panhard65 Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 A few from last weekend car show in Taunton. A massive turnout this year well over 1000 cars a lot I have seen before and the Aston's and E types are a bit boring.This little mini was actually painted rather than a wrap not my cup of tea but a lot of effort had gone into it.I nearly threw up taking that last photo but had to share it in all it's naff glory.Have a lovely Bentley to make up for the PT CrusierA nice Jensen 541R I prefer the original 541 myself but they are not getting so expensive I can't see me having another now.My fleet HillmanImp, vulgalour and Skizzer 3

HillmanImp Posted September 4, 2014 Author Posted September 4, 2014 Just looked this up out of interest (and to see if the missus picks up on it when she looks through my t'interweb history). http://www.gccg.org.uk/ In the FAQ: Do I need to be gay or lesbian?The majority of our group are gay or lesbian, but of course there is no initiation ceremony where you prove your credentials. If you are happy in the company of our LGBT members, feel free to join. I am cool around gay people as long as its actually a group of people who talk about classic cars etc and not just a load lewd innuendo about knobs. The GCCG gives some of the best value of any classic car group:You receive four issues of Big End magazine per year Ah. TBH its an old club going back to 1988 when I suppose you may well have been more likely to be persecuted for being gay. Probably less relevant these days but no issue with it. If I joined it wouldn't bother me but I would be weary of a meet on Hamstead Heath.

DS20 Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 I was in Hull yesterday (Tuesday), where my car - the red one - found a long-lost relation. I didn't get a chance to have a chat with the owner of t'other Saab, sadly. HillmanImp 1
DS20 Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 ...and then, on returning to my car, in the distance I spotted ANOTHER old 900, a 5-door, but the driver of this one zipped off before I could walk over. It seems that Hull is Saab central. HillmanImp 1
Jim Bergerac Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Spotted this last week: Can you tell I'd been for a drink when I took this? Anyway you'll have to take my word that it looked great: Boring: PHWOAR:

HillmanImp Posted September 14, 2014 Author Posted September 14, 2014 Went to a car show at Roberts park in Saltaire today. Seemed to be mainly Rovers but there were a few other bits there including, believe it or not several MGs. IMAG0974 by Afalseicon, on FlickrIMAG0975 by Afalseicon, on Flickr Mrs Imp liked this.IMAG0976 by Afalseicon, on Flickr This was surprisingly shonky up close. Paint was a bit flat and the doors were a terrible fit.IMAG0977 by Afalseicon, on Flickr I liked this. IMAG0978 by Afalseicon, on FlickrIMAG0979 by Afalseicon, on Flickr Had this sticker in the back. I suspect the owner needs to read the Beano a bit more often as life really is not that serious.IMAG0980 by Afalseicon, on Flickr This was a lot rougher in the fleshIMAG0981 by Afalseicon, on Flickr IMAG0982 by Afalseicon, on Flickr This was in really nice condition but was very Halforded up. IMAG0983 by Afalseicon, on Flickr Didn't Jimmy Nail drive one on these CV8s in an episode of Minder when he was meant to be a down and out gypsy?IMAG0984 by Afalseicon, on Flickr That was it for non rovers.IMAG0985 by Afalseicon, on FlickrIMAG0986 by Afalseicon, on FlickrIMAG0987 by Afalseicon, on Flickr The turn out here was a bit rubbish. I toyed with the idea of going up to Wetherby to the microcar show but as the fan switch in the Visa needs replacing I just went to Otley Vintage festival.There was a lot there and I took some photos of it before the noise from all the musical machines, the bagpipers, the drummers and the MC made me feel like I was going mad and I had to leave. IMAG0989 by Afalseicon, on FlickrIMAG0990 by Afalseicon, on FlickrIMAG0991 by Afalseicon, on FlickrIMAG0992 by Afalseicon, on Flickr This is that one that keeps turning up on Ebay.

HillmanImp Posted September 19, 2014 Author Posted September 19, 2014 Like the music career of Norman Greenbaum, your contribution may have been small but it was extremely good. I am now waiting for Dr and the Medics to post up some very similar photos. brickwall and barrett 2
