trigger Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Just finished uploading them! Went to the Wings, Wheels & Steam show today at Rougham airfield in Suffolk, Nice show with a good range of tat to keep me, the wife and her old dears happy for a few hours. Of course as always there was the chavs in there 4 year old Peugeot 206 5-door's with big wheels thinking there cars are what every one wants to see, My father in law nearly saw one to closely when some young 17 year old tart in the show area shot backwards and nearly ran him over. Any way here are a selection of the pictures, The rest are HERE Bedford Packhorse 4x4 J-Type. Here's a picture of the same truck i found on the web from 1989. Cleanest Triumph 1500 i think I've ever seen This was for sale, It one of only 7 remaining Mk2 1600 GT Estates, Need restoring though, The owner wanted £1500 and i have the number if anyone is interested. One for Mr_B! Don't think I've ever seen a Volvo badged one of these before, This was lovely, Only had 18000 on the clock which i bet was original and yes it was a Variomatic. New fleet member for Hirst cabs? This Cortina that i know SL has posted before has been built for some disabled chap, hence hand controls, It has a 4.9 V8 and full Mustang running gear, It's so far cost £28000 to built! This 70'stastic 2.0 Cortina is up for sale now, £2000 ono. Got chatting to the old couple that own this, They brought it in 1962 for £30 and used it for many years driving around London to and from work, They only started restoring it in the last 5 years, It's a 1936 MB PB Supercharger for you that don't know. Nice granny spec Volvo 164 in the car park. Shite enough for you?, 1994 XM 2.5TD with strange coloured alloys and twin pipes! And finally this was a beautiful car park spot, It was spotless and only had 50k on the clock. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3316/3669805294_1abce40a79_b.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trigger Posted June 29, 2009 Author Share Posted June 29, 2009 You must have a pretty good camera.I've been told that before, It's only a cheapish point and shot Panasonic FX-30 thing, Think it was £79.99 from Sainsburys a couple of years ago, I agree though, the photos are clear from it.

Guest Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Thanks for sharing, Bedfraud Wagon is shurely ex GPO/Telecom.DAFs/Volvo 66s were ALL Variospastic werent they? Or did they do a three-pedal version? Mum's aunt had one up until she popped 'em in the late eighties and I did wonder what sort of transplant one could have performed on it...

Point an shoot FTW!!11!!A mate of mine is a professional Photographer and spent the equivalent of half a dozen quality shiters on a Hasselblad 52.2 squillion megapixel boyo. I can't tell the difference, and I have 4 eyes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuvvum Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 That is quality. Looks like the sort of thing you'd see grinding along a dirt road in Nigeria or Cambodia - haven't seen one over here in donkeys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spottedlaurel Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Nice pic's. Would love to have gone but as thought house stuff took over. Great pic of the old gentleman cornering at what looks like considerable speed. The lorry is rather nice too, more interesting than the current BOCM Pauls fleet. The Triumph 1500 was at Henham. Looks as if they were with the EAPC massive, who seem to put on a good presence at the local shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spottedlaurel Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 I've been toying with joining up too, but not really sure what I'd get out of it TBH. Maybe you'd get to hear about some interesting cars coming up for sale? Not really in a position to take advantage of that right now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
