Pontiac club meet at Auto Pontiac.

[TransAmDan]

Poped up to AutoPontiac near Heathrow for coffee and Donuts. Soo many boxes of Donuts there. Had around 5 or 6 myself, others had more. lol A wet drive up, many puddles on the road pulling you in different directions. A bit dryer on the way back.
Great to catch up with people. Many couldn't make it. Not a bad turn out.

Weather terrible. Small turn out compared to last time.

 

[TransAmDan]

Weather didn't help. Many people dropped out.
Plus it was donuts this time. Last time it was BBQ with steaks, so I think that helped last time.
110miles round trip for us.

Wonder how the new Ulez will effect them and other business in the area. Glad I don't cover London anymore

Yeah they are in the new ULEZ zone from the end of this month.
So for someone to take a car there to be worked on is going to be £1250, then if the car goes out for a test drive another £12.50, then collecting is another £12.50. Its going to effect their business.
I think over 40 yeard old vehicles can apple for excemption.

For the BBQ stuff they are doing, I'm happy to pay £12.50 to be there for the day. On a Sunday if you drive before noon and after 6pm you dont need to pay either.

thought it might effect them it crazy we are in a cost of living crisis and the government do this , they still get paid their 100k plus each year,

Should I buy a car imported into the UK from Japan? | Autocar

The UK now imports thousands of CAZ-compliant, "meticulously maintained" cars from Japan

Steeling thread a it but if jap imports are Ulez free are American cars the same free?

Correct, if you are in the zone for many days you dont need to pay each day unless you drive pass the cameras. I tihnk they are dotted around many places not just on the edges of the zones.
