645 by jon taylor, on Flickr
Let's go a bit random now…. So how about a nice Volvo???
20220424_113235 by jon taylor, on Flickr
Or a Pink Cadillac…
20220424_111544 by jon taylor, on Flickr
Complete with Skull splitter up front!!!
20220424_111552 by jon taylor, on Flickr
Or a very well sorted TR4a
20220424_110132 by jon taylor, on Flickr
And keeping with the TR’s… A cracking 6…
20220424_091805 by jon taylor, on Flickr
And another Triumph….
20220424_091843 by jon taylor, on Flickr
Or a nice old MG????
20220424_093344 by jon taylor, on Flickr
And a view from the cockpit….
20220424_093413 by jon taylor, on Flickr
Just keeping with the Brits a little longer….. Another MG…
20220424_092754 by jon taylor, on Flickr
Or a nice Jag and TVR.
20220424_092804 by jon taylor, on Flickr
Lets stick with the TVR’s for a couple then… This old Griffith was stunning…
20220424_093534 by jon taylor, on Flickr
20220424_093551 by jon taylor, on Flickr
I’ve lost my other TVR pics, so lets stick with the Open Top Brit…
20220424_095312 by jon taylor, on Flickr
And onto the Mini’s… A very nice nearly standard car…
20220424_103127 by jon taylor, on Flickr
20220424_095123 by jon taylor, on Flickr
And not so standard…
20220424_095112 by jon taylor, on Flickr
Another pic here which had me smiling… Do you ever see a car and think to yourself, Humm, too much wing…..
20220424_093645 by jon taylor, on Flickr
One of the stars of the meet for me this one. A very tidy Audi Quattro Ur…
20220424_094815 by jon taylor, on Flickr
20220424_101008 by jon taylor, on Flickr
OK then, Americana time… This is a cracker to kick this section off….
20220424_112916 by jon taylor, on Flickr
This has some of the ‘Best’ flame work I’ve seen!!!! I hope the pics show it….???
20220424_112659 by jon taylor, on Flickr
Very nice…
20220424_095052 by jon taylor, on Flickr
These are big bruisers still…
20220424_093133 by jon taylor, on Flickr
No Americana section is complete without the Mustang’s….

20220424_091508 by jon taylor, on Flickr
Phew, I’m getting writers cramp…. I’ll have to end this soon now. But first, a couple of customs….
I love this and what a colour!!!
20220424_094615 by jon taylor, on Flickr
And an orange one. I need to see if I can find the pic of the exhaust exit under the car… It really was something else…
20220424_094721 by jon taylor, on Flickr
Found it, unfortunately this does not show it in all its glory!!! This was a pice of Art…
20220424_094745 by jon taylor, on Flickr
And the last Rod…..
20220424_113347 by jon taylor, on Flickr
So as I said at the beginning. A few more of the Capri’s then. I got chatting with Shaun (Sorry if I’ve misspelt your name if your reading this…) And once a few cars had left, due to the fun and games with the Exit, we put our cars together, so 1 became 2….
20220424_114252 by jon taylor, on Flickr
Then 2 became 3…..
20220424_115427 by jon taylor, on Flickr
This was a stunner, all done over the last 2 years through COnVID….. Original Ford X Pack and wheels, the lot…. Amazing!!!!
20220424_115519 by jon taylor, on Flickr
20220424_120154 by jon taylor, on Flickr
Well, this was my Sunday morning… A great break away from things and really enjoyed this one, get chatting with people too!!! I hope you all enjoy looking through these pics!!! Cheers for now all,
John…

Hi John,
It looks like you had a good morning at that meet, and thanks for uploading so many amazing photos.
I'm guessing that Spitfire has something more tasty than the standard engine under the bonnet?
Andrew.

Hey John.
Stunning selection of photos mate. This really looks a cracking breakfast meet and on nice clean grass and concrete. None of that dusty dirt track shit !!! Looks very well organised does this and a good plot of land too.
What a great array of classics mate. Some beautiful motors. I love the modified ones too.. The owners really do make remarkable jobs of these. Love that Yellow Escort Mk2 Estate. What a motor. Gorgeous ! What a showing of Capris too John, especially the Pintos. I agree about the mk2 grills. They do look very nice. Glad you had a great morning and what weather you had too.
Ps That lacquer red 2.8i Special looks rather lovely too...
