Title: Wheels Day 2006. Post by: Manky Monkey on December 11, 2005, 02:59:14 PM I've missed this one for the last few years cos it clashes with other events but Flap & I will be there this time.
Organised by the Surrey Street Rodders, the 32nd anniversary Wheels Day will be held at the Rushmoor Arena, just off the A 323 in Aldershot, Hants on Good Friday, (I've got an American bike calendar here that shows that as 14th April -is that right?). Open 10 - 4 officially but loads of cars arrive before then. 5 quid per person. Trade stalls, music, food, funfair etc. Last year's attracted 2000+ vehicles. Street rods, yanks, bikes, trikes, vans, classics, dragsters etc. Photos from 2005 here: http://www.freewebs.com/wheelsday/ Title: Re: Wheels Day 2006.

(http://www.freewebs.com/wheelsday/No%20burnouts.JPG) bugger that, sounds like a bunch of grumpy old men >:( Title: Re: Wheels Day 2006. Post by: Manky Monkey on December 11, 2005, 05:34:56 PM You Sir, are an 'ooligan!
Think the showground belongs to the Army. No burnouts rule will be to keep the powers that be happy, not the choice of the drivers. I used to go to this one when it was at Slyfield Green in Guildford. In the middle of a cattle market & retail park. They had to move it when they outgrew the site. Cars were parked up all over the place disrupting people's Sunday shopping at B & Q. I haven't been to it at Rushmoor but imagine it's worth a look. Title: Re: Wheels Day 2006.

Title: Re: Wheels Day 2006. Post by: Manky Monkey on December 11, 2005, 07:23:53 PM So is Good Friday definitely on 14th April? I thought it was at the end of April -I'm sure this show normally clashes with the Shepton Mallet one, which I why I haven't done it for a few years.
Title: Re: Wheels Day 2006. Post by: BikerGran on December 11, 2005, 09:42:27 PM Yep, Good Friday is 14 April - Bike Show Southwest as they casll it now is 29/30 April.
Only been to that bike show once and didn't think much of it tbh. Title: Re: Wheels Day 2006. Post by: Manky Monkey on December 12, 2005, 01:55:45 PM Ooh, you're a hard lady to please Bobbi! :)
I first did the Shepton show when I was about 20 I think -yeah, THAT long ago! Used to be entirely organised by one lady -think her name was Liz, & it was great. It was THE season opener that everyone strove to have their new projects ready for -similar to the Welsh National now. Then the Angels took it over & it's changed hands several times since. Slowly gone downhill. It's not the show it once was, but still not bad for an afternoon out. I still use it as a target date to get my bikes back on the road. Got Highly Commended with my green trike there a couple of years ago. Really hoping we can have most if not all of the Manky trikes sorted by then. Title: Re: Wheels Day 2006. Post by: lunatic on April 05, 2007, 03:55:01 PM Right whos going then? Ill be there with a couple of me mates and the Lunatic family, I belive Panthershaun and Hayley, Janie and dave postie, any others?
Title: Re: Wheels Day 2006. Post by: Manky Monkey on April 05, 2007, 04:01:40 PM Blimey, this is an old thread.
Yup, we'll see you there. Flap will be there on his trike -if he pulls his digit out & gets his brakes fixed today. Nige on his trike too I think. And maybe even Simon on his. Tazet & I will be in the Fester van. :( We'll probably leave Basingstoke around 10. Maybe. Title: Re: Wheels Day 2006. Post by: tazet on April 05, 2007, 04:13:48 PM We could always take mine.
Title: Re: Wheels Day 2006. Post by: lunatic on April 05, 2007, 04:55:09 PM We are going to meet at junction 5. Turn right at the roundabout and we are going to meet in the layby at the end of the little bit of dual carriageway. look out for the Lunatic bimmer, the red, red rover and my mate, carltons beetle.
Title: Re: Wheels Day 2006. Post by: BikerGran on April 05, 2007, 07:31:22 PM Erm - is this thread about Wheels day 2007? or Bike Show Southwest? And if it's Wheels, when and where is it?
Title: Re: Wheels Day 2006. Post by: Manky Monkey on April 05, 2007, 10:59:28 PM It's about WheelsDay, but Loony's dragged up a thread about last year's show.
It's tomorrow, (Good Friday), Rushmoor Arena, Aldershot. 10am onwards. The 3 musketeers, (Flap, Ska Man & Simon, (who's recently joined the forum as "Muffin"), have decided they'll be leaving Basingstoke at 12 noon, so Tazzie & I will be following in the van. Title: Re: Wheels Day 2006. Post by: Manky Monkey on April 07, 2007, 02:30:01 PM Great show. Write up soon, but photos here:

He sent me this email: Taken from "Drag,Rod and Custom on line" site wheels day review. We have had a new modem , new wireless router and new Aol package but still have very limited and patchy service, council dug the landline up whilst laying new roadway and O2 managed to cut off both phones and then try to reallocate the numbers , considering reverting to pigeons or runners with cleft stick . We are at the track for the first time this season this coming weekend, anyone else ? Steve |
