Hiya,
Firstly, welcome! Sorry I couldn't be at the MK meet last weekend (it's 10 minutes away from where I live at the moment). My clutch has gone on my MR2 and it didn't seem right turning up on a bicycle! Normally there's a couple of Mk1 owners there who group togther, but you're right, the Mk2 people do seem to discuss different topics! As Kate said, revisions and spoilers rather than rust and handling.

Due to the sheer number of Mk2s and Mk3s compared to MK1s still on the road, it's sadly inevitable that these shared meets will have Mk1s in the minority. We did used to have a Mk1 club only meet in the region (this is going back a few years!) but interest waned, and the organiser left and the meets kinda disappeared. If I have a working car and time, I'd be up for a Mk1 only meet again. However, this year I've put all rallys/shows/meets on hold due to Uni commitments (basically I don't have weekends at the moment).

If/When I move back to my parents in Maidenhead, I'd be up for a regular meet then and Aylesbury/High Wycombe would be fine. (They're not too difficult now really) I used to commute through Princes Risborough a few years back, so know the region well and know some really nice roads we could do a drive on.

However, right now meets are a no-go for me, sadly. Mid-week or weekend, just not possible... Will definitely try in the future though!
