Look out for me with my Old Manor Cafe display, and come and say hello, (preferably with a cup of tea, white, one sugar and a bag of mini doughnuts). ;D Title: Re: Wheels day 10th April 2009, Rushmoor arena, Aldershot Post by: panthershaun on April 07, 2009, 08:14:40 AM don't think I can make it this year :'( :'( need to spend time on the Pop if I want to get it ready for the Hayride ::) ::)

Sorry we didn't get this on line last night but our internet was down but here is what we have so far - http://www.mankymonkeymotors.co.uk/photos.htm Rick and Steve's photos to add when we get them in the post. Title: Re: Wheels day 10th April 2009, Rushmoor arena, Aldershot Post by: Manky Monkey on April 11, 2009, 01:54:10 PM As Taz mentioned, it rained all day at Wheels Day this year. A shame but not unexpected -being held during the Easter Bank Holiday weekend, a deluge is almost innevitable. Certainly didn't stop the rods & Kustoms coming out to play though. We queued for an hour & a half through Aldershot to get into the arena. Passed several big Yank motors boiling over at the roadside -must sort out some decent cooling for Taz's Charger before it hits the streets.
A lousy day for photography -binned loads of shots that would've been great had they not been in rain-on-the-lens soft focus. We met up with lots & lots of familiar faces & names from various forums. We've noticed it's starting to take longer & longer to work our way around showfields -the more owners & builders we get to know, the more chat-stops we end up making. Fortunately most guys want to talk to Tanya, leaving me free to slope off & take piccies. :) The Mopar Muscle Association fielded at least 6 '68 Chargers, plus various other muscle-bound motors. One of their members brought along a set of exterior door handles for Taz's project. Result! Managed to get through the day without buying more than a bag of donuts & a coffee -also a result. A good day out, but it'll be so much better when we can roll through the gate in our own motors. 8) Title: Re: Wheels day 10th April 2009, Rushmoor arena, Aldershot Post by: Manky Monkey on April 11, 2009, 01:55:12 PM .

Apparently the builder's wife passed away but made him promise to have the car ready for WheelsDay. Title: Re: Wheels day 10th April 2009, Rushmoor arena, Aldershot Post by: Manky Monkey on April 11, 2009, 01:57:48 PM .

Title: Re: Wheels day 10th April 2009, Rushmoor arena, Aldershot Post by: Plainy Janie on April 11, 2009, 04:24:17 PM From the time I arrived yesterday at 7.30am on the Enfield, til the time we packed away at 3.30pm, the rain just didn't stop! There was a steady stream of water running down the concrete slope and the arena was becoming very boggy indeed. The weather was appalling and even though I managed to keep my spirits up, the rain really got to some people! :(
