Soundwave Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 So the last two weekends there's been a couple of good car shows near where I am. Last weekend was the Atherstone motor show, followed by the Hinckley motor show yesterday. Always a good turnout, there was all the usual show fare - supercars, popular classics, kit cars, scooters, giffers talking bollocks, screaming children etc. Everything we love about a local British car show. Everyone was photographing the flashy stuff, so I decided just to focus on the shite - of which, I'm pleased to say, seems to be establishing a real presence at shows. Let's kick off with Atherstone: Stimson Scorcher. Because why wouldn't you want to ride a Mini like a motorbike? Bit of late registration madness on this Panda: bicycle repairman, morrisoxide, Shite Ron and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soundwave Posted September 20, 2021 Author Share Posted September 20, 2021 Homebrew motorhome device. Apparently uses greasy bits from an Ambassador: Looked cool, but bloody hell the build quality on these is visibly shonky! Mind you, not like Britain's own FX4 was much better... Zut alors!

Soundwave Posted September 20, 2021 Author Share Posted September 20, 2021 Interesting woodwork on this Moggy. Also proof that at least one Morris Minor was in attendance, which is a legal requirement for any classic car show. Got a distinctly "post-apocalyptic Heartbeat" vibe from this truck: Wedding car for the terminally unambitious: LightBulbFun, Low Horatio gearbox, Dick Longbridge and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soundwave Posted September 20, 2021 Author Share Posted September 20, 2021 Some Cavalier attitudes were evident: For when you need to move a fuckload of eggs across a ploughed field: Technically not part of the show, papped it anyway: Popsicle, davocano, JMotor and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soundwave Posted September 20, 2021 Author Share Posted September 20, 2021 Moving on to the Hinckley show... I immediately got my phone out to find @egg's database. Unsurprisingly, this was already on it: If my outdated 80s stereotypes are correct, those water drops mean this Lancia is mere seconds from disintegration: LightBulbFun, JMotor, Isopon and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soundwave Posted September 20, 2021 Author Share Posted September 20, 2021 I never understand how people drive these things around the small, tight streets of the UK. I'm glad they do, though: Popsicle, Sigmund Fraud, LightBulbFun and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soundwave Posted September 20, 2021 Author Share Posted September 20, 2021 Obligatory Mini: Bit of AgriShite, for the farm pervs out there: This was my joint personal favourite of the day: This Nova was my other joint favourite: Popsicle, Low Horatio gearbox, JMotor and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soundwave Posted September 20, 2021 Author Share Posted September 20, 2021 Not everything was minty fresh, which was nice to see: Choo choo, motherfucker!: ... And done.

Dobloseven Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Saw the white PC Cresta a few weeks ago when I went to a local(Leicester) car paint place. Owner had just bought it and had gone for some touch up paint. Said it cost 10k. Dick Longbridge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
