Windsor concours d'elegance

Funny the places an 11 year old Renault Clio can get you...

Thanks to Nick Trott for the initial post, and thanks to Octane magazine for the passes and for adding probably the most useless and heinously addictive car ever built to a long list of useless, hopelessly impractical and heinously expensive wonder-cars the likes of which I'll probably never see assembled in the same place again.

Initially we met at Kensington palace which was followed by a quick squirt between Kensington and Windsor. EB110, F1, XJ220... Following a Murcielago and a DB9 Volante (keeping well within the well advertised speed limits throughout I hasten to add) through the streets of west London was a bit memorable... The cars on show were utterly spectacular. A disgusting display of opulence that would make many people vomit with such ferocity they'd dislocate their own pelvis, unfortunately cars are my weakness so I'm willing to put aside moral qualms and bask in the glory of a billion quid's worth of metal (possibly an exaggeration).

Here's some (cack iPhone) pictures! My dad took some far superior ones with his DSLR but I want to keep them in reserve in case you want a Lamborghini Diablo next to LP51 for the calendar ;) ?

Haha.... Awesome!! Would have loved to seen all those amazing cars :)

This is exactly the sort of thing the v6 should, and needs to be involved in. :) Thanks for sharing the pics!

Car is looking as good as ever ;)

Chelsea car show next year anyone? ;)

This! If there's one way of whopping prices up it this way. This sort of thing will amplify the uniqueness of what the Clio V6 is. Things Porsche, Ferrari, etc etc, just don't really have. Many people walking around those places seem to think they are one offs. Its only when a bunch of us get together they realise what they are.
 
Excellent stuff. Great pictures too.

The Vee is certainly heading in the right direction now..............so let's keep it up.

I feel 2013 will be a year of trying new venues and car shows. Even more noticeable to many, with the absence of FCS from the calendar. [cmilie=iconcheers.gif]

Straight swap FCS -> Silverstone Classic? When are the shows being decided?

Too long until the next meet... I've not seen a :primer: for months :(

ps: fanx all!
 
Silverstone Classic instead of FCS is what I was planning.. :)

The next meet is next weekend in France! Lol.. No silver ph1 on our list yet ;)
The following meet from then is, what would usually be the Hever meet. However, this year we plan to go to somewhere different instead. Watch this space... Meet will be early mid October. :)

Sad I cannot make it to France...but look forward to the Hever-replacement meet. Hever was fun last year, especially the blast after lunch,.......but no Vee this year though :s
