Ghosty Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Car park spot - a very early Rover 216GSi Luxury Pack. The owner was impressed I knew it was specced with the Luxury Pack. Squire_Dawson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidfowler2000 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 In lieu of a fast internet connection and the fact my big PC is at the parent's house and I'm at my own place with the substitute laptop, have some sample photos from Chumly.

worldofceri Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Annoyed with myself for missing this again.

chodweaver Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 That reminds me - I am tardy in my uploading of pics from the day... Rumours of the scarcity of Stags are exaggerated: There really were some gems just chucked casually away at corners of the site: Smiley face... Volvo Didn't know these were a thing until two weeks ago: I should have spent more time poring over this one. Not seen one for many years and this was the first car I remember travelling in. My Mum had my Dad's cast-off Anglia, complete with red seats that were leaking horse hair. Not the most comfortable thing when you're 3 and wearing shorts... Yum I wonder where the styling for these came from - I always liked the front, but on the saloon, everything from the B pillar back heralds the clumsiness of the next and last shape ones... More yum from the 80s In the LT camper, I have slight concerns about what is still supporting the combined weight of me, the slender reed that is Mrs CW and its own structure when we sleep in the double over cab. But this... it's plain there is very little supporting this double over cab... I may have made my circuit of the site too early in the day and missed other examples, but afterwards me and Keymaster were reckoning up the number of Citroens making an appearance. Even counting non green blooded ones, I think it was limited to the Traction Avant/Light 15, this DS (ID?) and a handful of 2CVs...No GS, AX, BX, CX, Xant, Xsara, ZX or XM was spotted all day. Are they all really that close to extinction? I was starting to think the mere existence of these things was a figment of my imagination - I seem to recall Revell did these as a kit when I was a kid, and I've seen two ever since. I love some of the shape of them, but the push-me, pull-me idiocy of the styling that infected the Boxster seems to have started here. I could lick the paint off this one in that colour though... The Flight of the Valkyries was playing in my head at this moment. Heroes in a heroic car, making a heroic journey to show the rest of the punters.... HOW IT'S DONE Not content with detailing* a Corsa van in a car park in Glossop, the Northern Powerhouse and Granadaland Greenhouse Gassers™ set to with the de-Barrying of a Renault 4, with varying degrees of success. Junkman however deemed neither of two members to be The Messiah, but instead to both be Very Naughty Boys and will be administering a spanking..... as soon as he can find the correct device in his plastic bag. There is rumoured to be footage of disruptive elements amongst the showgoers, seen driving around the site in a most undignified, nay even unruly fashion at the end of the day, causing confusion and consternation to others. This footage has fortunately been suppressed, to protect the guilty. Junkman, Skizzer, brownnova and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wack Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Saw a very nice 1924 Buick which I thought deserved sepia, tried to get nothing modern in the background, luckily that wheel in the top right is from a 1924 prototype motor bicycle that didn't make it to production as it looked too futuristic Loved the citroen, I'd need to be a passenger though , i'd be asleep in 10 minutes in that seat Supercharger fitted to a V8 Mustang engine in a MG ZT 260 , If I had that I'd take all the badges off and dress like Harry Worth until a barry boy was alongside me at the lights in his corsa worldofceri, Squire_Dawson, eddyramrod and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brownnova Posted March 16, 2019 Author Share Posted March 16, 2019 They’ve added an extra one in May as well our usual one in September. I was planning to aim for the usual September Autoshite meet. It’s September 1st this year. I’m happy to organise again, will chuck a thread up next couple of months. eifion and chaseracer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghosty Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I express interest in any and either date. Especially as a couple of the better Greater Manchester shows have announced they're taking 2019 off, sadly.Also, Chumley is always a good lol.

Yes, if it's on a date I can make I'll bring the big event tent and the tea brewing facilities again. Why have I got two near identical cars, answers on a post card please! Who knows?

brownnova Posted March 17, 2019 Author Share Posted March 17, 2019 Yeah it’s good to see it back...maybe some interest in the May one instead/as well?? I shall check my calendar and pop a Chumly 2019 thread up this week to gauge interest. Cavcraft and chaseracer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
