[OwdChina]

Howdy Y'all.

Well this was a bit of a washout, the weather was miserable for most of the morning, but around 40 odd cars turned up anyway.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Talking to the owner of this truck, it is a local barn find all original never painted or owt, just given a good clean and fluids changed. 

 

 

 

More to come.

Like the 56 Belair sport sedan - for obvious reasons - mine will be like that (yeah right) one day.

This Z240 didn't leave the factory like this. Fuck it this is California.............

 

............Lets shove a V8 in it.

Not a bad day considering the earlier rain, then it was off to the pub.

[OwdChina]

Temecula Old Town. Closed to regular traffic and only cars booked in for the Rod Run allowed into the town.

[Junkman]

Not five years ago each one of these cars would have been festooned with those terrible whitewall tyres.

My constant preaching appears to have caused a trend.

[cort1977]

That superbird must be worth a fortune if genuine.

 

JM, what's terrible about whitewalls, they were fitted on most full size American cars from the 50-70s weren't they?

[OwdChina]

Howdy all, Murrieta, the next town to us in sunny Cal. Attendance was a bit low this year, with only half the amount of cars as last year. Just a few shots because not much seemed to really stand out this time around...........

San Diego.

No where near the same turnout as last year, some good stuff though.

 

 

 

 

 

Normal MGB...........Erm.....with blower !

 

 

MGB with 6 pot............?.........Landcrab lump......?

 

 

 

 

I counted 11 DMCs

 

 

 

More to come.

[chaseracer]

That 6-pot "MGB" is most likely an MGC.  Did it have a bonnet hump with a chrome strip?

 

Like so:

 

[SiC]

MGB with a blower probably has Moss supercharger kit.

[OwdChina]

 

 

 

 

 

 

Seem to remember some questions about this engine not long ago. Here it is.

 

 

 

 

[OwdChina]

Not British, but cute according to wife. We followed this whizzing down the 163 into San Diego at around 70ish mph. 

 

 

 

Back to British.

 

 

No it's not mine.........wish it was though.....lovely.
