Last year, this was Nicola and my first romantic date , we got to meet Briandamaged.... Today, I Got to chat to Kevfromwales on the phone, and met Nighmaresracing Mark and a mate whose name I forgot  Decided to go again this year, as she loves the stuff as much as the next guy. Saw loads, and got to buy myself these....  One of Nicola's dream cars.  Loved the look of this car... note the interior.   For Sale Bargain.  My take home car of the day.     Originaly found in a hedge in Cornwall, then shoved in a shed for more than 10 years. Pulled out yesterday, carb cleaned, 2 new fuel pipes, air in tyres.... For sale @ £250 , but marked down to £195 for a quick sale. Owner was riding it around, and it seemed to just putter away happily all over.  Perfect.     This made us grin..... typical.... but it had to go home... owner cutting up so it would fit the BMW's rear.           Fat bottomed girls make the rubber go around.    How low can you go ?     Car of the day for both of us.    With the Seth-Mobile  Modern, but likey.  £99/year roadtax  ? LPG ?     Ms Grizz's purchase of the day...... £8.00 What an awesome little find.... wind up mechanism, all works, and has two lots of tiny tincars running a roundabout.  |

Sorry we missed you Grizz. Was a real good meet, bigger than I'd seen it before. Coolest thing I saw during our walk round was this set of gennie 16" magnesium Halibrands complete with ever-so cool tyres.   |

Some nice pics there! This made us grin..... typical.... but it had to go home... owner cutting up so it would fit the BMW's rear. lol  That's why I love hatchbacks :-) I have a 106 as a parts hauler for my dodgy 309 and you just can't believe how much space there is with the rear seat out. So far it's had a 309 rear axle and a complete 309 interior in the boot, both going in without any trouble. |

BM's are perfect tathaulers. But more interestingly to me, what is that other tathauler in the upper LH corner, the blue shed on wheels? Hideously delicious, a stance atrocity like those Toyota vans. Love it. |

hi grizz, I was the mate you can't remember with nightmaresracing. we met briefly when oldbus was over with the capri. the datsun pick up was so cute and had never done a days work in its life, better than a vicers wifes car, only used on sundays. brought a lump to the throat and by the sound of Hotwire, the trousers. dirty boy, in your box!
see you at wheels day? I'd like to think I'll have a new car by then, got my eye on a 100E with a 2lt pinto. nice to meet you, see you soon
cheers, Ged

Anyhow, nice to see you there today as well. |
