		Nipped out this evening for some fuel...and saw loads of nice cars passing me heading down to the seafront like 1 mins drive from my house....turned out there's a retro meet down there every month!   
Anyway, thought you might like some of the more interesting cars there, my camera is terrible but took a few pics anyway lol.  Also, there was a white 309 GTi but couldn't get a pic due to someone being sat in it all the time lol.     Oh, and I was the only 306 there!   
205 GTi6
  
Bwarp
  
Harry's 205 TB'd GTi6 (...ish)
  
Rat Rod
  
 
Needs a bigger turbo...
  
One for the off-roaders...
  
Mint XR2
  
 
One for Procta...   
 
And some engine bling....

		Yes! I was following that modified range rover on the way home. Made a lot of noise for not going very fast! It was that 205 gti i saw on the a14 on the way to yours as well!

		Harry car has more done since Niall, quite a bit more powerful afaik but I didn't get a chance to talk to Harry about it yesterday. 
And lol, I don't think Range Rovers are built for speed.  That white 205 GTi6 was pretty much mint tbh, I want one!

Err really? You should try going in a V8 Supercharged one. It may be the best part of 3 tonne of metal but it is still faster than a lot of things on the road.

		Don't think theres many other local members tbh. 
 
SRowell when he's not in London.  And Sam7075 is up near Bury iirc.  Used to have huge EA meets at Alton Water but most people have moved onto other marques and left the forum.

		Well I did go to this briefly, didn't see anyone else from here though!  So had to walk round like a loner again haha. 
 
Was a good turnout, lots of nice cars that I'll never be able to afford lol but I didn't bother taking any pics as light was fading.
