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.
