I'll be there

 

Thats hope the weather holds out, should be a good day out for the show and shine boys, any body else thinking of going....

John

 

Kev mentioned he may go down John.... all being well I may join him we shall have a talk about it later

 

Good reminder Si, I forgot all about this.

 

I wont be able to make it now ,i've a few jobs that need doing around the house and the footie is on a 4 so not enough hours in the day.

 

I do apologise John, I wasn't intending to overtake the thread about football.

I will be attending Sunday myself depending on the weather, lets hope for a good turnout.

 

In wales the ball is oval not round, by the way this thread is nothing to do with sport, its all about a good cause for those less well off than most, hope to see those who are prepared to spend thousands on there cars and also give a little to those who are less able than us.....

John

 

I dont think he ment to diss the event john we all know how important this type of event is with the money it raises for a good cause.
If I cound go then i would be more than happy to pay the entry fee.

 

Well shure was a good day, we defo missed out on not attending this one, spoke to some of the organising committee, and was told we would have been more than welcome to have a display, so I have provisionally said I would be organising a specialist performance car stand for next years event..

Here are a few pic`s of this years event, excuse the poor quality, so much to see, dont know if I got round it all..

This outfit was straight out of Mad Max, powered by a Essex V6 via a auto g/box, to a cortina rear axle..

Ps. Spoke to the owner, and yes he does sleep in the trailer, visits Southend regularly with his wife..

A Engineers dream

This one is a real work of art, its 1/8 scale of its big brother, all hand made in the owners garage..



John

 

All these steam engines are local to the area, so much going we very rarely see.



John

 

I noticed a lot of the classic cars on the M4 today heading to the event, looked a good one John.
Its a great idea to put a club stand on for next year

 

The Ford RS Owners Club stand, it has to be said there were some very nice examples here..



John

 

Hi Kev,

Due to the size of the event I thought it wise to get in early, will post pic`s up over the next few days, one big draw back with the event, I found that I recognised most of the cars/bikes there.

John

 

Now then who out there can remember the names of the drivers who had the most success in these two cars..also can you name them and which one of the cars did they drive..









This could be the begining of a quiz..

John

 

I went along for an hour or two, only took one pic for my old man coz he's got an XJS and i thought this was different

 

Dean,

Glad you made it,

Plenty of mini`s there,







John

 

A few for the 4x4 fraternity,








John

John

Kev.

Is it not sad that only the the most senior of us was able to answer the above, by the way 10/10 Kev, not sure about the spelling.

Sammy.

Know what you mean about spending, dam auto jumble, good though.

John

 

Take a closer look and tell me what you see,



Not for the faint hearted I would say




I bet it has surprised many in its time..

John

 

Spelling french names is a ruddy night mare
20 years of following the world, british and european championships + reading motoring news every week has its + points

 

John

 

I'll have the Lotus cortina please.

As my dad said its one of the best cars he ever owned by a mile.
