I had a good time and there was a real variety of great cars but as Jono says we did basically just create our own entertainment by playing a few tunes out the van and then going into town. But it wasn't really a 'party' type meeting.

I seem to be one of the few who actively fly the flag for 80s and early 90s Citroens - Visa, AX, BX, ZX etc. They might be considered dull or un-Citroenly but I grew up with them and they are definitely my era.

I'd actually go as far as to say that DSs don't do a great deal for me, I'd have a BX 16 valve instead please. Does indeed take all sorts....

Indeed. I can totally understand enthusiasm for vehicles in the sort of 'GS' era, it's a sadly overlooked period in motoring history. Everybody was trying something new or interesting (Alfasud, GS, Allegro, Ro80, just not Ford), it was the last period before vehicles all became built to the same basic principle of fwd, transverse engine, McPherson struts etc. There's a certain sad irony in that the most desirable car from the period, or at least the most valuable, is the Escort. The most old fashioned and conventional layout around at that time. I tend to view vehicles as tools, and like any other household object unless its of particular merit or noteworthyness due to either clever or unusual design or spectacular build quality I don't get emotional about them, but I do comprehend how it's possible.
