Popped along in Rupert the Stag with my 14 year old son, objective for him was to find out what is cool and what makes you look a tool.

 

Last year’s show was cancelled at the last minute due to the showground resembling a lake, this year couldn’t have been more different. It was packed, bursting at the seams, more cars than I could possibly look at in the limited time we had and the sun was shining. Forgot the damn slip slop slap and the boy burns so only had a couple of hours which was a shame.

 

Onto the pics;

 

 

This was fapping immaculate, shame it didn’t have original dealer plates and sticker, very tidy. Took me right back to 1980s.

 

Matt’s verdict = Meh

 

Then we saw these two, attracting dishevelled old men, the agro was tidy.

 

Matt’s verdict = they don’t look like they go fast

 

Then this honey, “ever seen one of these Matt?†trying to instil some interest.

 

Matt’s verdict = better that the agro

 

I rather liked this, I bet it is a right hoot on the roads

 

Matt’s verdict = what the heck is that

 

A very tidy 1964 P6 2000, not many of the series one cars about and only the 2nd 64 plate car I have ever seen

 

Matt’s verdict = how fast is it?

 

Funny how Minis seem smaller these days, well I spose the new countryman is about the same size as my Range Rover so it stands to reason.

 

Matt’s verdict (funnily enough no interest in the mini but) = Ovlov is pretty cool

 

 

FC 101 porn, I didn’t bother to ask Matts opinion, he was looking quite embarrassed that I was taking photos.

 

lovely, managed to lose Matt for a while

 

 

Triumph v8 in a Herald! Apparently brutally quick in a straight line but doesn’t care much for corners. Nearside exhaust manifold was made from a scaffold tube. The car had an 8track with Hotel California cassette

 

 

I liked this, Matt doesn’t like Lotus’! But did like the newish Evora at the front end of the car park. Then he did like Lotus’. “How fast is it dad?†depends on how the electrics are feeling I guess.

 

80's tacular phone in the centre console. This was a very tidy XJ-S. Matt thought it looked slow!

 

Does my arse look big in this? One on the right was an SP IIRC

 

Matt’s Verdict = sick - which i think means he like it

 

There were a couple of these, this was the nicest.

 

Matt’s verdict = yep I want one of those

 

FD2000 porn, check out those wing mirrors

 

Tidy barge with Rupert the Stag in the background not getting all jealous and huffy.

 

Matt’s verdict = don’t pick me up from school in that.

 

Matt’s Verdict = cool or sick or whatever means acceptable these days, I lose track

 

3.1 My chum had a 3 litre S Capri and had it better than new.

 

Matt’s verdict = car of the show – seems the boy likes the idea of going sideways round roundabouts and backwards into hedges.

I managed to lose him at this point, he went to play on his phone and look surly while sitting in my car.

 

 

TR5pi prices have suddenly gone stratospheric, I find this strange for a stop gap car donchfink?

 

Mazza Indy porn

 

fvcking hell, high gloss on that. Looked very wob free as well. Matt was in my car nearby, I gave him a shout and a thumbs up and was rewarded by him slowly shaking his head. Oh well I do try.

 

Quick snap as this was just leaving. Clouds of authentic oily exhaust.

 

Inappropriate rimz on an otherwise tidy grandada. Spot the Dorchester behind that has thus far escaped one last journey round the oval.

 

Ant-eater special! I loved this.

 

 

“Hello darling! Oh no, sorry sir I was talking to the car"

 

This was fully restored and very tidy pre-HE v12 with low miles and up for six bags. 2 or 3 sherberts and i’d have been all over that like a cheap Burtons Suit. Mrs thastag says no more cars though, and it probably wouldn’t fit in the garage. Going to do it one day, though the salmon XJ6 might beat the white XJ-S to it, unless it was a very early XJ-S then it would be thwack, thwack, thwackidy-wack

 

I have never seen a Rover this colour let alone a 3 litre P5. Seems to suit it though

 

Noice coupe with 8 under the hood and column change baderbox

 

 

 

Very nice, reckon it would look better on steel wheels though, maybe even lotus Cortina rims

 

There were a few of these at the show, Matt was speechless each time, but I don’t think that was a bad thing

 

“Is it fast†asks Matt.

 

Stupid wheels again, what is it with ford boys? I mean either that suspension is rockard or he gets through arches and tyres like I get through brown beer on a May bank holiday. Otherwise quite nice.

 

 

Incredible, good job Matt had buggered off again because I was nursing some tentage. I even considered moving in for some frottage, filthy tart! Just look at that dash. I would like crash everytime I drove it because I wouldn’t be looking at the road.

 

 

Matt didn’t seem to think that his mum, mrs thestag, would notice this if it rocked up outside chez-stag. He did quite like it though.

 

Misery hols 1973. 2.5 dizzler to keep you amused and deaf

 

Morris MO ½ tonne commercial, never seen one of these before. Lovely thing it was too.

 

Froggy style plates lol

 

The Cossie next door had a fart cannon so huge that this Rover owner might have mistaken it for the Hindhead Tunnel

 

Cute little Rochdale, about the same size as a frogeye and about the same chance of me being able to fit in it - though more because of a fucked up back than enormous girth.

Ha! I have some in the wild motorway spottage of the city X! Beginning of April, before POL but heading somewhere else from memory, not sure about the chrome and spoiler though.

[vulgalour]

Great selection of stuff to see, that Saab is particularly good looking, I didn't think that shape would suit the bumperless look so well. Morris MO is a big special, they're rare enough in car form.

[skattrd]

Gr9 pics ,looks like a good turnout. Nice to hear some of the yoofs opinion on the motors as well.

[RedSparrow]

GR8.8 WRK.

 

Look at that Ambassador. You would kind of know your car company was fucked when those started rolling off the line.

[beko1987]

Fuck me that's what it was! We drove past there on Sunday looking for a (shit) car boot! Wish we'd gone back now!

[406V6]

Great selection of cars. The FD 2000 was nice but odd - the FE appeared with K reg so either something is rong somewhere or it was kicking about a while before it got registered with an L plate. Father V6 picked up a new L reg FE VX4/90 and I still remember the day. According to the DVLA the car survived until 1991.

That FD is SUPA HOT.

 

If your son would rather be seen in a bloody Triumph Stag than that Viceroy you seriously need to have a word.

Too right about the FD, that and the tbird i would happily have dragged my sack over the pair of them. But kept just enough back for the s2 daimler.

 

Tbh matt is about as fussed about the stag as he was about the viceroy, he generally prefers the range rover.

 

I keep thinking about selling the stag, especially having owned it for nigh on 20 years. Then i make the mistake of taking it out for a spin and fall for it again. It will need to make way for an s2 xj or an early xj-s soon.. Maybe
