As it's Big Al's memorial show, plus the pub's open again, (just wasn't the same when it wasn't), I'll be there Dan. Taz may have to stay home to see a man about her Charger engine though. I think Mr Lunatic will be there too.
See you Sunday.  ;)

Looking forward to a day at the sea-side.
Taz can't make it cos she's entertaining two fellas in the barn while I'm gone -Stroker Blue & one of the Mopar Association guys are coming to check her Charger engines over for us.
Lunatic will be at Hayling too, so you'll have someone to talk V Dubs with.  ;)

JJ and I had a lovely time at Hayling.  The weather could have been better but it was a definite improvement on last year!  ::)  The turn out was very good which I think was testament to Big Al's popularity and how much he is missed. 

It was good to see some fellow Mankies and I am sure there will be plenty of photos for the event.  I will be sending a disk soon.

There was a good variety of vehicles - many I had not seen before.

Alfie came with us but we think he would have preferred his usual walk though he did get to meet some interesting dogs including a very nice lady English Bull Terrier.


Victory Wheelers Tent and Band - The band were excellent and provided some great music:

Well it is all about cars this meet - isn't it?:

I expect a lot of people said this about a lot of the vehicles today - perhaps without the GOT IT part:

Very tasty:

Outside and in - so clean:

I think the sunglasses were for the bright yellow of the car not the sun - but these two young ladies look happy:

Someone let me out - please!:

All the Fords:

Thank You

To the 300 or so cars that turned up today.

Today was the Victory Wheelers Tribute to Big Al, our former chairman, and we are pleased everyone did him proud with the largest attendance to date at this venue.

A big thank you to the local council too, who kindly extended the parking area for us to include virtually the entire sea front :D

Roll on Beaulieu, book now if you haven't already done so!

Lunatic & I had a great day at t'seaside too. Many thanks to Dan & the boys. A fitting tribute to Al.
He'd have loved it. :)
Taz couldn't make it, so Loony took over with camera number 2 for the day.

And Ellie & Jimmy from Valley Gas Speed Shop brought their Ford Falcon, complete with window mounted 50s air conditioning.
Apparently the tarmac was very slippery as they seemed to spin their wheels a bit as they left.  :D
