Whilst you lot were at RR08, 66 Farinas.......

Makes me miss my Oxford!

Vanden-Plas 3-litre estate isn't it?

I just did a sex wee in my pants either way!

I miss driving or cruising about in my mate's old A55 mk2 - still pining for one of them or an A60 estate!

Nope, at 2:24 on the video, car's in the second row back with red over white/grey A60 to the left, stout chap in a blue checked shirt in front. May be my eyesight though...

Edited to add: better shot at 2:29 - definitely an A60 estate, possibly not factory though!

The light green estate is a Westy estate, as far as I know the only genuine one in existance (I wait to be corrected on that) and the dark blue one is a MG Magnette estate owned by a good friend of mine. Just to confuse things its turbo diesil powered! . Its not a genuine MG estate, but a personal build. The Riley 4/27 V8 mentalist was there too, he also removed the exhausts the night before, the sound was......... just imagine ;D Too see a largly standard looking Riley 4/72 making those sort of noises is like watching classical music being played to the sound of Drum and bass, slightly odd, but oh so good!

After years of going to shows I can honestly say that this was the best show Ive been to for a long, long time. The atmosphere was like something ive never experienced too because there was a large turnout of ex banger drivers who hadnt seen each other for years and there was some great stories to listen too. As much as alot of people say that banger racing can be bad for classics, its now the banger connection that is helpng too keep this club going in the numbers there is now. Thats not to say everyone in the COOC is from banger racing, but its certainly a good percentage. They build some very interesting cars too (magnette estate, Riley 4/27........)

I was fortunate enought to borrow an Oxford for the day, (green, white roof, rostyles) it was the first time id driven a farina and I enjoyed every second of it. CHEERS DAVE!
