Swindon24 reported on Friday 29 May 2026 that the meet had taken place the evening before, on the Thursday, at The Ridge Bar & Grill at Shaw Ridge Leisure Park in West Swindon.
It was organised by SamTurbs, a Swindon-based automotive content creator with a following on Facebook and YouTube, in partnership with the venue. Visitors came from across Wiltshire and vehicles arrived steadily through the evening.
What was there?
- Modified, performance and classic cars, including German saloons and Japanese imports
- Motorcycles and high-performance supercars
- Ford Mustangs from several decades, brought by the Simply Mustangs group, which drew large crowds
A static meet
Organisers said the meet was strictly static and asked people to behave responsibly and respect nearby businesses and residents. The report noted that Swindon has been dealing with unauthorised car meets linked to anti-social driving and street racing, and that Public Spaces Protection Order powers remain in force in parts of the town against dangerous driving, excessive noise and disruptive car activity.
The Ridge regularly hosts motoring events. Swindon Rod n Custom meets there on the second Thursday of each month, and more SamTurbs events were expected at the venue in the months that followed.
