Retrofestival Newbury Shitelights

[mercrocker]

Spent the weekend with the Portafold at the Retrofestival, Newbury on the Showground. Didn't take my film cameras so relied on Mrs Rocker's digicrap. Which at least means I can throw some items of possible Shite interest up on here.....

 

Firstly this rather fetching Royale

 

 

 

Non-Princess Pushy spec Scimitar

 

 

Commander giftset

 

 

 

J4 mobile tent

 

 

Bumpershite

 

 

 

 

Kiddieshite

 

 

 

 

Reversing skill tester

 

 

Found this extremely appealing.....

 

 

 

....and this, even more so

 

 

 

 

Renner porn

 

 

 

Land Rover sex

 

 

 

 

And, finally one that really should be censored

 

 

 

 

 

 

That's all, folks

I went along to this. Was bigger and better than I expected - a really good day out. Didn't get many pics, but here are a few off my phone...

We were in one of those folding shed caravans (Portaloo). Thought I went right round but I didn't see the orange Isetta (full marks for the matching statue....)and failed to trip over the Sinclair.

What's with that Jag? Looks absolutely hideous but a potentially tasty engine (XJR or something?)

Yup, had a supercharged V8 in it from something.

Love the Mercury Comet! The Scammell is huge, aren't they intended as tank transporters?

[mercrocker]

Primarily, yes although I think they found some use in the oil industry as did previous British heavies such as the Antar. Sadly, although the ground at Newbury looked pretty firm they wouldn't let the big stuff do the arena parades....

Scammels make all of my front trousers massive.
