This was a cracking show last time (lots of bikes too smile).
Do get there early though, coz it gets packed, the entry bottlenecks, a couple of cars overheat .... instant chaos!

Essential thing to carry, just have to stop my lad from trying to drink ours! bleh

The old trick of turning on the heaters works for us in the Snipe. Mind you, my poor old legs get a right roasting when Sniper has to do that. But fingers crossed with the engine rebuild & replacement rad that won't happen quite so often.


winner.gif Well done to Shrek.

Well done Shrek, bloody good job me and Bumper pulled out or you wouldnt have won!

Excellent cruise down, good to be out and about again!! Weather was fantastic. All a bit red today!!

My over filled gearbox decided to let some fluid out all over the exhaust on the 130, had to pull over as we looked like a james bond car as the smoke filled the road behind us.

I think we need to swap numbers in future so if anything happens to us on the way home we can help out. there were 3 cars that could have taken water to Mark if we had known!!

Highlight of the day had to be Chucky trying to get someone in flip flops to stand in a big pile of dog Sh1t!!

Hi xtroortx
You should have said hello.  We had 7 turtle cars together.

The 7 lined up were

Mark..........model A
Chucky.......consul
Bumper......Hudson truck
Shrek........Camaro
Andys........Escort (ok its his wifes and it was only there to sell!!!)
Me.............AMC Rambler
Bowtie........P5 Rover with the Ford V8.

If that helps you put any names to faces to cars!!!!
