Great meeting, superb cars and nice to get so close to them. I love the atmosphere at classic car events, people are obviously proud of their cars and love to talk about them. I enjoy talking to anyone about their car, whatever make or model.

There is so much character in these cars and as Tom says the drivers/owners/mechanics are alway happy to chat about them. Until two years ago I would attend the La vie en Bleu meeting at the end of May at Prescott Speed Hillclimb where Veyrons were mixing with T35s. Occasionally the Veyrons would do demo runs and their W16 motors would set off car alarms of vehicles parked near the track. As Prescott is Nick Mason's home track the Ten Tenths Caravan and the great man himself would sometimes be in attendance.

I've just gone over this thread and enjoyed everyone's contributions tremendously. Thanks for sharing, gents! I spent Easter in the area around The Hague, including two trips to the coast. Lots of Alfa Spiders, this was the only one I managed to capture (badly) This Healey sounded great Rare Escort Cabriolet Equally rare '87 Camry estate in less than pristine shape

Love the "Bugs" Tom - a "swarm" of them perhaps. I'm a bit concerned that the driver of the Beetle cabrio is having a snooze though.

He was enjoying the sun, Martin. Luckily the car was parked.
Very clean 181, Julio!

Great batch of photos, loads of variety. Tom, it's almost as if the cars from my race meeting photos all decamped to Holland. What a splendid group to stumble across. Today is our 'Drive It' day in the UK, the idea being to go out in your classic. Sadly no outing for my cars, the Anglia needs recommissioning and the Impala awaits the fitting of its new brake master cylinder which will hopefully cure the stopping not as quickly as I'd like problem.
