It is with great pleasure that we can announce the 10th Anniversary Krispy Kreme Hot Rod Gathering on Sunday 19th April! Yes it’s been 10 years since the first meet in beautiful downtown New Malden, (just off the A3 heading into London), so come along early, park nicely, see all your friends, eat doughnuts, drink coffee, look at the finest cars for miles around and possibly even get yours pinstriped by the legendary Nefarious himself!
Usual rules apply, so it’s 10am onwards at Krispy Kreme, Shannon Corner, New Malden, Surrey, KT3 4NA!
Might be a good idea not to be late as it’s going to be busy!!

Bright sunshine, although a little chilly, meant a huge turn out for this 10th anniversary meet. The New Malden Krispy Kreme donut shop's on the corner of a roundabout, literally underneath the A3 on the outskirts of London. Originally the rod meet was in the carpark, but as it's grown the cars have spilled out into the street, slowly spreading further & further from the original venue. It's a busy road & I'm sure the Police will eventually step in & tone it down, but for now it's great to see custom cars cruising up & down -so much more interesting than a static display. Occasional forum visitor Steve Pyle, ("65 Nova"), in his, err, '65 Chevy Nova. A Charger -awww, I used to have one of those.  Outside an empty factory unit down the road from the donut shop. I've never seen rods parked this far away before but I thought it made an interesting backdrop. |

The black roadster belongs to Ian Whittaker, one of the guys Loony & I went to Holland with. He raced the car on the sand at Pendine beach last year.
Tony Mathews, looking rather splendid in his Leopard fur drape jacket. He stepped out of his 70s Caddy looking like a Vegas crooner.

Martin Grossmith's roadster at the lights. Almost every vehicle in this snap is a custom -& the busses on the A3 flyover are vintage RouteMasters on their way to the bus show at Brooklands.
Ford Pop pick-up underneath the A3.

Don't know the girl, but Tino's a mate who ran a rod workshop in Mitcham, Surrey.

Pro Street 100e Ford Pop was cool.

Doesn't show as much in a photograph, but one side of the street was in shadow & the other in bright sunlight. Cruisin' on the sunny side of the street.
Tidy V8 Ford Consul.

There's a car meet at the Manchester branch too, but mainly the hothatch crowd apparently, not customs.
As I said, a busy street in a London borough. There are always burnouts as people leave & there's been a few close shaves. Eventually there'll be an accident here too. Never really understood the point of burnouts myself as most of the cars there can do it.
Little black 100e's possibly the cover car from this month's Custom Car magazine?

Again, haven't seen cars parked this far down the road before, so some different backdrops for a change.

As it's a Sunday morning, most of the local businesses are closed, providing handy extra parking -at least I assume these were there for the meet & not available for rental.
