The SEF first run of the year took us down to Hampshire where we met up
with the newly formed South Coast group. The usual convoy formed below the
Dartford Crossing to head around the M25 and on to the next meeting point
of the A3 Services at Wisley. Another four cars joined the convoy
here to drive the rest of the way on the A3 to Petersfield.
A short while later we wound our way along the A272 a short distance
and pulled on to the gravel forecourt of the Seven Stars pub. Kris Ford
and the South Coast Group were already there and we parked up in a long
line in the pub car park. Twenty four MGF/TFs ,one MGB and a Hyundai were
joined by half a dozen or so Morgans who parked opposite.
Why a Hyundai - sadly because the owner, who only had the F for a month
, was using it as a courtesy car as the F had spent most of that month in
the garage and it was still there !.
We all enjoyed lunch and an MGF natter before heading out to the car
park again where boots were lifted and engines examined - it's amazing how
many different modifications you can make to an MGF !.
A fantastic record beating turn out for Kris on his inaugural South
Coast meeting. I wonder if any other new area will be able to beat this
one ?
