Does anyone on here go to the Chatham Dockyard meet in Kent on every last Thursday of the month, there are a good amount of Retro rides these now and often something new comes along.

I think grizz is your man for Chatham. There's a couple of his picture threads floating around. |

I've been a few times, but my car's been off the road since April and don't fancy it in the Micra. I will go down again soon once I get a gearbox installed. Its okay, but get bored of the same cars in the same parking spots every month lol.

Lol you can always park out of the way where no one will see,I'm pretty sure this month was the last until next year so will hopefully be some new winter projects out by then Inc mine if I can get it painted before Christmas.
This month's meet left a lot of rubber on the tarmac as it was the last lol

It's strange what you can get to hear about, even when you live on the other side of the world ! I'm an ex Medway towns bloke myself - born in Chatham, & lived in Rainham/Gillingham most of my life, before I ran away to Oz. I was introduced to the existence of the Chatham Dockyard meet about 6 mths ago, when my wife found out about it, during a recent visit back to the folks. It looks like I may meet some of you there in the not too distant future, as we're moving back from Oz, in the next few months.

Haha, I live in rainham. Just off of the big park with the dwiming pool by the old police station.
Anyway the dockyard meets are very successful, I used to push them a lot on some other forums as I thought the word had been spread around here. Used to have flyers I used to hand out.
Cracking meet, people and cars. Would recommend it to all.
At 7:03 that's my red mk2 cooper. Sure there are some other retro riders in that clip.

I only started going around 4 months ago and go every month now, normally have a Chinese buffet in the real china before looking around and watching the burn outs at the end of the night haha
Looking forward to when it starts again next year and with a bit of luck my car will be ready by then!
maybe some of us could meet up

Yeah me too its good to see all that winter hard work finally out for all to see I found you have to get there early because its not normally a late one and as you say it can be a nightmare to park |

Love the mini its a nice looking car Thanks very much. Took the engine out for a conversion, couldn't decided, found rot and is now a long term project. Have a new one though, Vauxhall powered and will hopefully be down there for next year. I work with a chap who is very close with the organiser, I seem to remember him saying they run all year but die down in the winter months due to the lack of light and poor weather. I will ask in the morning and report back. |

Just about two minutes away from where I lived for donkeys years - Century Rd. That's where I shall be coming back to, when I return. I'll have to keep a look out for you |
