My favourite car of the weekend. Co-built by the guy responsible for the current incarnation of "Rubellion". A Fordson van, roof chopped by 7 inches using the top corners from a black taxi cab roof, with a home built pick up bed -the young owner's first attempt at bead rolling. A Volvo engine I think. Really hope the write-up on this one arrives as promised.

got admit that was my favourite as well ;D ;D though no good for me as I can't fit Bobcat in the back ::) have to say I think Hotrod shows are for me, love the atmosphere and the style of bikes that turn up are really what I'm into ;D ;D

Humber Super Snipe?
I've been a biker since I was 17 & always loved bikes, but must admit, Taz & I find rod shows more fun than bike ones. Totally different atmosphere -no one's got anything to prove, they're all there just to have fun, no attitudes. I take a lot more "People Piccies" at car shows cos people are happy to chat -at bike shows they're too busy trying to look tough. Not ranting -just my opinion as someone involved in both scenes.

Loved this little roof chopped Moggy Minor van. Subtle enough that you could almost walk past without noticing the work done.

Still my favourite -called "Truck Ugly". Not yet roadworthy so trailered to the event. Wasn't allowed to race because it didn't have a protective hoop around the propshaft, (to protect the driver should the prop give way under the stress of racing). Got lots of attention just cruising around the pits though.

Lunatic, who knows these things, says the Fiat's owned by Pete the Greek from "Cog Box". It runs a 2332cc VW engine & box with Weber 48s & Erco wheels.
Apparently.
