Well -SCORTCHIO- it was hot and it was sunny. it was a delight to meet up with many old faces at the drags, and meet a few new ones. Great weather and plenty of fine cars, just needed less oil downs and the event would have been perfectio.
Sadly my Canon DSLR is still off for repair, so I had to make use of my mobile phone to take these shots. Enjoy, the spirit of the event, even if the camera work is even more shonky than usual...
Galaxie wagon is still for sale, £9500 ono if anyone fancies it.
some decidedly "home grown" styles of rat rods in evidence.
its about the fun
Nice to see a fair amount of Brit tin being rodded
I think this is the old Street Machine A truck?
this Devon was a delight
Love it!
small lights make this Pop look different
although I prefer this yella terra
one of 4 '39/'40 Ford pickups present.
I've seen this on the M1 before LOL
I think it broke on the Saturday
This is my deth-ride
evil
A reasonable selection of late model stuff too, like this Mk1 Cortina. Didn't bother snapping much of it though.
Also a fair few stock yanks on the day. I loved this Oldsmobile. Several people said "that IS you"
Also "me" is this Galaxie coupe. love the fake convertible top bows on these
I'm told this is a recent import
As is this, it belongs to a mate of a mate and he tells me its all hand painted (in One Shot)
Indusction stacks are for real.
clean looking Z-car
kool kustom
coffee and cream?
or do you prefer it black?
I think this is the "Perverse" Plymouth in a new paint job
rat Caddy
Its a Pontiac. I made that mistake as well. GM badge engineering at its finest.
A Valiant effort (badum-tish), the 340 is goign to be replaced by a big block soon so I am told.
Oooh, gives me the Willys
Some trad looking rods
This reminds you how much Chevy has dragged the Malibu name through the mud in recent years....
Several Gassers ran
Vantastic
I'm running out of things to say about patina/trad/rat black rods now
but this muthafunka rocks!
Local Galaxie. I like. Reminds me of a "Fire Chief" Matchbox car I had as a kid
this one looks somehow "surprised"
Very rat
the other end of the spectrum
I'm feeling a ZZtop revival
Every girl crazy bout a sharp dressed man
Always space for a Mk3 Cortina
T for 2 and 2 for T
Surrey Muscle were there, I think they all live there actually, I love the Olds. 'ard core.
Another recent import, I think. Lovely '64 Plymouth.
Now this just has something about it, not sure what but its ticking some boxes for me...
This looks ard. its bagged.
Pop goes the weasil
Outlaws and all sorts were also running
Lorra lorra Pops
Even if that one is an Anglia
Roarin' Rat, a fantasy of mine when I were a lad. Good to see it out and about
Now here's a lesson. Basic brit car, nice paint, WIN
if the devil had a pickup
Loads of nice Muscle cars there too, but its not really a muscle event so I concentrated mostly on the rods. here's a nice Camaro though
I followed this Volvo out on the way home. Lovely
Awesome Jag. This transported a set of my old slot mags off with it
£21k and this Plymouth Fury could be yours.
All murdered out '55
Delightful Dodge
More Fury action
An all-American paint job
and the British version...
This is just SO RIGHT
this look is retro now, right?
a touch of the x-X-x?
Awesome pro street Anglia. I didn't see it run though?
Anyone get any times on it?
100E with attitude and wheelie bars
Candy Dorset
More Dodge delight
and of a differnt type
hard!
4 sale
Brown is the new black
proper RAT
Lovely Chevy.
More ace Dodge metal
back to the rods...
lots of pickups about right now
couple of folk were cool campers in their Airstreams
Slammed kustom '50 Ponitac
Just the job
more rods...
wow, its the 90s again
Tangotastic
I could have driven this one home
apart from the risk of getting arested for TWOC of course
And I don't even like matt black cars
Yet it gets more love than the very much more derirable '65 Impala SS 2 door here...
slammed later model pickup
slammed early model pickup
this was for sale. No price stated. Just as well I can't afford. I would have bought....
one quick divorce
one fairly quick Pontiac
some horse trading was going on
Drive 55
Stunning DeSoto
Dutch rodders
I love Oldsmobiles.
This was so right too. Notice the 3 spokes on the hatch along side. They ARE coming back...
More pickemups
This seemed nice for £4500
This just seemed nice...
THIS is what you do with a Humber...
Or...
more tradin'
here comes the patina
and the trad rods
this guy was cool
More work on Rubelion
I once nearly did this to a 100E. Had the paint and everything. Lucklily I sold it to a guy with a Saxo.
Hard-as-NAILS
this NEVER gets old
Bryn and I couldn't decide if this were an utterly inspired new build or a reworking of a rod from back in the day. Either way my boat is well and truely floated.
I think I might have owned one or two of these myself
Looked SPOT ON
THE way do do a sedan....
Efortlessly cool Falcon Ranchero.
Biscayne
Elvira's ride
Brynmobile
Cool flying Pig
Did we have any trad rods yet?
2nd gen Falcons just look hard
Aussie Ute?
I remember a phase when all 50s inspired rods were this exact colour
Nice long roof
A little bit Seth...
cool as funk pushmepullyou pit car
Nice, right, lovely
Couple of Elky's
Don't I know someone who owns something like this?
carry on Camping...
