Bit late I know, but heres my pick from a chilly Wheels Day. A few weeks before it was just a blanket of snow, so I'm surprised that Rushmoor Arena was in such good shape come Good Friday. We headed down as ever in our trusty/filthy Camper. just beofre 9am seems the perfect time these days, the field was a few rows deep and there were no queues. We found a spot behind the cool Transit race van and bacon rolled as Camper owners do! Full up we headed out, cool car and RR member spotting. I'll try not to duplicate stuff already posted elsewhere. Carbon bonneted Mini with a TypeR twist T-Bird was 19ft of awesome complete with 8-track I missed papping Seth, so Lily'd his Hillman instead!

Fantastic race rod Race Mustang looked the part Matching two and four wheeled combo Baby blue with red rims was a theme. SWMBO likes pinstriping spotting I found it some what amusing that in between all the American muscle and custom cars there was a bog standard mint Metro!

Car of the show is so difficult to choose, but these two would feature in my top 10 This Triumph Renown was superb, the discs, spats and the removed engine panels give a stock car a rod look. Spotted Mr Jonny Somerset in this patina'd with brilliant green interior Buick. Nova looked spot on with those wheels While some cooed over Henry Hirise, I preferred the transport it arrived on

Restowagen Beetle belongs to a chap I know, the Oval next to it is a daily, the passenger seat being removed when the owners mountain bike needs to be transported. Similar colours, decades apart This made me laugh Pickup was another in my top 10 Cool Campervan, check. Two tone, Check. Narrow beam, check. VW, nope!

Cool Rod complete with knuckle duster radiator topper Different colour scheme on this Chevy Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser. Loved this mini conservatory on the rear of the roof. Impossibly clean Maestro A cross section of the day, bonkers short Mini, modern Mustang, filthy Camper Good to bump into Seth (with a shy Amazo hiding behind the Transit!) Rmad, Emdee, The Hardcores and Mr Somerset. Roll on next year. There are loads more photos here ;D
