Convoy to Duxford car & plane show (Pic heavy!)

[Medic-one]

The Imperial War Museum in Duxford had a big event today, called "Spitfires, Merlins and Motors" which basically was a day full of sports- and classic cars, and loads of planes.

Decided to go there with a few mates, and met up locally before heading to a breakfast place in a little village, where we met up with more people, and then it was of in convoy via loads of twisty B roads to the actual event.

Really good fun, i'd not taken the Clio out on any hoons and definately enjoyed it, they're just made for the little B roads aren't they! :race:

Five of us left at 06:30 this morning (empty roads!) :

Very much enjoyed sitting behind my mate in his 360 with very loud custom exhaust most of the way! I need to win the lottery and buy one!

Arrived at breakfast location and had a bite to eat whilst watching more and more cars turning up :

And then pack leader turns up, in an F50!! :hail:

And off we go :race:

Arrived at the Imperial War museum and parked up together :

And a couple pics of th event and the other cars and planes (though planes aren't really my thing, i mainly went for the drive up there) :

Great day all in all!

A couple cars had Gopro's attached to their roof, so hopefully a video like this will be online soon as well, featuring my little 182

Looks like an absolute stonker of a meet, great pics and cars.

 

[Medic-one]

Cheers! Very enjoyable day indeed, and I have to say, my new little182 didn't disappoint on his first outing playing with the big boys.

That would certainly explain why a Dakota flew over the park where I walk the dog this morning,
probably on it's way to this thing after refuelling at Bagington.

 

[Pacman.]

That was my mate in his DC3

 

[DaveDreads]

Ha mental!

If its on next year, I will be attending this.

Gutted I wasn't there for the close ups of the aircraft.

Great photo's but the clio looks a bit out of place

Yea I'll have to agree with that, though quite a few people where still interested in it, asking questions and having a look in/around it, especially after the first half of the trip during our little pit stop.

A few people who were behind me said they were well impressed with the handling and the how early I could put power back on in the bends.

Three guys there (355 spider owner, cobra and megane) also own 182's.

Great pics and selection of all

Does a chap named Mark own the Atom? I recognise the plate.

My mate said to me last night there had been some very nice cars in Finchingfield today.

Looks like a brilliant meet, with a nice mix of cars between you guys.

 

[Paul.M]

Looks like a brilliant turn out that, awesome.

 

[George@RTR_Parts]

Great collection of cars there :approve:

The Black impreza, is that is it Frayz who owns that?

 

[Rob R26r]

Good to meet you mate. Nice write up and pictures. Clio didn't look out of place at all. That's the good thing about these meets you get a nice varied selection of cars.

The Black impreza, is that is it Frayz who owns that?

Yes it is mate a.k.a "The Bomber".

 

[McGherkin]

Yes it is mate a.k.a "The Bomber".

Serious love for that car. Everything's so well done on it.

Ah, that thing is stupid fast.
