Thought it would be better to have a separate thread for photos rather than have them mixed up in the meet thread. :)

 

 

I've given up trying to work out how you post the thumbnails like you used to be able to do so this is a link to the album, most now below linked from facebook. How on earth it is easier to link from there than a specific phot site I've no idea..

I love this photo of a Cortina pottering down a country lane. It is straight out of 1975.

The red thing is a hand made by an airframe engineer one off. Really quite impressive detail on it to be fair.

What is this sporty yet odd little thing?

Isn't it the precursor to the Ferrari FF?

I'm new around here.

 

It's come to my attention that some of you are running truly, truly shite cars.  You should be congratulated on your commitment to masochism and self abuse in a culture of PCP and 'never never'.

 

It's like I've finally come home...

My Shite contribution.... rubbish pics off the phone...

 

The sun always shines ... etc....

 

20150605_172626_zpsltcxvkfy.jpg

 

Princess... blah blah blah

 

20150606_113440_zpsptks7kte.jpg

 

My favourite car ... the Douglas Hartley Special based on a 60's Ford Corsair

 

20150606_104233_zpsezsantbv.jpg

 

Stunning detailing including stained glass type rear lights and many other details that you still see on cars today.

 

20150606_104217_zpsqn2s2mau.jpg

 

20150606_104142_zpspphiyquz.jpg

 

NACA inlet ducts and separate exit supplying air to the radiator in 1966 !!!

 

20150606_104240_zpsnt1tgqmf.jpg

 

Mad twin rocket engine go-cart that ran 0 - 150 mph in 10 seconds at Santa pod

 

20150606_104610_zpsdvsjoooe.jpg

 

This was the only ...cable operated brake although it also had a parachute it seems

 

20150606_104653_zpssbgoxlmd.jpg

 

And I found this of it at Santa Pod in 1967 !!!

 

scan0019-3_zpspr1zxrvn.jpg

 

The blurb said it ran on No2 and oxygen but it seems these motors or more accurately rockets actually run on propyl Nitrate and oxygen. This might make the comment that everyone at Santapod ended up with streaming eyes after the run a little more understandable.

 

And finally a few random Fri and Sat pics

Were these people innocent bystanders ? They seem mildly a/bemused by the whole thing.

Yes, they were not connected to AS, and spent Friday night in their camper with the curtains closed.

They seemed very nice old giffers, and spent much of the time looking amused/bemused by the influx of nutters and tat filling their nice quiet field.  The old boy did ask me at one point how the Alpine had scored its ticket and whether it was expected to get another one...

Apparently they used to be friends with the museum owner and visit 3 or 4 times a year I doubt they will return after Friday night lol. Coincidence?? I wonder....the museum owner on the other hand was a great bloke and I would suggest honourary Shitter... who even encouraged us to mess with his own Chod...

My selection. I've tried to keep it fairly brief, so we don't end up with too-many-pictures thread.

 

I set off from home and 8 miles later, things looked like this.

CGunYjrWQAIU9EM.jpg

 

Some hours later...

CGvEK_KWwAANRph.jpg

 

Llangollen itself was hosting far too many Morgans, and then a posh classic rally rolled into town.

CGvUSwOXIAMMJLY.jpg

 

Genuinely staggered by this one. A Trident Tycoon! (I mistakenly called it a Typhoon. The chap wasn't much for a friendly chat)

CGvUSvIW0AAGY9n.jpg

 

There was a train ride, then back to camp. Later, it got dark. Later still, the dirty mags came out. 

CGxP6N9XIAI8Pyl.jpg

 

Mat-the-cat fell around a lot, folk sat around the fire. Then a very short amount of sleep occurred. To perk us all up, Scotland provided calories. Many of them. 

1004550_10153423328813200_16198732586590

 

After Will kindly filled my XM with the finest veg, a smelly convoy headed off. This was a gentle alternative to Mat's fun route, but actually took less time. I thought it was just me and Joe in the Pleasure Wagon, but it seemed quite a few others followed us.

CG00rpwWcAAX4ZO.jpg

 

Naturally, once everyone got to Devil's Bridge, the test hill hoons began. Check out the variety! This is what I love about Autoshite.

CG1iIuhXAAA1Urq.jpg

 

I filled my Nippa with men.

CG2Yz9wXIAAL-Of.jpg

 

Later that night, an entirely expected conclusion occurred. Quite pleased with this pic, taken at 2206hrs on a phone.

CG2JsBZXIAA_EX7.jpg

 

I missed out on this last year. No mistaking this time! Absolutely loved it. 

CG5MdQUWQAAS8wj.jpg

 

Thanks to everyone who came and made this yet another cracking event. Thanks to Mat for finding a SUPERB venue for the Friday.

I photo'd like it was 1988 so I won't see any of mine for a few days. Hope they come out!

 

The only digital photo I took worth a damn was during the convoy:

That's a fabulous photo.

 

Properly looking into the past, like a trip to Wales as a kid.  I can smell the leaded.

We're missing some key moments. Resurrecting a beige Renault Trafic for instance.
