Thornfalcon Annual Classic Car Meet |
Thornfalcon Classics' annual lunch time meeting is, the organisers believe, unique. Held in the nearby village of Hatch Beauchamp no booking is necessary and it is free of charge! The meeting begins at 11.00am and finishes 2.30pm but many people arrive earlier, some leave later. Visitors arrive from all over the south of England - a few even further. The average number of exhibits sometimes reaches the one thousand mark! It is a meeting, not a show, so your vehicle does not necessarily have to be in pristine condition. Most makes are represented, from the mainstream to the obscure including commercial vehicles and motor bikes as well as cars. Food and drink are available on-site from the village hall, also from Farthings Country Hotel and nearby Hatch Inn - or bring your own picnic. Even if it is poor weather the meeting will always go ahead, as was the case in 2008. The weather leading up to the event was appalling, even so it was not enough to deter the drivers of well over 600 vehicles - Thanks to Den Hewitt for the recommendation! |

Technoclassica 2010

Billed as "The Worlds leading vintage car trade fair", the “Technoclassica” in Essen, has been in 2009 a great place to show off activities of German Citroen car clubs to the almost 170.000 visitors. The “Citroen-Strasse”, the 20-year-old association of all clubs, presented the two big anniversaries this year on 400 sqm: 75 years of Traction were celebrated with a TA Gauloises cabriolet, a Faux Cabriolet, Commerciale, Normale and Legere. On the other half, the 90 years of Automobiles Citroen retrospective started with a chassis #189 Type A 1919, Panhard DB Le Mans cabriolet, DS19, CX Prestige, SM, and not to forget the 2CV Charleston. Why not already plan for your next trip to Germany in spring 2010, and have a look? |
