Next in were some of the biggest classics I've seen. A trio of QTR Transport trucks. An AEC was joined by a Commer and a Thames to add an orange hue to the day.
Grabbing a breakfast bap we watched a few more cars drive in before starting a walk round of the show. As ever the variety was vast, several regulars from previous years were there and plenty of new comers. After a few rows of cars a promised trip to the park was in order.
After the swinging interlude we started the walk back to the Camper for lunch, bumping into our friend Alan who was there with his nephew and family. Sadly Alan's Beetle had suffered a wet weather altercation and was badly damaged, so they all arrived in Eds Camper (sporting the damage inflicted to the rear by Alan - best to keep it in the family) fortunately the only damage was to pride and panels. The hunt for spares has started.
With a lazy lunch in the Camper it was time for another walk round before a trip to town to see if there were any bargains in the charity shops. All we came back with was some chocolates and a little red Beetle model for Alan.
On our return from town a final trip to the park was needed and a last sweep round the show. Well over 100 classics had made it and filled the field up. The charity buckets were filled with over £700 and the rain stayed away.
We clambered aboard the Camper and headed back along the A4 in convoy with the TVR Vixen and made for home. Thatcham may only be a little free local show, but it just keeps getting better.
Steve.
