I just linked it to the calandar.
Only just found out it was on, so hopefully we'll be there.

Me, SWMBO, and two of the kids will be there monday!

We might go, prolly Monday as the forecast is better - well, drizzle in morning but a sunny afternoon and much warmer than tomorrow.  Nice little trip out for Michael's motor.

JayJay and I went on the Sunday but the weather was poor - overcast and wet at times so only took a few photographs.  Also many vehicles that were there I have snapped before, having covered this rally a number of times.

Met up with with BoopoopadoopGal, Dave Postie and their friend Keith and we had a laugh while sheltering in a nice big tent that had been erected for people to eat their grub.

Chatted with Justine from Hampshire Bygones who informed me she was hoping to take pictures of the event on Monday for their forum because the weather forecast was looking good.  However as I write this post, the weather is worse than yesterday so it is not looking promising for her.  The presentation of their pitch was very nice.  It included two very good condition Portafold caravans which they were also living in during the holiday weekend.

The auto jumble seemed bigger this year and even though the stalls were often covered in tarpaulin because of the rain, people (including us) were buying loads of stuff before retreating to vehicles to stash the booty.

Disc to follow Andy ...

Looks like a good day out Rick, whatever the weather.

We had a great afternoon there, really hot sunshine!  But I forgot my camera so I've only got a few phots I took on my phone.

I liked this little car, amnd the trike looks good even if it's not an Indian - think we've seen this one before.

A ge-nu-ine Plastic Pig and a rather nattily fitted out Mini trailer.

Rotax Greaves motorcycle and I just liked the comment on this car's wing!  (not sure if it's readable on the phone pic tho.

What'd it say Bobbi? Shame you didn't get more piccies -good enough quality for a photo gallery.
Yes, The little red "Indian" Reliant trike was at the Southampton MAG bike show a few months ago, (on again next weekend I think).
The beige Reliant was on Ebay recently. It's a spoof of the Land cruiser in Star Wars & was built for someone's Wedding or Stag do or something. The rear "engine pods" are actually 2 plastic buckets back to back. I love it! 

was gonna post a pic of the indian trike but no need to oh what the hell i will. took about 1000 pics but after having gone through them some have been deleted. the 1/3rd scale model jeep was excellent that guy is one hell of a model maker as he hand made every item. he said the 'jeep police' were well impressed. weather was crap on sunday damn cold in the tent sat night. got some pics of the sky divers and the guy on the quad

i quite like this one i took, me knees allowed me to get down to take it  :)

Cool pics Dave. Some nice detailing on the "Indian".
