But it is available on the web
 

As last year and cms's suggestion, it's probably best if we keep the BANTZ and the photos separate.
 
Arriving late, I didn't take many, but here's a few to get the ball rolling:
 

 
Elan Valley. I went the wrong way and didn't regret it.
 

 
Anti-roll bars working well
 

 
Didn't someone say this consumed 75l of fuel for that one minute demonstration or something? Still, probs better fuel consumption than this lot:
 

No, it wasn't a patch on SF14, but it was the only show I attended this weekend, so there. I give you the Anglesey Vintage Equipment Society's annual bash.
 
And I'll play one of the aces right up front:
 

 
 
Moving swiftly on, these were rather impressive. An incredibly rare Fiat Tipo (ya rly), a Tracta (with newfangled FWD tosh), and an Amilcar which made me grin an awful lot:
 

 

 

 

 
 
This was easily the most gorgeous car there by a mile, unfortunately I couldn't get a decent shot of the stunning side profile as those two imbeciles WOULDN'T MOVE:
 

 
 
Flat-caps and concours trophies ahoy! Bet this is rather good fun:
 

 
 
SEKSHEWAL:
 

 
 
This still does daily-driving duties by all accounts:
 

 
 
I imagine this is rather a rarity? No, I have no idea why the owner was vomiting into the bed:
 

 
 
Not sure why this appealed to me, but it did - very neat little thing. Also, check the incredible colour on the Wolseley Daimler next door:
 

 
 
Obligatory rally slaaaaaaags:
 

 
 
Packard Sex Six:
 

 
 
One for AngryDicky:
 

 
 
One for Louise2CV:
 

 
 
And one for me, yes, ME! I actually want this car so much it hurts. I'm currently chugging Tramadol to try and quell the pain caused by its absence from my life:
 

 

 
In the words of Placebo, 'whadda gas, whadda beautiful ass'.
 
 
Some random commercials:
 

 

 

 

 

 
 
And last but not least, my favourite 2-wheeler of the w/e:
 

 
 
Actually, honourable mention must go to the owner of this, a quiet and neatly-dressed elderly chap, who proceeded to RAG it mercilessly round the parade enclosure, hassling the Triumphs and Nortons like a nutter:
 

 
 
And that's all I can be arsed posting up. Here's a link to my album: http://imgur.com/a/xKMmg#0 where you will find literally 25 other photos, including unmodified Minis, a pair of HA Vivas, and two Field Marshall tractors. (I should point out that there were dozens of really nice vintage tractors there, but they were all parked further away from our stand than I could be bothered to walk, and I missed most of their parade. Deal with it.)
 
Laterz, biatches.

So, in a flurry of last minute bidding (not really, just makes it seem more exciting!), I have won the auction for a 1992 Nissan Prairie 2.0.
 
Not sure exactly what possessed me to buy it as I don't need a car, I don't think it will be particularly thrilling to drive, and it is pretty dreary to look at (except for the natty two-tone paint).
 
Oh well, I don't keep cars long anyway do I?
 
Hey, for £310 what can possibly go wrong?

The following people-watching games;
 
What Gender Is That?
Son or Toy-boy?
Susan Boyle or not Susan Boyle?
 
That is all.

Suffering some mechanical maladies by the sound of it - but this is nice (look at the trimz!)

Surely one of the Scots Volvo Massiv could win this (bidding ends at 19.23) and pick it up on the way home from Wales tonight? Assuming at least one of them is two-up.

Old rav4 or mk1 crv might be an option as well, or just let the grandparents look after the kids and buy a 2 seater for that continental GT feel.

Ive said it before and I'll keep saying it till someone listens to me, the Eurovan 2  is bloody brilliant.
 
Remember, this thing was designed to cart a family of Frenchies over some pretty naff roads - its durable and if you switch off the Electronic Stability Control it handles too.
 
2.0 HDi in 136bhp flavour sans FAP and change the belts at 40K, It'll be right.
 
Sub £2K will land you anything from 2005 upwards.

And it'll run perfectly fine with E85.

It LOOKS like the remains from when Noddy wrapped his car round a lamp post after a night on the lash in Toytown

Junkman
Send it to the crusher and watch it grow back into a p6 again. It may come back as a better one. Worked for Christine.

I only ever get as far as reading "should I buy" in these threads and just think "yeah, go for it".

In today for fettling, thought of Fred.... (I'm not mad keen on the grim reaper shiz, but there is no denying the quality)
 






 
Used to have a modern Di engine in it, which I preferred, bit the V6 did sound good....
 
 
Sent from my Nokia 3310 using the force.

Many people now logged onto Autoshite at the hotel. We could talk to each other in real life...

Hi, Only just joined, my vehicle is the Sherpa shown in post #849. Sorry I couldn't stay longer this evening but will be there tomorrow.

Excellent...

Rolls Royce switchgear was layed out so that the correct one could always be found by a gloved hand in the dark - perhaps your chauffeur should have chosen another career path??? :)

I had no idea how low a common denominator can be, until I listed my Pug 405 on Gumtree.
Since then, I appreciate how high the lowest common denominator on Ebay is in comparison.
