Another rammed Wheels Day

The week leading up to Good Friday didn't look promising. I'd driven through high winds, rain and even 6" of snow. But at 7:30am when we set out it was sunny but freezing cold. Cruising with Malcs and family we meet Steve in his 911 on route and we parked up flat 14 convoy right near the front.



Once in we fired up the cooker and rattled off a stack of bacon rolls.



And then it was time to start the mammoth walk round. There had to be over 2000 really cool cars and bikes parked up today. Some were old favourites but some were new to us. Including the Nightmare Racing Escort.









This was interesting, Mk8 Jaguar body with space frame chassis and the running gear from an XJ8 underneath.






This hearse was dead good!








Driven in from the London Motor Museum. This new Dodge was sporting 24" rims




We headed back to the van for a Lily sized snack. Lily helped Nette push the buggy for us!


This was parked alongside us all day. Level at the front, the back of the Camper came up to its rear wheels!


There was so much 70s coolness about this Transit van


We set off once more on a mission to the side field. Stopping by the LTV club stand.







Star of the day for me amongst other was the Monkees Mobile.






Getting peckish we stopped off for a bite to eat next to this 12 Reg Morgan whilst munching on a pizza.









We then wandered a few traders before heading into the bikes area.







Then back to the camper once more for a sit down.





Or a sleep!



Some more of the LTV crowd arrived and we chatted for a bit before I caught the end of the awards presentation. Mark won a Top Ten for his Escort.


And then we joined the queue to get out. Trundled back up the country lanes after a brilliant day out. The predicted rain never came and we all ended with a little suntan! There are loads more photos available here.

Steve.
