Wheel Nuts Vintage and Classic Car Rally Stroud

Post by **rob.hardy1** » Sun May 11, 2008 8:00 pm

I have just THE nicest day. It was my very first time of attending a car show as an exhibitor rather than just a spectator.
I went with my wife , my brother and his family with thier MM.
We exhibited as a group with North Wilts District and we made good use of the district gazebo as the sun was quite fierce. We arrived just before 9.30 as requested in good time for the opening of the show at 11.00.
Much tea, fizzy pop and ice cream had to be consumed and i did my best to keep up as well as the beutifull array of vehicles to drool over.
Ther were i guess 200 plus beutifull cars of all ages makes colours and condition. There were at least 30 M.M.'s there and i have posted picture on the web. If you would like to see them go to.

As i said, this was our very first show and it was a great initiation to the 'scene' Our next show will be hosted by N.W.M.M.O.C. at 'STEAM' in Swindon next to the MacArthur Glen Designer Outlet Village at the towns famous railway museum on Sunday 8th June. If it half as much fun as today, i will be well pleased.

Nice pics Rob. You can't even see the flies on the front of my car

Must get it washed before the next event.

I'd like to meet up at Lydiard Park as long as I'm around. There's a chance I'll have to head off to Cambridge for my Nana's birthday party that weekend, so I'd miss the rally

It's a 3.5 Rover engine, the owner started it up when I was there and it was incredibly loud. Fairly unreliable at the moment too apparently, but he said it's a work in progress! Incidentally, the car is an ex panda, no criminals would escape that one in a car chase (unless it broke down)
