captain_70s Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Anybody going to be popping to this one Sunday? Me and Girlfriend_70s shall be attending, most likely in my freshly polished turd: It's organised by the Albion foundation so I imagine there will be plenty of neat old lorries to ogle at. davehedgehog31 and Sigmund Fraud 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momentary Lapse Of Reason Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Haven't been to this rally for a few years - family stuff gets in the way!Usually a good event, we went in the Traveller when I had that. Sunday is the public day, Saturday ( is/ was) competitors only.We might go on Sunday, if things pan out.

Matt Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 I'll be there. It's a good show but the ropes and narrow walkways they leave between cars are a PITA (it's pretty expensive to get into as well if I remember correctly). captain_70s 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Split_Pin Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 I may reconsider as well. Sunday looks howling. oldcars 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain_70s Posted August 10, 2018 Author Share Posted August 10, 2018 I'm hoping by the time Sunday is here the forecast will have changed given that when I checked the forecast last night is was supposed to be raining today yet now today is here there is no rain to be seen...

davidfowler2000 Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 I'm still not guaranteed Sunday off even though I've asked for it. I may manage along, 'tis usually a good show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain_70s Posted August 12, 2018 Author Share Posted August 12, 2018 Car show confirmed moist but a decent turn out. Managed to bring the Doloshite even though it took 10 mins get it started this morning... Tam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doug Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Grand day out. Spotted your Dolomite but nobody around. Bought a new seat cover and new exhaust for my motorbike for the grand total of £15. Almost made up for the £10 to get in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldcars Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Yes spotted it to. Just a girl sitting in the passenger seat. Did'nt wish to appear creepy and say "i know your boyfriend off the internet" Popped back later by car empty Lot less cars than some years but still good. Got a good look at the buses and lorrys too. Great plate on a bus for someone on here too. vulgalour, cms206 and davehedgehog31 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain_70s Posted August 13, 2018 Author Share Posted August 13, 2018 You must have missed me by seconds, oldcars. That was when I nipped over to the registration tent to sign in and left Girlfriend_70s to finish her lunch! oldcars 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cms206 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 I didn't make the show as I spent the day in a sodden wet field in Perthshire. Hrmph. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain_70s Posted August 13, 2018 Author Share Posted August 13, 2018 I didn't make the show as I spent the day in a sodden wet field in Perthshire. Hrmph.Fucks sake. Wrong sodden wet field... I slept in on the morning of the show and woke up 45mins late, then the car wouldn't start because the weather was wet and it took 10 mins to actually get it going. Then I put some air in the tyres as they were all in the 18-23psi range rather than the 30ish they should have been, which explained why the handling had been boat like. By this point I was very late so bombed down the motorway at 70-75mph in the pouring rain, the resulting water trail disguised the burning oil although about 3/4 of the way there both me an Girlfriend_70's started feel vaguely unwell from the smell... The weather actually wasn't too bad, it spent a surprising amount of time not raining. I also managed to resist buying any junk from the stalls. Anyway, here is a random selection of pictures from the show, starting with old shite: DSC_3679 (Copy) by Anthony Eastwood, on Flickr DSC_3688 (Copy) by Anthony Eastwood, on FlickrDSC_3689 (Copy) by Anthony Eastwood, on FlickrDSC_3693 (Copy) by Anthony Eastwood, on Flickr Then some Prime Shite Shite: DSC_3701 (Copy) by Anthony Eastwood, on Flickr DSC_3714 (Copy) by Anthony Eastwood, on FlickrDSC_3719 (Copy) by Anthony Eastwood, on FlickrDSC_3727 (Copy) by Anthony Eastwood, on FlickrDSC_3730 (Copy) by Anthony Eastwood, on FlickrDSC_3736 (Copy) by Anthony Eastwood, on FlickrDSC_3740 (Copy) by Anthony Eastwood, on FlickrDSC_3763 (Copy) by Anthony Eastwood, on FlickrDSC_3747 (Copy) by Anthony Eastwood, on FlickrDSC_3756 (Copy) by Anthony Eastwood, on FlickrDSC_3761 (Copy) by Anthony Eastwood, on FlickrDSC_3762 (Copy) by Anthony Eastwood, on FlickrDSC_3766 (Copy) by Anthony Eastwood, on FlickrDSC_3744 (Copy) by Anthony Eastwood, on FlickrDSC_3718 (Copy) by Anthony Eastwood, on Flickr Some proper classics shite: DSC_3704 (Copy) by Anthony Eastwood, on FlickrDSC_3705 (Copy) by Anthony Eastwood, on FlickrDSC_3729 (Copy) by Anthony Eastwood, on FlickrDSC_3716 (Copy) by Anthony Eastwood, on FlickrDSC_3726 (Copy) by Anthony Eastwood, on FlickrDSC_3754 (Copy) by Anthony Eastwood, on FlickrDSC_3751 (Copy) by Anthony Eastwood, on FlickrDSC_3832 (Copy) by Anthony Eastwood, on Flickr Some 320Touring shite with bonus WOODAGE: Some lorry shite: DSC_3781 (Copy) by Anthony Eastwood, on FlickrDSC_3786 (Copy) by Anthony Eastwood, on FlickrDSC_3788 (Copy) by Anthony Eastwood, on FlickrDSC_3817 (Copy) by Anthony Eastwood, on FlickrDSC_3776 (Copy) by Anthony Eastwood, on Flickr Some bus shite: DSC_3771 (Copy) by Anthony Eastwood, on FlickrDSC_3772 (Copy) by Anthony Eastwood, on FlickrDSC_3774 (Copy) by Anthony Eastwood, on Flickr Some bike shite: DSC_3821 (Copy) by Anthony Eastwood, on FlickrDSC_3824 (Copy) by Anthony Eastwood, on Flickr FULL ALBUM OF PICTURES HERE. Overall a good show, I think my girlfriend is now simply relieved that I don't collect lorries or busses although she is fine with stationary engines... We buggered off home at about half 2ish and took the scenic route back on the A roads. When we eventually rejoined the M8 it was no longer raining and the Doloshite left an impressive blue vapour trail on the overrun. drum, doug, delux and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
