Devon & Somerset June Meet

[Stuart Davis AO - Devon Cornwall & Somerset]

Awesome turn out for the Devon and Somerset area meet this evening.

 

Having left Dartford at 15.10 I was fully expecting to be late, but I was home by 18.22, out again by 18.45 and after an enthusiastic drive over the Blackdown Hills I arrived at 19.26 to a car park full of lovely cars. In the end we had fourteen, including two Robin Hoods and Dave’s Elise. In the mix too was Matt’s insane orange 505bhp Locust, absolutely mental! 🤣

 

We had met the Somerset Kits and Classic UK chaps at Malvern and discussed getting together, so it was great to see Matt and Trevor in their matching Ali and red cars.

 

Our resident fire safety officer Gareth was in attendance with a box full of fire sticks; after the discussion on discounts on the forum we just decided it was easier to do a group buy and hand them out at tonight’s meeting to save postage. Thanks Gareth for your fine negotiation and logistics efforts!

 

Nice food and drink in the bar, then we retired outside to enjoy the weather in the beer garden.

 

We headed off a little earlier than normal to catch the last of the light; Dan Gs lights were apparently much better after an upgrade (new bulbs??), I know Jens had a fantastic drive home and I really enjoyed a fast blat back across the Blackdowns with Dan and Matt.

 

Thanks All. Next stop Powderham on 13th/14th July. 🤞🤞 for some more of this weather.

Visibility was failing on the way home, not because of losing the light but for the millions of flies decorating my windscreen 🧐
