Midlands meet - SVX Crusade pics

First pics from the first day of the meet...

Make your own sequence of it - if you can make out the pics!

5 cars made day 1 in very sunny weather:

Me (black over 2-tone silver Jap import)
Phil and Belha (Black over Claret Jap import - with rear wheel steer!)
Angie and Phil (Black over black UK spec - but when the sun is in the right direction, it's a subtle red metallic!)
Andy (Silver UK)
Arthur (Green UK)

Age span from 91 to 96 (registered 97).

We parked up in Kenilworth Castle ruins - rather like Robin Hood meets Darth Vader! There we did some strenuous talking and swapping of info, websites and spec comparison. A bottle of wine was on offer for the 'Anorak of the day' who spotted the most differences between Jap and UK specs.

Off to Stratford on Avon for an evening dinner, with the Spot the Difference winners Phil and Belha being awarded the bottle of wine with 25 differences! Three of Andy's responses "Funny writing in the handbook", "Uk spec drivers are better looking" and "UK cars can get spares from main dealers" were discounted from the count. He wouldn't have won with them included!!


And finally, a 'knightcap' at the 'Dirty Duck' pub, a famous venue for theatre goers and 'luvvies' from the Shakespeare theatre opposite.

We are hoping for another 2 cars to join us at the National Motor Museum later this morning. There is also a BMW gathering there, so we hope to show them what a decent car looks like!!!
