Shrewsbury Steam Fair, lots of photos.

[catsinthewelder]

Thought about sticking these in other threads but there's far too many.  If I'd thought about it earlier I should have booked the Dacia in as an exhibit.  As it was it made pleasant transport to the show.

It wasn't the only classic in the carpark.

Forgot the tanks!

Should probably also mention that Miss Cats took most of the photos, she's better at it than me

 

[Asimo]

That's a good show!

Can I have this please

or maybe this?

Oh and what is this, behind the Heinkel?

 

[High Jetter]

Daimler SP240, MK1 Escort, Morris Minor. Or do you mean the yank tank?

Those ropes ain't going to hold those tanks back!

Nice to see so many fine old commercials. And car of the show for me is that beige Landcrab with period goodies.

I wish mine was still in this condition,  it was just like this before it got the camper conversion.

Miss Cats says the big station wagon had a Plymouth badge.

Back again this year and a lot of the same vehicles were there so lots less photos.

I can't decide which of these black beauties in the carpark I wanted to take home more.

Well it is a steam rally 

Back again but still ace

This beauty was tucked away from the displays

Keep meaning to go to this one at some point! 

[catsinthewelder]

It's not cheap at £17 per adult but being pretty local it didn't cost much in fuel to get there even in the XM.

I let Emily drive home as there are good bars on site.

Saw the black Austin van on the way to Wales on Saturday afternoon. Parked in a nearby lay by. 

[catsinthewelder]

Drove past Shrewsbury on the way north this morning and there was an epically sheddy Landcrab heading towards the show.

Dodge 3700 GT, they used to sell them in Spain as the Barrieros in the mid-late 70’s.

[catsinthewelder]

It's that time of year again!

Got a nice surprise on the way in,  saw a familiar looking car parked about 10 along from us.

Timed it nicely for a chat with @dollywobbler and Carly on the way in then didn't see them in the crowds for the rest of the day.

Quality was as high as ever but tends to have most of the same vehicles each year so less photos.

Especially for @LightBulbFun

Wagon is a Dodge/Plymouth  Savoy/ belvedere,etc late 60's ( same as road runner meep meep).

Looks good that, give me a shout if you're going next year. Was it very expensive to get in? Burwarton is absolute robbery, I've vowed never to go again.

I went this year for the first time with my dad, my brother and my nephew. I actually had a very nice time, 18 quid isn’t that dear these days plus kids were a quid. 
 

Thats my brother’s car in the foreground of Catsin’s picture.

Here’s me and a rather cool old fire engine I liked.

I rather enjoyed the show, it was like something from a time before things like health and safety (primary school kids having a tug of war versus a steam engine) plus loads of fun people watching and loads of genuinely nice people who like classic vehicles and associated activities. The sort of jumble sale section was rather engaging too. 
 

My favourite things were the Scammell Pioneers, the steam lorries and the ploughing/tractor pulling. Plus a rather nice Jawa speedway bike that I forgot to get a picture of.

I went on the Sunday but totally forgot to take any pictures, plus it was raining. 

Good show though, plenty of stuff to look at.

I'll fight you for the LDV. 

Thanks for going to the show @catsinthewelder, how many boring MG beards were there?
