As usual, we'll be in the "straight" car, rather than something classic or custom, (so many projects, so little time), but we'll have a photo gallery online the next day. Hope all goes well -& feel free to send us a write-up on this year's event! |

Great! We'll look out for you -taking the trike? Janie, (Boopoopadoopgal), & Postie_Dave are going. Chevy Rick was there last year but haven't heard from him lately. We'll be wearing our black MMMotors jackets, so if anyone spots us, come up & make yourselves known. Look forward to seeing you. |

Well we went and hand a great time. Bumped into Taz, Dave and Janie and Chevy Rick. Did not see Manky but think he was eating cake somwhere. Nice to see you all folks and what a great show. So many motors to look at and a beautiful day too.

Didn't see me?! You waved at me, you cheeky chimp! Yeah, it was a great turn out. Bitterly, bitterly cold but dry & clear with very bright Winter sunshine, which made it a bugger to photograph anything. Taz & I managed to snap nearly a thousand shots between us though, plus ChevyRick's piccies too. Everything from motorised bicycles to steam lorries. We went straight from Romsey up to Wiltshire to spend the rest of the day at Brock's place. Got home at half past midnight. It's now 3.50 in the morning & I'm setting off to commute to work again. So no photos online yet, but they'll be there by the end of the weekend. |

I decided it was too cold for the trike, and currently without my car, so maybe next year.....

Over a thousand photos from Chevy Rick, Taz & myself now online here: Romsey classic meetIf you haven't been to this one yet, it really is worth the effort of getting out on a chilly Boxing Day morning to go. A fantastic turn out of vehicles & visitors. Some beautiful machinery on show. Great to see this stuff actually being driven & enjoyed as it was meant to be, rather than just hidden away as an investment. The Romsey show's run & marshalled by just 3 guys, which makes their achievement all the more remarkable. Read Mr B's write-up for more info. Nice to see Dan, (53 Catalina), Chevy Rick, Triker Pete & Chrissie, Janie & Dave, Mr & Mrs ByzMax & everyone else we chatted to. Of course we'll be there again next year. |
