Not long back. Another excellent Kimbolton Country Fayre and A2OC social.
It was great to be out again with team A2OC, regulars, parents of regulars and new faces alike. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and our time in such great company.
The array of A2s and overall numbers did the club credit. Condition, spec, power-plant, all unimportant, each car has its own story and each owner a bond with their car. inclusivity, family and community spirit in abundance.
The A2 is certainly a modern classic, the only thing that does it a disservice amongst those not in the know, is simply how modern in design it looks to this day. In this area and many others the design has more than stood the test of time. An encouraging conversation was had with a mark one Golf GTI owner though. He was telling Dave and I how many years ago people were critical of him and his wife taking their now 20 year owned GTI to classic shows, saying "it isn't a classic". A moment to savour and context perfect to the A2.
Thanks to Mike and Yvonne for organising this one again and to everyone that made the weekend extra special.
