Manky Monkey Motors

Just received the entry form for this year's show, (hand delivered by one of the organisers).
Sunday the 8th of May.
Memorial Park, Basingstoke, Hampshire.
Obviously we'll leave it till the last minute, then panic, like we always do, but start planning guys :)

But it's not May yet ! :D

:) Loads of time ...oh, my Gawd, it's tomorrow.

There's a chance that i might be at Basingstoke with a different group.    :o

But it would mean that I could come in a car (possibly Mike's Jag) and drive right onto the field.

It'd be nice to see you Bobbi.

What ? ? ? " a different group " :o...... TRAITOR !
Be great to see you again, no matter how you get there. :)

is it on a bus route ,,,??


do the buses run on a sunday ,,, :D :D :D

Is anywhere on a bus route?? mine just seems to wander, 20 minute trip to town takes 45 minutes, and that's using the horrid bus lanes that Plymouth seems to be plagued with

Right chaps -time to start panicking.
The entry form for this needs to be in by the end of this month, so we need a list of those who can definitely come along & what they'll be bringing. Who's up for this?

Manky Monkey -Ford Popular pick-up & XS650 Yamaha chop.
Olds                -"Deliverance" Reliant trike.
Lunatic Senior  -1928 model A Ford sedan.

Manky Monkey -Ford Popular pick-up & XS650 Yamaha chop.
Olds                -"Deliverance" Reliant trike.
Lunatic Senior  -1928 model A Ford sedan.
Tom -XS650 Yamaha chop.

Humph ! He only calls Deliverance a Reliant trike because it annoys me. >:(
Going to start calling the Manky Pop a Land Rover pick-up. ;D

 ;D ;D ;D

I'd say it's Reliant based, but you'll only go & cast your own engine casings or something.  :P

Manky Monkey -Ford Popular pick-up & XS650 Yamaha chop.
Olds                -"Deliverance" Reliant ...absolutely nothing to do with Reliant whatsoever, trike.
Lunatic Senior  -1928 model A Ford sedan.
Tom -XS650 Yamaha chop.

;D ;D ;D


Manky Monkey -Ford Popular pick-up & XS650 Yamaha chop.
Olds                -Olds "Deliverance" pick-up trike.
Lunatic Senior  -1928 model A Ford sedan.
Tom                 -XS650 Yamaha chop.

Nobody up for this this year?

Ho hum. Not looking good is it. :(
A real shame as this is a very good do. With vehicles of all types, a reasonable autojumble, within easy walking distance of a large modern shopping centre (for those who don't want to stay at the show all day) and it's FREE for both exhibitors and visitors.
Being free always ensures a good turn out of interested public.

Maybe it's time to give the MMMotors pitch a rest? As you say, a shame after we've been there for around 10 years, but if we can't fill our pitch, maybe we should take a year off? If so though, we need to decide soon to give those listed time to enter individually if they want to.
Should we stay or should we go?

work dependent i will be up for this again  ;D ;)

Would be nice to see you mate.

if i get sorted out in time then i,m up for it  been planning the trip for some time  ,, just hope the plan comes together ,,

Fingers crossed then Mike.

If I'm not working, I could bring my new goldwing.  I know it's not a custom but wings are normally a draw.

Hi Si -where have you been?!
Mr Muffin also confirms he'll bring his black Reliant trike.

Long story mate.
Short version, we lost my mother in law in June 14, dad in Dec 14 and mum in March 15 all through cancer. Needless to say the family and I were not in a good place for some time and doing the probate for my parents myself took all my time and energy.
A few other of life's little problems came and kicked me In the nuts for good measure just to remind me who's boss.
Only just starting to get back to some kind of normal.

Sheesh. Well, welcome back mate.

My new ride (most of the chrome is now black and it has a black 6 into 6 cobra exhaust) courtesy of Mum & Dad.

Cheers Andy.  I am hopeful that I'll be able to get to Basingstoke and possibly the manky run to monkey word. (Am I to late to add my £10?).

Already paid Si, but you can buy the teas when we go if you like!

 ;D

So, would this be acceptable on the pitch?

Most definitely Chris.

Yours Phunkie?

Looks rather nice and a little bit trick me thinks... are the wheels "minilites" by chance?

The number of Magnettes we used to see ironed-up as stock cars back in the day was astounding, nice to see one in such good condition.  ;)

Yeh, got rid of the Roadster and bought this. It's not as good as it initially appears, though. The "Minilites" came with the car and have been replaced with some banded Magnette ones. The car is a little lower now as well. Lots of ideas in the pipeline. Another block and crank at Roes as we speak.
I have been lucky enough to be able to obtain pretty much all I need in second hand parts from an ex British stock car champion, I've known him for years, Gray Davis (his usage of cars was only one a year, believe it or not)

Anyway, there you go .............

Manky Monkey -Ford Popular pick-up & XS650 Yamaha chop.
Olds                -Olds "Deliverance" pick-up trike.
Lunatic Senior  -1928 model A Ford sedan.
Tom                 -XS650 Yamaha chop.
Twisted           - Titan trike.
goose             - yamaha xv 750
The Phunkies   - 1957 MG Magnette Varitone

My dad had a Magnette for a while - it was black, didn't look as good as your two-tone one!

The entry form has to be in by the 1st of April so I've dropped a note in at one of the organisers' houses explaining we haven't got many on our list yet this year but asking if we can have our normal pitch & we'll hopefully fill it on the day.

The organiser rang me this afternoon to confirm we can have a pitch without filling in the usual paperwork -in his words, We trust you lot.
So I assume we'll be in our usual spot. He says they'll allocate 24 vehicle passes to us nearer the time.
More names on the list please chaps :)

15 vehicle passes delivered, with more available if we need 'em.

Can I be a "probable, maybe"? working on the car at present and fighting a bad bout of vertigo does not go together well.

Take it easy mate. Of course. We've got a big pitch to fill & not many vehicles this year.

I love this show. It has a lot of character.  The interest in the Manky stand last year was brilliant.  Even if there is less in the Manky pitch this year there are still interesting vehicles to look at. It's also great to meet up with faces that perhaps we don't get to see at other meetings.

I would be sad if this show ever closed. I don't know how they do it. I think programme sales, stalls and parking are their only revenue plus they are always so well organised.

I will just be in my car parked in the disabled parking bit. If I could just bring my own loo with me, this show would be perfect!  8)  ;D

I agree Jay. It's easy to take events for granted when they're on your doorstep & it'd be a terrible shame if this one ever ceased to be. I try to support local things whenever I can, but we're struggling to fill the pitch this year. We've got a few friends of friends who have said they'll come along, but more Monkeys are always welcome.
Got no way of getting the Pop there again this year, so just my bike -assuming it's finished in time.

I might be able to bolster the ranks. I could bring either the Galaxie or I could bring some custom bicycles. If I can get the logistics sorted, I could bring them all.

Nine days to get it finished then.

I feel for you mate,I suffer with the same thing but not for some time now,Thank god.
What medication do you take,I take Betahistine Dihydrochloride and find them very good.

 :)

i will try and make it but not to happy travelling so far alone  and may only  bring ,,me,, and not much else ,,

unless i can get back and fetch my 99 year old stationary engine

O.K chaps. Last role call for this.
Really struggling to find exhibitors this time, so maybe we should make this the last one? We've had a pitch at this show for the last 10 years, so haven't done bad, but maybe we've just done it now. Not even sure my own motorcycle will be on show this time as I haven't got any way of getting it there unless I can get it running & MOT'd in the next couple of days. My Pop definitely won't be there.
I've got vehicle passes here, which just need the vehicle registration writing on them, so I can either post them out this week, or meet people at the entrance gate as we usually do.
So, who can definitely make it?

Sorry but I'm not sure that I can make it this year Andy.  :'(  Not mot'd. Nothing wrong with the trike, it's me thats unroadworthy. :( Will try my best and see what happens this week as I really want to be there.

Really not worth killing yourself over Dave -your health is more important. Get well soon eh.  ;)

We'll be there. We'll meet you at the gate. What time do we need to be there?

Everything to be onsite by 10.30 at the latest. I'm usually there by 8.30 -9 ish. Make it 9.
If there's only a few of us, we'll just have to move around a lot!
So

Manky -XS650 Yamaha.
Phunkie - MG Magnette.
Clive - motorcycle -?
Tom - XS650 Yamaha -if we can arrange to get it there.
Muffin - Reliant trike.
Craig - Titan trike.
Goose - Yamaha XV750.
Lunatic Senior - '28 Ford model A sedan.
Lunatic Senior's mate - Ford model A pick-up.

Have I forgotten anyone? Does anyone have a pop-up gazebo type thingy we can use for the day?

 ;D

all good for me and goose to come along as long as work dont get in the way. looking forward to it  ;D stuff to show you and that iv been doing  ;)

Great!

andy,

cheers

Will do Mike.

Bobbi, (BikerGran), is kindly bringing along a large tent/gazebo. It's forcast to be sunny at the moment, so we can shelter from the heat in there.  :)


Manky -XS650 Yamaha.
Phunkie - MG Magnette.
Clive - Suzuki Savage.
Tom - XS650 Yamaha.
Muffin - Reliant trike.
Craig - Titan trike.
Goose - Yamaha XV750.

Have you a post code for the sat nav 

RG21 4AG buddy

Couple of motorcycles loaded in a hire van, along with banners, a box of MMMotors T shirts & stickers & a couple of camping chairs. Could probably do with some sort of camping table if anyone has one.
I've got entry tickets so if you're bringing a vehicle along & the marshals don't wave you through as they normally do, give me a shout & I'll nip up to the gate with one. I'll aim to be there by 9. Everyone to be onsite by 10.30 absolute latest. We've got less vehicles than usual, so if you fancy bringing something unusual along, just turn up & join us. The show runs from 10.30 ish - 5ish. Free entry, with £2 parking. S'posed to be a lovely day tomorrow so come on down  ;)
Oh yeah, this year's trophy. We always throw something together at the last minute then decide who to give it to on the day, usually for enthusiastic support of the whole modified vehicle scene. As was suggested last year, this year's bling's been officially designated the Markju Memorial Trophy, in memory of former forum member Mark Juggins, who died of cancer 7 months ago. We're starting to forget who's already received one, so I'm throwing it open to you lot. Tell me who deserves it. Ideally someone who'll be there tomorrow, but if not, I'm happy to deliver it to the worthy recipient. Suggestions please, (PM me if you'd rather do it anonymously, but do it this evening). I'll email this photo to Mark's widow, just to prove we kept our promise.
See you bright 'n' early tomorrow chaps.  ;D

I've shoved a couple of tables in the car - just small ones.

Great. Thank you Bobbi.

Trophy looks good Andy. Tattoos look good too. Whose arm was that?

Did my shopping tonight so bought a big tray of doughnuts, a treacle tart and some mini choc rolls so that should help feed us. I did stress to the checkout lady that they weren't all for me. That's why I'm telling you now so I don't get tempted. :-[

Doughnuts !
I will be there.
Sans trike unfortunately but with a late 70s trail bike. Feel a bit of a fraud as it's not exactly customised but it's the best I can manage at the mo. :(
The well inked arm and grubby fingers belong to  'lunatic'. :)

Already here and parked up watching everything drive in. Fantastic Scammell just drove in. Massive. Only just got through the gap!

Wish I could get there to meet you all, hope you have a great day guys ;) ;)

andy,,you didnt pm, me youre contact details,,

Bugger. Really sorry mate.

Finally home after returning various motorcycles & vans & putting everything away. Absolutely shattered now. Partly the walking about & chatting all day but mostly the blazing heat -good job BikerGran & Chris's Dad brought gazebos so we had somewhere to shelter from the sun & eat cake.
I'll go through my photos tomorrow & post them here -did anyone else take any? -but for now, a huge heartfelt thank you to everyone who made the effort. Very proud of you all. ;D
Hope I managed to chat to everyone. I tried to say Goodbye to as many as I could. I had a great day, as always, & hope you did too. Thank you.

Oh & this year's trophy went to Lunatic Senior, who's 1928 model A Ford didn't quite make it the 3 miles across Basingstoke, leaving him waiting for his motor to cool down before limping home again, (condenser trouble).

Same time, same place next year chaps?

Yeah he broke down just about where I did the year my trike clutch cable went ping!

I took a few pics of the bikes and cars on the MMM stand - didn't phot anything else - it's always too much of a problem to know what NOT to phot!

Another great show where we got to meet up with fellow monkeys. Thanks Andy.
Jeez it was hot and I'm sure that some will be suffering from sunburn. Many thanks to Jay Jay and BG and anyone else who brought cakes and drinks to share. Much apreciated. No pic's from me as I forgot the camera this year. Do'h!

Yep,what Olds said it was good to meet up and talk to old and new monkeys, i haven't spoken to Goose, Clive or Lunatic before, nice to meet you all.
Thanks Andy and co for putting it all together, still a good show of vehicles for the pitch and somewhere for us monkeys to gather. Wouldn't be the same without the pitch, once again thanks Andy for getting it all together.

 :) What a great day, my first wonder round the rally I was greeted by a chap with a long beard like my own he was exhibiting a steam roller, his words were Manky Monkey Motors having read this on my t shirt, I always go on that site to look at the photos, just goes to show we are looked at by the outside world.
Good to meet and have a chat with fellow Monkeys thank you all for making it a great day :) :-*

yeah a great day out and a fantastic ride there and back (apart from being cut up on a roundabout and having to chase the driver to inform him of his mistake  >:()
always look forward to this show and meeting up with everyone.
cheers dave for identifying and supplying the obscure nut needed to fit the bolt welded to the frame of my trike  ;) :-*
here are a few i took.

 :) Nice photos, the tractor with the art work belongs to a friend of ours, the last sort of person that I would have thought would have that put all over a tractor, although saying that he owns the Ford Mustang engine trike that was on show as well.

did anyone get any photo,s of goose,s  bike

Well if you looked as menacing in their rear view mirror as you did when you drove onto the Manky pitch then it's a wonder you managed to catch up with them at all!  We all know you are a cuddly bunny really.  :)

It was a lovely day. As always great to see those who were able to make it. Nice to see some partners too, Mike, Sharon, Jane (also Mum) and Sue.

The display looked great even though there was less to be displayed. If only we had known Basil with the Mustang trike and Sarah Jane with a Hornet were stuck for somewhere to park. I am sure we would have welcomed them.

Plenty of interest though especially lots of questions for Pete. We were a bit worried when he disappeared because those of us sitting in the shade would get asked instead.  ???

Thanks to Andy for organising it as always. One benefit for your hard work, you haven't got to buy any food for a couple of days and with all that sugar you will have loads of energy to get lots of jobs done.

Regarding what you said recently, you are not really thinking of calling time on the Manky Pitch are you? Just think of all the projects that will be ready for next year. Well probably not the pop .... :P  ;)
JJ x

Didn't actually take any cake home with me, although there's a little in Loon's workshop fridge. We managed to distribute most of it to the needy :)
I say it every year Jay -as the numbers dwindle it gets tougher to motivate the rest to take part & we have to call in more non forum members, which kinda defeats the point of it all. It's not really much to organise -the biggest job for me is moving my own unfinished projects about before & after the event -& I do enjoy it on the day & appreciate all those who come along, but we really do need more vehicles! :)

pencil me in for next year,,i would have come this year

 :)

Here's a promise and I can hear Chevy Rick laughing as he reads this; next year I'll come to the shindig on my trike! And no I am not writing this in my sleep!  :P

Shame that you didn't come Mike, you could have got a good look at Twisted's trike (and Goose's bike. sorry no pics)


Hopefully that won't be a problem by next year Andy. The bike is nearly done so that just leaves the Pop. (and custom trailer for the XS  ;) )
Baychimp's trike should also be on the road by then (It will, won't it Bob)
Barring some disaster I'm up for next year with the trike or something, but I realise that unless there are enough vehicles to fill the pitch we may have to call it a day.

i have faith in us as a group. we WILL return next next year and there WILL BE plenty of vehicles and projects on the stand for the public to view, admire and envy.  ;)
heres to the next one.  8)

Here, here......

And next year I WILL have some sort of campervan to put on show, even though I haven't built it myself!


And if you don't feel fit enough to ride it that far (and so early in the morning!) - you could put it on the dolly and bring it that way!

Oh, alright then - but I will remind you of all those rash promises!

My snapshots, (there's lots of 'em I'm afraid).

Right, that's my lot. So next year we get organised early & do this thing properly! -maybe. Thanks again to everyone who supported us, either by bringing along a vehicle, or just taking the time to come & say Hello. It was a pleasure.  :-*

Great shots Andy, thanks to all for sharing. Really must get my ar*e in gear for next year and make the effort.

Great pics Andy. Shame I couldn't get there this year, I didn't get back to Basingstoke until 5:30 and by that time you had all b--gered  off.

Feckity feck feck feck.     Just come on to see when this was, as I wanted to do it this year, I wish I could get my life in order ....just once  ::) ::)
