Nice weather, nice location, ThomasLand kicks mighty ass.
Had a jolly day, met up with a few folks and enjoyed the reaction you get when your 2 year old points at someone's painstakingly build early rod and yells "Brum!!!" Winner every time.
I have to say I was surprised at the number of stockish late model stuff in the show area. OK, makes for a bigger show and some might call it "diversity" but others might say "dilution". I could have pretty much parked my Lexus up with some and it not look out of place... Meh. Minor gripe. Great event. Check the pics. I will add more later if people wanna see more. Or maybe even of they don't. I have 240 useable shots here...
Great start. I managed to leave both the slot mags and the General Grabbers where they were. I had the wife with me though LOL
Cossie powered Minor seems to have had a couple of tweaks since I last saw it.
I'm "off" satin/matt black but this Cortina looks well in it.
This Mk2 looked like every Mk2 looked when I were a lad. Nostalgic trip man.
Someone on here owns or owned this I think?
Takes a lot of effort to get a big ol' stepside this straight
There were eleven-billionty Mk1 Cortinas and Mk2 Escorts there in this style. This is either the nicest one I came across or the first one. I forget.
clean though, innit?
Acceptable in the 80s. This Pop has the feel of a barn find. I've been seeing it at events for some years though. Keep the spirit alive. I'd flake it.
I love this Chrysler - but I'd paint it. and fix the rust. Actually, I'd consider selling one of mine to own it.
This Capri will be Marmite.
But I suspect more "Yay" than "Nay" here for it?
Now, this roadster was a cracker.
Ol' Austins make great rods. Always wonder why everybody goes for the Devon, the Somerset is way overlooked with one or two notable exceptions.
Postman Pat got his ride pimped.
Roford. Still looking good.
As is this F-Truck. Gorgeous
Have another as I am feeling generous
Prostreet Minor was perfect
Maybe a little "scene" for some tastes but this rat rod was pulling a crowd all day
Chevy wagon was just "nice"
VW Caddy has had some camo since I last saw it.
Nose up, gasser stance FTW
I didn't have the heart to tell this T/A its an orphan now. I hope whoever tells it breaks the news gentlely.
It shouldn't surprise anyone I considered owning one of these a while back.
This FD looks better without the flames for my money.
Clean Chevy install uses the whole Edelbrock catalogue to get the job done!
'34 (I think!) Ford with Elvis murals on the interior door panels.
There is a thin line between pride and advertising it....
Ho ho ho, its a Dodge Dart Swinger, not promiscuous wife swapping sex parties.
I think.
Rays Rods Plymouth 5 window. These have really grown on me in recent years. This is a nice example and I've seen it at a fair few events.
This 100E always makes me
Vette with a story.
zipster type rod jobbie.
"El Camino, thats like the Cadillac of cars"
this one isn't shy with the restyling
although the factory styling is pretty out there.
these chaps were A-W-E-S-O-M-E and reg plates suggest an appropriate use of the "daytime only MOT"
This Cortina was a good looking work in progress. I'm hoping it was going FROM pastel painted South London Look to Kermit the Custom and not the other way around.
Ace tow car or what?
Couple of different but stylish takes on the commercial theme...
Nother minty Pop
another 60s yank I hope something gets done with before it gets too far gone.
Another Rays Rods 5 winder, different style going on with this one.
