Held over the August Bank Holiday weekend.
A really nice little family orientated show. highly recommended.

A Stanley Steamer steam car, driven by someone not afraid to do donuts in the dirt in it. Wonderful.

A really nice show. A proper country show too -not overly commercial but an air of enthusiasm & fun. I enjoy this one.
The one low spot of the day was hearing the commentator in the arena say that this Rhodes tourer had had it's brass radiator cap/bonnet mascot stolen just a few hours earlier while it was at the show -the second vintage car that weekend to suffer that fate. It'd been on the car since 1927 & was obviously utterly irreplaceable. Scumbags.  Angry

I can't imagine a fellow vintage owner doing that. Can only think it was one of the autojumble stall holders or someone hoping to flog them on Ebay. A sad sign of the times.

Manky don't do the camping thing.  Tongue Rudgwick's less than 10 miles from home for me. Just round the corner from RAF Dunsfold, where they film Top Gear. The Dunsfold Wings & Wheels Show was on the same weekend, but I plumped for the Rudgwick do, (just noticed I spelt it wrong in the photo gallery. Bugger), cos I prefer the atmosphere of smaller shows.
Whad'ya mean -that is me in the Monkey picture.  Grin

been to the filming of top gear at dunsfold. been to dunsfold for the airshow when if you went in a classic or something like that you got in for free. i think you have to pay now even if you're displaying

I've done the Top Gear filming bit too. I won my tickets in a raffle and took my Mum as she would not have talked to me again if she knew I went without her. I've also driven on the track at the aerodrome all be it in an HGV lorry  Grin
