Just got through the post from the BMW owners club a pass to this show to put my car in it. I can't go on the Sunday as will be working but will be there on the Bank Holiday Monday If anyone wants a lift let me know. I have to be there by 9.30 am

Taz do the organisers of this show have a web site?

The only thing that came through the post was the pass to get in and a note with directions but on that note  was a contact number - 01245 350830

The pass I have allows free entry.

hey twisted, sorry its a bit late but does this help?]

I will be here today with the Chevy ;D

We'll look out for you Rick.  ;)

We (the mag rabble) went to the romsey show yesterday ,Was nice and relaxing .It would have been nice to go today as well but unfortunly i had to work a six am shift >:( but at least i now have SUNDAY THE 2nd OFF  FOR OUR BIKE SHOW(just a little reminder!).Hope to see you all there buying lots of raffle tickets and burgers. Rose :D :D :D

Hi Rose. We'll do our bestest to be there, honest!
Sorry we missed you at the Romsey show. We had a good day. Tazet's BMW was on the owners club stand, so we had to be there by 9.30 in the morning & couldn't leave till 5 in the evening. A long day in the blazing sun, especially as I'm still recovering from Tonsillitis & feeling kinda weak & feeble at the moment. Taz & I both ended up sunburnt by the end of the day. Lots to look at & people to chat to. I don't think it was quite as big as last year's show, but still very enjoyable. We bumped into Chevy Rick in the carpark. Good to see you again Sir  ;)
A few photos in the Rally/Show Photos bit soon.

My favourite car of the day had to be this enormous 1920s "White" I think.
6 cylinders. 2 1/2 litres per cylinder. It must be truly terrifying to drive. :o

.

Or maybe this gorgeous Willys Knight?
Loved the triangular headlights. The sidelights & rear lights all matched.

Hi ya, First time that we have been to the romsey show it was good but not enough classic bikes there .Next year we are hoping to display the MAG stand there along with NABD and various owners clubs(well thats my plan).RE your tonsillitis try taking multi vit;s with Iron for awhile or even better invest in a juicer and double up on your veg /fruit intake. Antibiotics are needed when the body can't fight an illness but unfortunly they kick the poo outta your imune system.Trust me i know from the operation that i had back in march.Perhaps i should have been a doctor instead of wasting my talents as a post  :Doffice counter slave!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See you all on sunday i hope . Rose.

Or how about this 1970s kit car, the FieldMouse, based on a Ford Prefect & one of only 3 left from the original 9 produced?

Oh Gawd not another Post Office employee!
Yeah, I know I sound like I'm whinging, (O.K, I am whinging), but I don't get ill very often & this has really just knocked me for 6. Spent 2 weeks hardly able to get out of bed & still getting out of breath doing the simplest things. Walking round the show all day was a real effort. I usually have a pretty junky diet so yup, more fruit & veg I think.
A few more snaps.
Nice little triumph Herald engined bus kept the kids happy all day.

Hi Mankey, the 1920's white is owned by a guy who lives in Otterbourne he came into our garage for fuel on his way to the show yesterday was well worth working the 6am shift just to see a decent car on the forecourt! rose :)

Icecream matey sold us some icecreams called  "FATBOYS" Bloody great big things for four quid. Felt real sick afterwards though as we had just been on the dodgems!!

Yeah, Taz & I tried a fatboy each at the Victory Wheelers' show, (also held at Broadlands), a couple of weeks ago. Very nice, but we were very nearly sick afterwards. Guess you really can have too much of a good thing.
I would've loved to see the White on the move. Must be a nightmare to control in traffic.
Always looking for unusual motors to feature on the site if you spot anything on your travels.

My Daughter owns a ferenzia (think that is hows its spelt) i will try and get her to send me some pic's to display.

A Vauxhall Firenza?
Sort of sporty version of the Viva?
Yes please, some words & a dozen nice piccies of anything you think would interest us & we'll make up a page for it in the Motors section. 

May take a few days as she lives up north now and they can be abit slowwwwwwwwwwwww in responding!

Yes It was a very tiring day Manky's first day out since he's been ill and me covered in bruises and aching muscles from having an accident at the competition with work on the Sunday so I was glad to get there so early as it ment that we didn't have to rush about. " advantages with having your car on show. One -you get in free and the other -you don't have to lug everything about all day as you just dump it in the car boot. ;D and it gives you somewhere to rest while you have your lunch. In the galery you can see me cleaning the car, well some bright spark thought if they wet the ground as it would dampen the dust down. Well it did that alright and it made it muddy instead  :'( oh well.
The GT40 was wicked but not something you would use if you are dressed up to go out in ,(skirts a no no). The foot pedals are off set to the left and you really wouldn't want to have big feet to drive it. Once you manage to get in though the seats are very comfy.  ;D
I did suggest to Manky that maybe next year we have a forum stand, same as what we did at Basingstoke FT but thats next year, who knows.  ;D

Please don't mention those Fatboy ice creams. I still feel sick at the thought of them.

sorry i missed it nightmare day

Not had a good weekend Dave?
No probs, we'll catch up with you at another show I'm sure. ;)
