Snibston festival of transport pics.

[mattblack]

We went to this show on Sunday, quite a varied selection on display.

 

Couple of ren-ohs.

 

Nice muff.

 

I would. So there.

 

I wouldn't be seen dead in this, tho'...

 

Does a Pantera qualify as a shite supercar?

 

This Trojan is ace, it's all battered mudguards and brush paint. The owner was saying how it lives outside under a sheet, and that he'd recently made a better fuel tank for it... it was a modified 25 litre drum.

 

Minty badermatic ADO16.

 

A local motorsport club had some cars on display.

 

'We're not the sweeny, son'

 

TUG indeed.

 

Split screen moggy traveller with 'inbetween' lights/grille must be a rarity.

 

Spitfire(?) wires make a change from spint alloys, I think they quite suit the 'luxury' image myself.

 

NOT BIG FAT WEDDING/TARMAC/PEGS/SCRAP METAL/OPRESSED ETHIC GROUP.

 

Especialy for Pete-M. The fire service rescue demo was actualy pretty interesting, the bloke was saying that they have to be careful with all the airbags in modern stuff and that things like electric seat ajustment causes problems when they need to recline the seat to get someone out and there's no power.

 

Alvis Leonides 9-cylinder radial from a Sycamore helicopter. Sounded GR8.

That Triumph 1500 does indeed look pretty cool on wires, it's not something I would ever have considered doing but it works in the same way that they do on early Rover P6s.

That Hearsebike gets around, it was at the Thundersprint in Northwich on Sunday!

[M'coli]

Thanks for these, after seeing that Sycamore engine I've just been on a fact-finding tour about early helicopters!

[eddyramrod]

TUG indeed.

 

Any chance of a pic of the lush Mercury in the background?
