Shitefest Wales 2014 photo thread

[willswitchengage]

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:

Wow, brilliant photos chaps.

 

Mine are small in number and poor in quality but here they are anyway.

 

 

Samara - 1 part rally car, 1 part cardboard-clad camper.

 

 

 

How on earth did I not notice that this was sporting a Rover V8?  Superb late entry.

 

The album's here 

 

Incidentally, Rover R8s make excellent campers.  Excellent night's sleep!

[Wilko220]

Who has the Freight Rover "Weekender"? That's stunning!

[dollywobbler]

Belongs to a local friend of mine, who joined the forum yesterday. He also owns a delightful Austin A35 van, which is very much in the Autoshite spirit (so much so that the brakes failed).

Ah yes. I forgot the stunt section, when Mr The Cat attempted to jump the Stellar over the LT.

[twosmoke300]

I didn't realise that stellar was a v8 and I heard it running . It had been a long day

Geoff D has taken some superb pics!

I'll just repost my flicker link from the main thread for those that want to browse a load of average photos with the odd nice one in there by luck

They look alright to me Sloth!

[Jim Bergerac]

Some great pics and this looks like it was a grand weekend for everyone.

 

I sense that I have a personal mission over the next year to obtain some proper old shite and attend SF15.

[Sloth in a bowl]

They look alright to me Sloth!

 

 

 

Strange as it may seem, this one is my favourate as it uses the camera's take 4 pictures quickly and overlay the results trick to create a single picture that shows the belt movement really well.

 

[trigger]

I haven't uploaded mine you Flickr yet but here's a few of them.

 

Arriving to the 'fest.

 

 

Breadvans lethal Beta.

 

 

The African taxi was just amazing, it looked like crap but to drive and travel in it's remarkable, very impressed.

 

 

 

I had a play in Dollywobblers 2CV, very much to my shame and embarrassment though I couldn't get the hang of the gearbox and gave up. I FAIL.

 

 

Barefoots Veedub.

 

 

I had a drive of Conrad D. Conelrad's 2000 TC which was rather pleasant.

 

 

but not as pleasant a Skizzers SD1 V8, what a car!

 

 

Twosmoke and his dad.

 

 

explosive-cabbage's Lada was hilarious, It looked dog rough, ran like crap but it was such good fun on the corners!.

 

 

 

Colway Remoulds, the tyre choice of the shitter.

 

 

Both of these were A plates.

 

 

This Beta was stunning, we also had a Scimitar SS1 for a short while but i didn't get a photo. 

 

 

Matt's V8 Stellar on the way out, Ian looks most happy that he's going.

 

 

 

and even the venue came with it's own shite hidden in the corner.

 

 

Cheers Ian for arranging such a great weekend and thanks to everyone else for letting me play in your cars and for the laughs, here's to SF15!

[Lankytim]

Hang on, since when did that Stellar get a V8?

[Squire_Dawson]

Any pics of the fire museum?

[Gerald]

Hope the link works, looks like a fantastic weekend. I NEED to go back to Wales, went to uni in Lampeter and know Aberaeron and Aberystwyth well… Is the Cadwgan pub/bar still there on the north sideof Aberaeron harbour? Is the polar bear/badgerstill outsidethe row of council houses in Cilcennin?

 

Anyrooad, Skizzer's 'ventilation' pic of Dollywoblersesesesses motor is a thing of beauty

[Cavcraft]

Great stuff gents, that P6 is an absolute honey.

[Mr Lobster]

That looks ace! Wish I'd been able to go

[philibusmo]

I have no photos except the ones from my eventful return journey, but I can echo Dollywobbler and recommend that you view Geoff's Flickr photo album because there are some fantastic shots in there:

[scruff]

Rover V8 Stellahh!!! Give that man a medal!!

[Skizzer]

^ I was speechless. I could only make wibbling noises and had to go and lie down.

 

It's beautifully done as well - as several people said last night, the V8 manages to look right at home in there. And it makes a fantastic sound. Best sleeper EVER.

[STUNO]

Old men and men old before their time gather beneath the watery sun in a wet Welsh field behind a watered down watering hole whilst watching others wishing that they too could own whatever was wobbling past, some even wishing that their rusty holes were bigger. What a waste of a wonderful weekend made for watching wild football on a wide telly.

And as for going to visit an old engine museum. Why not just open your car bonnet and stare at that.

 

 

Jealousy and envy have no part in MY life.

None at all

Not even a little bit

Well maybe just an occasional twinge

[Shep Shepherd]

Loving the group photo of the Volvos. I think that The Volvo or The Wentworth would have fitted in well with them

[Spiny Norman]

Great photos guys, looks like an epic chodfest. Sorry I didn't go now but the camping thing really isn't my thing, plus, if I had intended to go I probably wouldn't have made it anyway due to some Volvo-related issues which manifested themselves late last week and were only fixed today, but maybe next year.
 

[Richard]

I didn't take many photos, and those I did take were mostly foosty pish, but here are a couple to start with.

 

 

[forddeliveryboy]

Particularly like the BX-900 pic, for obscvre reasons. Does the 2cv live in a London or some other big city?
