Festive doughnuts

What better way to end the year than with a round of doughnuts and coffee surrounded by cool old cars. We ventured up the A3 with the usual suspects to the New Maldon diner. The roads and carparks heaving with Americana.









We bumped into a few LTVers who come up for the morning. And headed across the road for some warmth.







Inside we had a quick drink and some sugary treats, but were sadly driven back out to the cold by the ridiculously load music blaring out. I understand that its a 50/60s feel to the meet with the various cars and now the dancers, but it made talking impossible!











The boys in blue turned up for a brew. How ironic, the Police going to a doughnut shop!







With it getting colder and the music louder we headed home via KFC. The end of another bumper year of camping and carshows, racing and rallying. Roll on 2015

Bikers Toy Run

Once again I found myself standing in the middle of the road on the first Sunday of December. Dr Barnados Toy Run was blessed with fine weather as the 2pm road closure drew near. Hundreds of people lined the roundabout and adjoining roads as the first tinsel clad bikers cruised past. Trikes and quads led the way.











Next it was the bikers. Fancy dress is almost compulsory with Minions a big hit this year.







































Horns honked, children cheered and sweets flew into the crowd until the last of the near 2000 machines had trundled past. Every year it seems to be bigger and better supported. Long may it continue.

Doughnuts and cars

Nine months is a long time to go between Krispy Kreme fixes! But after a summer of busy weekends we finally had a free Sunday and the weather was nice to boot. Off the A3 and into a side street, the carpark and main road outside were already full of American Muscle.











Crossing the road after a string of V8s had gone by we checked out the carpark before heading inside for a cuppa and a dozen of the sugary treats.

With a sit down and a natter with JTB and lunch on the cards we headed off. The cars slowly heading home too.
