Burgers, cars \u2013 and great people. It doesn\u2019t get any better than that, does it really?<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8269\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8269\" style=\"width: 150px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.totalkitcar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/news_forge.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-8269\" title=\"news_forge\" src=\"https:\/\/www.totalkitcar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/news_forge-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8269\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">When you see a stunning SDR V-Storm like this, you realise just what a clever designer, Simon Keys is. Great car.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Kicking off show proceedings, Forge had its own array of metal on parade for the impressive crowd present. Zac Miles\u2019 own immaculate cover-car Mk1 Golf took centre stage, with some of the company\u2019s on-going projects and development vehicles lurking away in the corners of the sizeable workshop.<\/p>\n<p>Marques wise, there was a veritable smorgasbord to choose from with something for every taste, pretty much. A healthy line-up of tweaked and tuned BMWs lined up alongside both air and water-cooled VWs, while pristinely prepped track cars including a Peugeot 205, Jason Gwynne\u2019s mental Mini equipped with a Vauxhall C20LET and Mark Huxley\u2019s drift weapon Celica RA28 sat happily alongside sorted Japanese metal such as Nissan Silvias and Civic Type Rs.<\/p>\n<p>The Retro crowd were also well catered for too, with Bruce Holder\u2019s body-dropped Series 1 Land Rover, A mint RS Sierra Cosworth, a juiced Datsun Sunny, Rory Hamilton\u2019s stunning BBS-equipped Mercedes W115 240D and even a stunning SDR V-Storm. In short, something for everyone!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.totalkitcar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/news-forge_2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-8270\" title=\"news-forge_2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.totalkitcar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/news-forge_2-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a>Commenting on the event, Forge MD Peter Miles said, \u201cWe\u2019re so pleased that this event turned out so well, with such a great bunch of people and such an eclectic mix of cars. Just how we like it! We\u2019re definitely going to make the Forge Brunch Club Meet an annual event, but we\u2019re also seriously considering running something a little more low-key every couple of months or so. We are all petrolheads here, so there\u2019s nothing better than a car show that comes to your own front yard, is there?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more information on Forge products, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forgemotorsport.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.forgemotorsport.co.uk<\/a> <strong>ENDS.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>As well as being known as a centre of engineering excellence, the Gloucester HQ of Forge Motorsport can now add the nomenclature of \u2018cool meet <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/2015\/06\/18\/brunch-at-the-forge\/\" title=\"BRUNCH AT THE FORGE\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":8269,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8268","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8268","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8268"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8268\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8269"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8268"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8268"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8268"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
