Morning all, long time and all that.... hope everyone has had a great Christmas. Thought I'd drop in and share my usual January 1st photo blast from the Phoenix Pub. As it was 3.5°C and the Campers oil was really low we decided to take the Passat (sorry to all the die-hard retro fans, but climate control and comfy ride have won me over these days) We slung the modern down a side road and aimed the pram up the A30, which was heaving with some amazing cars for a mile on both sides as well as down the middle of the dual carriageway and the carparks. Heres some highlights.... Black'n'Gold works for me  Guess the powerplant  Pair of Tinys  Just the sort of craziness you expect a 1910s people carrier, possibly Renault  Timewarp 1100  Something for the two wheeled fans  Different!  I wasn't too sure about this Capri, a rim change would probably swing it for me  Insert "Fire up the Quattro" gags from the masses  |

C Type passing through  This Dodge was huge, could have fitted the Passat in the boot I reckon!  Work in progress, but sounded great  Really nicely turned out MG  Nice to see a Healey not in red or white  View across the main carpark   Four door fun of the Alfa flavour  The dark and evil section!    |

So many neat touches on this Rod   Two tone beige and brown worked on this Pop  Variety is the spice of life  There was a really nice brown Cortina strip inspired ride going up up and down the A30, there are no pictures as I was trying to get run over by a mate at the time!  Winner of "biggest ride"  This Diamond T was another massive ride  916 made a wondrous noise belting passed  White walls and a bit of patina  I have fond memories peeling and reapplying one of these to the side window of my dads Escort Popular in 1982  Orange is the new black  |

Its held at the Phoenix Pub on A30 in Hartley Wintney just outside Basingstoke ;D There were a few AM V8s trundling round, don't remember a blue one though. I said last year that I thought I'd get to a lot less shows and meets this year, thats three so far in 11 days, with another one this month already  |
