[The Engineer]

Its on the A5 about 1 mile from weston park at the top of hill on right hand side if you are coming from the spread eagle it lays back from main road on the crossroads there is also a garage on the right I hope this makes sense to you

[Trugga]

I thought there might have been a few more of us going - maybe the cold weather played its part. Turned out to be a nice day actually, a little chilly perhaps, but dry with sunshine.

"The Engineer", " Trugga" & "Alex" at the meeting point:





Weston Park Country House in the Backgraound, Family "Alex" in the fore:



Some modern cars:



And not quite so modern:



And the obligatory stuck Landrover (Spot the error):



And of course a quick opportunity for a photo (I should of taken the proper camera though):





And we even got The Engineer to go off-road:





A good few hours out in the fresh air me thinks.

Also, I wonder if there will be a Midlands FOG display there next year ?

Nice piccies, what time did you rouges stop till? We left a short time after the wife emptied my wallet in the craft tent. Just want to know why theres jewellery stalls in a car show?

Good day,lucky on weather, the bumper looks great in the flesh.

[The Engineer]

We had another look around and a coffee took the photos and came away you had already gone when we got to the cars I came home via Burlington Ford made a bit of a splash at 30 mph about a foot deep and 10 meters wide

[Drift]

Wish it was closer, I love hose shows, looks a good day out

[Trugga]

Wish it was closer, I love hose shows, looks a good day out

Thise photos don't do the show justice.

There were the attractions to keep the kids and Mrs's happy, but the majority was based on petrol - old vintage and classic cars and bikes, little engines, car club stands, auto jumble stalls, tool stalls, burgers & coffee, an arena with schedulled displays of junior moto-x bike riding, a couple of aero engines on trailors that were powered up...

I think Rick and I left about 15:30.

Oh, yes Carl, the recovery rope was wrapped around the bumper

Lawrence

[Red Oktober]
