Shite at the 2011 Pickering Steam Rally

[John F]

I was up at the Pickering Steam Rally last week, here's a selection of the shite that was on display...

 

Short-arsed little tratter:

 

 

 

Lil' pink & gold tractor... Yes, it was owned by a lass :

 

 

 

Didn't get close enough to find out what these two are... anyone?

 

 

 

Maxi (or some other Landcrab derivative) getting a bit of twilight fettling next to a Sherpa coupe:

 

 

 

I was tempted to flop my dick out & ask if I could join their club:

 

 

 

Tidy Mini Clubman in baby-shit brown:

 

 

 

Mk 1 Tranny pick-up:

 

 

 

Miniature tank based on a mini-digger:

 

 

 

Massive Zil truck... owner pays just 73 quid per year insurance, which might help to offset the undoubtedly astronomical fuel bills...

 

 

 

Mark 3 'Tina next to a tidy Montego:

 

 

 

And again from the front:

 

 

 

 

 

Loads of Landcrab/Maxi-type things:

 

 

 

 

 

Triumph 2500 Estate:

 

 

 

Baby Austin:

 

 

 

Some kind of '70s Vaux estate - Ventora?

 

 

 

BMW Isetta (there was a Messerschmitt there as well but I didn't get a photo of it):

 

 

 

Vauxhall VX 4/90:

 

 

 

Brabham Viva:

 

 

 

Jaaaag 100 SS:

 

 

 

Dolly Sprint:

 

 

 

Riley Elf:

 

 

 

Lightweight Landie:

 

 

 

...and a tidy Series 1 Landie:

 

 

 

Capri with autoshite paintwork:

 

 

 

Saab 2-stroke:

 

 

 

Mini 1275 GT Clubman:

 

 

 

Vauxhall Firenza:

 

 

 

Dairy Milk Beetle...

 

 

 

... complete with a Flake attached to the front bumper:

 

 

 

Bond Bug:

 

 

 

Remember when these things were everywhere? I can't remember the last time I saw one on the road...

 

 

 

Pic of its arse...

 

 

 

And its "dashboard":

 

 

 

Truly shite paintwork on this Hunter:

 

 

 

Slightly tatty Amazon:

 

 

 

I didn't get many pics of the steam engines & suchlike because the weather was shite on the day I spent looking around them, but I had to grab a snap of this one due to its mahooosive crane:

Cool crane!

 

Top two motors are Rover P4s, now some pedantry.

 

Your Vauxhall estate is a Viva HC. Your Hunter is actually a badge-engineered Minx. Your two-stroke Saab is actually a V4. Looks like a great mix of motors though!

There's nowt wrong with a bit of pedantry, hehe.

 

And yep, it's a shame the weather was so bad on the Saturday otherwise I'd have got a lot more pics.

[alf892]

great to see you had some decent weather up there

 

also in pedant mode............i reckon that ss100 owner is fibbing.......marlin??

[autofive]

marlin or something home made with plywood

[dollywobbler]

And the headlamps are HUGE! Could it be a Panther?

[maxpower]

that vauxhall vx has made me dribble

[M'coli]

Cool pictures, that beige Landcrab is local to me:

The weather was very on-off... Friday was excellent but I was off green-laning then, Saturday was minging & that's when I took the pics, Sunday was OK but I was out on the lanes again looking for massive puddles, hehe.

 

The Jaaaaag started life as a 100 SS but it has a Lea Francis body and at some point it's had a different engine, can't remember what though.

Great selection: thanks for sharing!

 

Invites left for the Landcrabs etc.
