Event 2019 Stan Woods Memorial - A GGG Climate Improvement Appeal (CIA)

[Spottedlaurel]

Fiat 125 pretty impressive too - I'd assumed it was an FSO from Youtube videos I was looking at this morning.

[bramz7]

I caught a glimpse of two large Datsuns on their way presumably to this on the M6 yesterday.

 

And an absolute dog of an A55. it looked like the body and floor had parted ways many decades ago.

You do see some pretty damn impressive rust.

 

 

And some stuff you don't see until the inch of filler has fallen off.

We got there for 9am got track side parking and had a very relaxed day walking round as they were all coming in and chatting to people we know, watched all the races and waited till most had gone before leaving without having to queue up to do so then a steady 80 mile  drive home.

great day 3rd one ive been to and cant wait for next years.

[Junkman]

Okay, here is my account.

 

This Shitrun has shown up at least once before and is seemingly indestructible.

 

 

 

Nicely presented P4:

 

 

 

So was this Zodiac estate:

 

 

 

A Riley Adelphi:

 

 

 

 

Immaculately prepared '39 Chrysler:

 

 

 

[Junkman]

Pair of Tinas:

 

 

 

Notha good looking P4:

 

 

 

Slightly frilly:

 

 

 

Delightfully shonky:

 

 

 

Shite:

 

 

 

Politically correct:

 

 

 

Farinas. There was a Farina only race.

 

 

 

 

 

There were several P6es.

 

[Junkman]

There was the usual array of Rivas. This was probably the cleanest one.

 

 

 

First time I've seen one of those being raced. There were two of them.

 

 

 

Lots of P5s.

 

 

 

Would probably have yielded the sunroof bits for Alcyonedong's:

 

 

 

Two races were actually won by Maxis:

 

 

 

MOAR frilly Farinas:

 

 

 

330 Cedric:

 

 

 

3500S:

 

 

 

Didn't run the V8 though. Note passenger floor.

When it flipped on its side in one race, we could see inside of the roof.

[The Reverend Bluejeans]

Some truly dreadful old shit being bangered there - wish I'd come now and stood the Kraut bird up. Ho Hum.

 

I spy a FWD Taunus there as well as the front end of a Mark II Jaguar.  Pity about the Taunus. 

[Junkman]

The already much featured 125:

 

 

 

Nutha P5:

 

 

 

OMGJRG Imperial (no, these Imperials aren't banned):

 

 

 

The Dutch brought a (proudly RWD) Badewanne:

 

 

 

 

And a P2 Rekord:

 

 

[Junkman]

A135:

 

 

 

 

Rare Devon:

 

 

 

Not 500 hours of welding:

 

 

 

 

Notha 330 Cedric:

 

 

 

I spotted a Laurel, which makes it a spotted Laurel:

 

[Junkman]

Autoshite House Team:

 

 

 

Shitewagon:

 

 

 

 

Mr Mint again produced some impeccable arse end engined East Bloc chod:

 

 

 

 

 

This DS 420 actually won a heat:

 

 

 

Team Sour from Ireland was out in force, as usual:

 

 

They had two 30s Humbers in their luggage:

 

 

 

 

 

Someone slightly less concerned with the bloody oil pressure of this OMGMGBGTBYMG than Sic:

 

 

 

I think I saw Squire Dawson having a bit of a tear in his eyes alright:

 

[Junkman]

Oh no, not another Farina:

 

 

 

Not sure what these guys' other hobby is:

 

 

 

This looked like was barely holding together while standing still,

probably because it was barely holding together while standing still:

 

 

 

 

The aforementioned 130:

 

[The Reverend Bluejeans]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So was this Zodiac estate:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That's a Zephyr 6 m8.

[Junkman]

Doomed P5:

 

 

 

DE 36 hearse (until I stand corrected):

 

 

 

A125 Sheerline:

 

 

 

A Shadow of its former self:

 

 

And another:

 

 

 

 

One of the Irish Humbers was actually a Daimler:

 

 

 

Talbot 90:

 

 

 

Pure class:

 

 

 

 

Another Golde bits donor:

 

 

 

The Plah had left the car:

 

[Junkman]

That's a Zephyr 6 m8.

 

Was 4 cyl. tough.

[The Reverend Bluejeans]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Dutch brought a (proudly RWD) Badewanne:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Arse, u got me. The P4 was V4 and FWD. 

[Junkman]

Interesting W126 conversion that sadly wasn't raced:

 

 

 

Oh.

 

The end.

[The Reverend Bluejeans]

Was 4 cyl. tough.

 

6 cyl front end, not that it makes much difference now. I liked the Mark III Fords since I saw one in The Ipcress File.

[The Reverend Bluejeans]

Interesting W126 conversion that sadly wasn't raced:

 

 

 

Oh.

 

The end.

 

There should be a law against not racing those horrors.

[Conrad D. Conelrad]

A handful of aftermath pix:

 

 

Still looking better than the airbrushed tat Cavcraft finds on ebay.

 

 

 

Fairly straight Ital.

 

 

Zigzag Marina.

 

 

Bolt on panels make for a pretty wreck.

 

 

[primeradoner]

Was 4 cyl. tough.

In the unders class you are only allowed 1600 crossflow or pinto engine swaps if the original lump is gone. If he had put a V6 in it he would have to race in the overs class and he already had a car for that.

[The Reverend Bluejeans]

Zephyr 4's were 1703 cc iirc.

[fordperv]

Here's some more

[fordperv]

[fordperv]

I don't know why these 3 are so bright

[Lankytim]

I remember that hatchback Merc appearing on eBay a while ago (unless there’s more than one) the hatch section is from a Rover 800

[chaseracer]

Surprised to see the dash still in the 3500S.

There was one at the 2CV world meeting in Scotland with the rear end off a Renault Express van...

[Conrad D. Conelrad]

Surprised to see the dash still in the 3500S.

Me too, but the dash was also still present in the Taunus and Minx. The latter was a genuine low mile car - which had been parked in a wet barn for an age, with predictable consequences.

 

 

[danthecapriman]

Looked a brilliant day!

There’s some epic rust and filler work there too. Fair play to em getting the cars running, prepped and actually having the balls to race them too.

I still find it amazing these guys still manage to find some of this stuff too. Can’t be many more years left where that sort of variety of weird and obscure chod comes out for meets like this.

 

Was the big Chrysler the only yank of the day?
