here are some random pics,

By the way does any one have any idea what the big round thing is. Dale and I thought it might be a pump.

Bloody brilliant !!!!

Oh yeah - what the heck is that turquoise round thing ??

Post by **RogerRust** » Wed Dec 26, 2007 6:30 pm

I dunno it has a spindle that probably had a crank handle on once.
Some sort of pump perhaps?

It was exactly the same on the other side but there is a spout in the second picture that could be an inlet or outlet pipe.

I've just googled it

hi roger it was good to see you,there some very nice photos.

Post by **badfelafel** » Thu Dec 27, 2007 5:35 pm

nice photos! what kind of camera did you use?

Post by **RogerRust** » Thu Dec 27, 2007 7:05 pm

Its a 4megpix Olympus - more or less point and shoot but it has a good glass lens. Which I think is more important than no of pixies. Also I brightened the pics up a bit before I uploaded them since the sun was already on its way down when I got there.

What do you think about this one? I guess its a 2CV kit anyone know better?

Also there was a blue saloon there that I did not get to take a pic of. None of us recognised it. She left the same time as me and went home into the white gate in the picture. I recon she had only travelled 100metres must be a record.

Yes, I think it's a Lomax Lambda 3. I had a ride in one once. It felt surprisingly nippy but it was incredibly cramped inside, especially with the soft top up.

Thanks for the photo's Roger and although I couldn't go its nice to see cars from the local Branch and Watford & District classic car club attending.

Thats easy to answer Dale, you are used to going for a hack over all sorts of surfaces so a bit of mud would be no problem to you

Its funny you should say that. I was right behind her and didn't get stuck either!
