Show details in the events bit Pete. The pics were a bit too fuzzy to use really. I also left out one of a big Hinckley Triumph cruiser for the same reason.

Maybe just needed to stand back another foot! My own camera's no good for anything closer than about 18 inches. I rarely use all of my own photos -I edit out loads that are too blurry, badly composed or just plain boring. Thank Rick for us when you see him please & tell him we're always looking for more contributions.  |

OK, will do. I'm trying to get him to uncover the old girder forked 3 wheel milk float he has tucked away, so it can be photographed |

There was a shot of a Reliant Regent van in Rick's report. We've got one here in Basingstoke & I've been meaning to photograph it for ages -it lives a few doors away from Flap's garage. Must do that.

Some nice machines there  I think this needs the wings removing, home made stepside pickup bed and a roof chop and then it would be perfect |

So it's classics as well as creations - might have to take Doris along next year - she's officially a 'Modern Classic' I wouldn't mind taking this home.......  |

Just been chatting to Mr SaddleBags. His brother runs a modern classics business -buying, selling, repairing etc.
We'll add a page for him & a link to his own site soon.
Is that an Aston or an Alvis? Luvverly colour.

He's just what I need - only a lot closer to here!
I need to find a garage that will care about Doris, my usual one can't really be bothered, and anyway they don't have mechanics, they have 'technicians' - plug it in, look at the computer, replace the part the computer tells you to.
I have been toild of one in weymouth but the logistics are the problem. If I took Doris there I'd have to get a taxi to the station and get a train home!
Mr Toad is very good but I can't always rely on him, it's just not fair, and anyway he can't MOT it for me!
