Modern Tyres Carnban Sunday 27th July
The car meet held at Modern Tyres in Carnbane on Sunday, 27th July, saw an impressive turnout, with well over 50 cars in attendance and a great crowd of enthusiasts walking the grounds throughout the day. The atmosphere was vibrant, with a diverse range of vehicles on display, showcasing everything from modern performance machines to classic icons.
One of the standout cars was a spotless BMW E30 325i Sport sitting neatly on a set of BBS wheels – a perfect example of timeless German engineering and style. JDM fans were also well represented with not one, but two Nissan GT-Rs stealing attention. The R33 GT-R was particularly notable for its heavily modified engine bay and enormous turbo setup, while the R35 Skyline brought modern flair and performance.
Ford made a strong showing at the meet, with multiple Focus STs and RS models – both new and old – on display, many finished in the eye-catching signature orange. These were a big hit with fans of the Blue Oval.
Among the rarer highlights was a maroon SF90 Ferrari, drawing plenty of attention with its sleek lines and exotic presence. Classic car lovers were also well catered for, with a nostalgic selection that included a Toyota Supra, a clean MR2, a Mk2 Ford Fiesta, a Ford Anglia, and even a Ford RS200 – a true motorsport legend.
Rounding out the day was the return of an old favourite: a Phoenix Yellow BMW E46 M3. Always a crowd-pleaser, the car remains a symbol of BMW's performance legacy.
Overall, the meet was a huge success, bringing together a fantastic mix of cars and a friendly, enthusiastic crowd. Modern Tyres Carnbane once again proved to be a top venue for car culture in the region.
