Classic cars forum & vehicle restoration.

[Job-Rated]

Every Wednesday evening, from last week 'til 27th October, The American Diner on Great Yarmouth seafront will play host to classic vehicles. Mainly Yanks are invited, but anything goes. They will be the only ones allowed on their car park.
21 vehicles made the first one a success & the newly revamped road system deters all the rice boys 'cos there's so many mini roundabouts!
Worth checking out if you're ever in the area.

would I get nasty vibes if I turned up in a Ford Prefect 100E?

[Job-Rated]

I believe the idea is an American theme, being a 50's diner and all. Don't let that stop you coming along - there was a Morgan type thing there last time I went.
Besides, it's more about car chat/having a few laughs/burgers & watching the fireworks.

Thanks, Job-Rated

I might park just round the corner. Be seen arriving but not be presumptious about parking.

if you can find somewhere to park now the council has re designed it all

Apparently, tonight will be the last meet where fireworks will be set off.

I'm more interested in the cars, anyway.

If talks go well with GY Police, it is hoped that the last meet on October 27th will see a section of the 'Golden Mile' cordoned off for a spot of 8th mile drag racing.

Can't wait!!

fire works should be good tonight as they have got last weeks to let off as well, shame my other half is on nights

There was a really good turnout this evening with 20+ vehicles & the fireworks were better for being twice as many.

Somehow, a Volvo 440 got onto the parking lot. Lord knows how that happened!!

That's fair enough, but it did look kinda out of place amongst the Yanks & rods...

I can see how the 240 would catch on, and the dumpy 300 series seems popular with the drifters , but the 400 series I always thought looked a bit horrid, as if the front and back had been designed by separate teams, and joined up in the middle one day..

Hi

The 340's are rarely seen on the roads are they, I used to see loads of them, but they are getting a bit rarer now, not that I would collect one! He he

I think rick may know someone that will be pleased that people are saying old volvo's are becoming wanted, he has been saying this for ages, hehe

I saw a 340 on a farm, was really far gone, and was being used as a stubble car, before being lifted into a grain wagon destined for scrap, bit of a shame really!

Cheers

Dave

hehe I'm not sure collectors will be clamouring for his old 240s, once he's finished with them. He was growing tomatoes in one I remember a while back..
