	Today we got rid of the rugrats for a couple of hours, so we went to the Bopeep Hillclimb. Photos aren't great and my car identity knowledge isnt wonderful so if I'm wrong, go easy on me. First had a look around the pit area, there really is something for everyone here. 56 Chevy Ginetta? Little lotus and lenham midget? D type In fact you do the identities.... before I make a booboo:D I really liked this. Yep, this went up the hill Anglia pickup! Now a wander over to the start line....in a min, ive got to play stickle bricks first...

	This rather silently wafted off Once that lot of cars went up the hill there is a bus to take you up to the top, but you can pretty much stand where you like, so some good vantage points are along the way.

	Where is this? Looks like a good diverse bunch of cars there with mega buck classics like the D Type (if it's the real thing?) mixing with home built customs. The Vauxhall PB Cresta is a my pick of the bunch so far.

	The driver of this was really wringing its neck - The driver was wearing a crash helmet, his small son wasn't, obviously a sacrificial passenger.

	Gahhhhh... how is it I miss this every damn year? Great pics, thanks. I do love that RX-7, it's like my one's twin, Elford bumper and everything. Only not bent

	Have to admit the RX-7 is on my ever growing list (and has been for a while now). So up the hill we go. The inside of a bus. So we find a nice view point and a sheep wibblepoo free zone and set up camp, only for it to start raining. Mrs Elky didn't moan about getting wet, I think she enjoyed having a couple of hours without dealing with nappies/dribble/sick/screaming/fighting etc.. The lotus was trying and got a little out of shape just after my photo The Ital was going well Sorry for the lack of commentary but I don't really do words. With my waterproof coat not actually being very waterproof we got the next bus back down to get some grub.

	The Ital is nearly lifting a front wheel. Must be putting it to go too. Does the Anglia pickup belong to someone on here or am I imagining it?

	I don't know how standard the Ital was, as it really seemed to be coming up quite nicely. I recognise the Anglia pickup, but maybe because its local to me? Oh yeah and this, reminded me of ivanhoew medusa - this had a Rolls Royce v12, so I'm assuming a merlin? I took a video of it at the start line but have no idea how to put a video on here?? And this gorgeous Lancia fulvia sport zagato - I think MGB roadster V8 THE END Unless someone can tell me how to put a video up?

	That's the Handlye Rolls-Royce Special. So yes, a Merlin. Specifically, a 1930 Phantom II chassis converted to hold a 27-litre ex-Spitfire engine
