I echo the sentiments of everyone else, it was a quality weekend.
It was our first time camping and we'll definately be doing it again 
Was really cool to meet folks, plenty of good conversing and ideas bantered about.
My pics...
We had a bit of a long drive home. The ignition advance unit packed up around coventry and we broke down a couple more times (once outside mallory park ;D) we ended up cruising home at 40 on the back roads with a 3k idle and masses of pinking over 5k :-/
It'l be fixed tomorrow though

The somerset was given to the ScaryOldCortina 10weeks ago as an absolute basket-case. He umm'd and arr'd about what to do with it before deciding to build something unique and unusual. Everything has been reused, the engine is original, the body is the original body just choped about with

Sorry fella, maybe it's just me.
I see cars in your post that were commonplace as I grew up & I think maybe it frightened me a little to think I'd aged so darn quickly.

Your not old, its just that the cars aint aging well
But seriously, I don't know how old you are (or aren't) but the majority of the cars were what i'd call 'retro'.
Obviously this place is all about the 'classic' tin 
Its a fine line, that'l I'l endevour not to cross
