Got invited to this and had a very nice day - relaxed and informal show and much bigger than I expected - great job for a first time show But you want to see the pics - don't you? ABS Stand setting up  2 x Lotus Carlton 2 x Monza 2 x Carlton (1 Gsi24v and a turbocharged 3.6 12V est)  Next to us (Norwich mob)   And some Fords (who had travelled some distance)    Minty Escy  Two LC's is normal at the shows I go to - 100 in the club so frequently much more) Two X19's to me is a far rarer sight  Bangers (Sponsored by my local Motor Factor)   this picked up a prize in the rat catagory  This picked up so many prizes I bet the springs suffered on the way home     I don't think there was a car of the show but if there had been this one was a candidate........ It was superb Anyway moving on this was tidy clean and looked well loved  No flies on this one (Actually there was lots of em)  More rare sights    And by way of intro - the hub cap shot leads to this one    Less than 12,000 miles on this!!!! Eeek Obviously hasn't seen many washes - Suds........   Leads me nicely to another that hasn't seen many washes but well know here  More soon  |

At least the weather held out.
Some very good pics there, i love the Wolesley ( I will own one one day) and the Fiat.
Is it just me or does the rear "handle" on the boot of that Sud look like a bit of a bodge?
It just looks like somebody bent and shaped some metal and pop riveted it into place.
Its not factory spec, surely?

Great pictures...

Was a great day! ;D The V12 was in my friends Humber Pullman, will post photo's of it later once I've finished downloading our ones from today. Sniper got the chance to drive it at last years Supernats, very nice. If you want to see the build photo's: aye-deneaux.com/(Hopefully the link works  ) More photo's from today.  Pair of Monte's.   Who's is that I wonder?  Blinking husbands get in the way sometimes!  Digger's T.   Mrs Diggers Hillman Husky.  And finally ours. B&D, did you ever get that lense back from Digger?? ;D |

OK Last few Now where did I get to last! Matching engine bay to external colour is soo last year  Last year  Did Katie go to this show without you Seth  Ok so maybe a few of you know I'm a bit of a NASCAR fan but this rocked my boat   Basset wheels mmmmmm luvley  If you come up behind this  Best think twice before overtaking ABS Events secretary in prize winning shocker  No swimming  Never had the bonnet up all day  Nice lines - even as a Vauxhall/opel Fan - this is the secks  Later versions just don't quite give the same effect Festa  And now I'm confused - it appears that some of my pics have not been loaded - stand by |

Awesome selection, cheers BC. Sierra looks like some kind of Auto cross or non contact racer. Zephyr is super clean. And Lotus wagon, hmmm Nice |

 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts |

That "big American" is actually a compact Australian... Well, mid-size at best.... ;D
I recognise that garnet FE Victor. Can;t remember who owned it when I knew it though.
That Hudson pickup "rat or WIP" has been around in slowly morphing state for a while. I love it. I'd paint it, but I can see why the current owner hasn't (yet). And the answer to your question "rat or WIP?" is that really the two are the same thing unless its some "rat look hood ride yo" scene-machine.

And I misread the title of this thread - "Cars on the green bury a retro Ford". Had visions of something like Tulsarama but in Essex burying an old Escort in a muddy pit...

OK Last few Ok so maybe a few of you know I'm a bit of a NASCAR fan but this rocked my boat ( The Monte belongs to Owen, who is chairman of the AHRA. The ratty Hudson truck belongs to a guy in Ipswich called Gerry. He's had the truck since about 2004, here it is on the Felixstowe Classic Road Run in 2004. He changed the buck not long after this photo was taken. Last year he popped round in it for Mike's b'day party, the nighbours loved it.  Him and his other half have got a Hudson Terraplane, whopps make that 2 Terraplanes. Oh and I don't think Gerry is going to paint the truck, he loves the "just found in a barn" look of the truck and I do too. |
