Chalgove Classic Car meet. (part 1 of 2)

For this year only: In previous years I would attend a show / rally and then post a review about the show the following weekend. However this year I have been too busy, so for this year only, I will post reviews of all the shows / rallies I attended over the summer months throughout the winter.

On Monday 5th May 2025 I attended the Chalgrove May Day Festival Classic Car Show, an event organised in memory of Matthew Marriage, and held on the recreation ground in the pretty village of Chalgrove, Oxon. I wasn't sure what to expect from this local (ish) show, but I was pleasantly surprised. The free festival included the classic car / bike show along with food stalls, and the show ground was right next to the Lamb pub where you could get some liquid refreshments. The show had a great variety of classics from American muscle cars to the best of British classic cars and numerous bikes of all ages.

Every classic car show needs some
 HUGE American motors.

Yes please.. I just love the MK3 Cortina.

Aylesbury VWOC April meet (part 2 of 2)

 The Aylesbury Volkswagen Owners Club (AVWOC) is a Facebook based club set up in 2020 for anyone owning a Volkswagen or VAG vehicle. The club has grown rapidly with over 1,300 members in just 5 years. Once a month they hold a 'Breakfast' meet at the Akeman Inn, Kingswood, near Aylesbury, Bucks. This monthly event has event has also grown in popularity and the large car park is almost always full of members vehicles, both air-cooled and water cooled. April's breakfast meet was held on Sunday 13th and as the forecast was good and I had some free time I jumped in my bus and headed over to join in the fun. The review continues as I walk round the car park, chatting to other members and taking photos.

As my blog is air-cooled based I try to keep my photos to air-cooled vehicles, so apologies to all the water cooled AVWOC members.

The blog continues as I wander around the car park looking at all the cool vehicles.

I can see my bus from here.

O.K. they are not VW's, but this pair of 
lovely Triumph motorcycles pulled up for
a look around and get some breakfast.

The Aylesbury VW Owners Club is a great club and although the club suggests that it is for people living in Aylesbury, I do believe there are members further afield. So, if you fancy being part of this free to join club, search 'Aylesbury VW Owners' on Facebook. The monthly meet is held in a great location, (although it's getting a little cramped now with so many vehicles turning up!) and all the members seem to be friendly!! Overall a fantastic way to spend a Sunday morning.
