And here's the slideshow
Nice one Hans.
Was a great day, and a great spot right in the middle of the action - just up from the restaurant.
Will post up some pics soon.

@Scott560 was great to see a silver Lude stalking me in my rear view mirror :D

It was great to see you guys again and meet you for the first time Scott :)

Made such a difference to last year in the miserable rain :lol: There was a huge turn out in comparison :thumbup:

Uploaded a bunch of random shots from the day - see link above.
For those that use FB, you can use it as you would Photobucket - open photo and copy image location, etc.

The Preludes from the day...

Image

Parked at the Hotel and somewhat paranoid, hence the spot picked.

On to the meet point, Totton and the Morrisons car park, 0730hrs...

Image

@NafemanNathan and his Peugeot themed Prelude, this time arriving without any breakdowns :clap: (Really epic work on the headlight/bonnet mods, proper craftmanship :10: )

Image

Image

Image

Ray, (my Dad), just checking his phone and the current year...

Image

@Scott560 and @RattyMcClelland turned up, (actually they where there before me).

Image

And on to the stand...

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Totally missed the 1st Gen, but spotted this 4th, anyone on here??

Image

Image

Image

Another 5th gen found, Sparkle Yellow Motegi...

Image

Image

Image

I joked with @NafemanNathan that his car was drawing all the youngsters, the cool crowd as it where, (though Nathan did confess that a few people had bugger all idea what car it was!), meanwhile I was drawing all the pensioners with the OEM look, hehe.

Image

Image

Image

Image

The next shot I blame @nitin_s1 for, ever since I saw his Phoenix Yellow complete with oversized Minion I've been on the look out for a proper 'mascot'...

Image

Image

And the Mario Kart theme doesn't stop there...

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Enough Nintendo, and the A8...

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Back to a Nintendo theme with a toy car lifted straight out of Mario Kart ;)

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Really good to see @NafemanNathan mods in the flesh, just brilliant work :thumbup:

Image

Image

By comparison...

Image

@Scott560

Image

Image

The Sparkle Yellow, (in mint condition), came by and joined us...

Image

I do like the Sparkle Yellow, marmite colour or universally liked?

Image

Image

Was a huge show with around 1300 cars turning up.

Image

Really enjoyed the day, and big thanks to @Sailor for sussing out such a great spot. Next year and we request Block C or Zone C, something like that.

Nice pictures. :thumbup:

I've just been looking through some older snaps.
In the years I've attended the event, we seem to have been pretty consistent, in that we've managed 10 or 12 cars every year, rain or shine.
If I've got it right, Prelude presence ranges from 3 to 6, Accords from 2 to 7. Other cars include Civics, an NSX, an Integra and 2 delightful little buzz boxes.

Shall we go for a record in 2020? We could try to book the same spot but fill up both sides of the road?

Let's hope it's not like this:-

Great pics Rich :thumbup:

It was funny the amount of people I saw walking around the back of my car looking for a badge (Which doesn't exist). They'd just shrug their shoulders and move on :lol:
