RR Limes Cafe meet pics

[BenzBoy]

This morning me and my brother took the Bond on its first proper journey to the RR FUCEM meet at the Limes Cafe.
I'm pleased to say the car ran perfectly - it was a nervous journey but after 40 miles I'm very pleased with it.

Thanks to my fellow RR'ers for the round of applause when I walked into the cafe! Bunch of nutters. ;D

It was brass monkeys out there but I managed to fire off a few snaps:


^ Made it!!!


^ Some of the attendees


^ Goldenwonder setting the timing - the car sounded fantastic as it came flying by us on the way there!


^ The Akku-mobile complete with re-installed dash.


^ A familiar car with a W126 I'd not seen before (whose is it? I didn't see the driver!)


^ Very tidy 240


^ Nathan's Capper and Hitch's Golf


^ Nice VR6 Storm


^ Ragtop Bim - not warm enough for top-down motoring yet!


^ Caddy looking cool of Ronal Turbos


^ Loved this Chevette!


^ Golf packing more punch than standard!

A thoroughly enjoyable meet! Good to see you all there.

Enjoyed the Meet this morning but it was FREEZING!



Nice to see the fabled Bond make an appearance and thanks to Mr Donttellhimpike for my Subway ring.
Thanks for the photo of my Volvo I washed it especially! ;D

Nice pics guys.
I really need to get off my and get to another one of these.

W0000t, well done BenzBoy!

Finally youve beaten all the gremlins.

Now hurry up and get it painted so its not pus colour anymore!

[rmad]

Well done chaps!

Great time had by all! Was good to see every one and even better to hear the Bond purring away!

The weather was awful but that just means that we get a better turn out! What with Hitch's Golf 2 and the other one, I really fancy a Mk2. What was powering the other one?

The Chevette was simply lovely and would have been my car to drive home in! Drop and rims works every time!

On the way out, Toby got a look at the Capri and thought that it was AMAZING! (His words!)

It's on the A614 near Blidworth, Notts. Good greasy spoon brekkie and a carpark big enough for us and the truckers that frequent it! Usually meet the first Sunday of the month.

mine is running a 20v turbo out of a mk4 golf, not liking the wet thow wheel spin in 1st 2nd and 3d, not good when you want to get out of a junction sharpish

As uncle russ always says, "if the weathers carp, itl be packed". Well there was a few today, great meet and foods still spot on. Great to see the yellow peril as last!!! nice one dean, loads of good stuff, see you all next month fellas.


OH and royalty blessed the limes meet today in the form of our very own LORD BONER himself!!! kept looking at the nice volvo estate, but then said he'd already has an estate of his own!!!

Nice one lord alexander the volvo viking!!

[mdh]

Shame its so far away :-(

[goldenwonder]

Cracking Sunday morning out despite the weather.
Thanks to Akku & Dean, for lending me the timing light & for bringing along!

Also seems to have given my brother a mojo boost to get his Mini done & back on the road.
Looking forward to the next (& hopefully warmer) meet.
