Haynes Breakfast Club - January 2024

[HoTWire]

Well this was my first event of the year, it seemed suitable as it is very close to my house and I've got a whole lot going on so couldn't make it to Scramble.

It was pretty cold!

Let's start off with the first car I saw there, this rather lovely Porsche 912. The low level sun really played havoc with the photos btw. Damn people wandering around with their shadows, would have been lovely shots otherwise.































Hmmm posting this reminds me I've got an update to the image uploader that puts them in the order they were selected, I'll have to get that released now the forum is working properly again.

[HoTWire]

Oh scratch that I have got it in the version I'm using at the moment (November Update), it is only in Quick Reply at the moment.


Anyway this rather great looking Escort was a real treat

[HoTWire]

Let's have a quick grab bag of other goodies from around the car park

[HoTWire]

The Themed paddock was AWD, I think they were hoping to get a host of offroading stuff... they mainly ended up with a selection of Audis, a Porsche 996 or two, and some other bits. Still, made for a fun display...












THESE are the wheels I want on my Evoque (see later comment about the image uploader)








If the image uploader has behaved, I want these wheels on my Range Rover Evoque... (let's see if that makes sense when I post this (NOPE))

[HoTWire]

Okay how about this for a pair of great cars to see at your local car meet, a Berg Cup inspired Polo and a Pandem kitted E30 Touring, they also had a friend with a very nice VW Caddy, but it had people around it constantly so I didn't get a good shot.

[HoTWire]

Last couple of shots, another shot of the mini that is in a previous post, sandwiched between two Porsche things (the number plate is for the car in the first shot, if you are wondering the year of it )







I won't be able to make next months as I'll be at a car show a little bit further away, some "roadster show" or other... hopefully it'll be grand.

Yellow on a 456 is pretty out there but I don't hate it

That Triumph estate looks lovely as well, subtle twist on the usual minilites by going with splits

I've got a real soft spot for the 456, wish I could afford one. Despite being on the unloved end of the Ferrari spectrum I'd have one in a heartbeat.

Yeah totally agree, the "big" Ferraris never seem to be that popular. A lot of the 456's seem to be automatic which probably puts some off but to me they've got a bit of 355 and even a bit of later 550 styling in there, yet they cost less than even some Mondials now!

On my wishlist if the lottery numbers come in..

Are they still charging to use the car park ?

The Breakfast Club is £5 per car.

I'm not a Porsche fan but the 912 in the first few pics looks absolutely spot on in that colour

The Triumph Estate also ticks all the boxes for me

Yeah, everything about it was just right, the colour, the interior, the little details here and there. Really good stuff.

And with the matching 5 piece luggage set too!
