Title: Surrey Street Rodders' Picnic Run NEW DATE- Sunday 17th Oct '10
Post by: Manky Monkey on October 10, 2010, 09:25:22 PM
Meet at the cafe, Blackbushe Airport, on the A30 between Basingstoke, Hants & Camberley, Surrey.
8 - 8.30am, ready to depart at 9am.
The run takes the form of a treasure hunt, following a page of directions & clues, stopping at various points of interest along the way, & finishing at a suitably auto related mystery destination.
Entry is free.
Oh, & expect to cover maybe 30 or 40 miles so a reliable machine would be a good idea!

Yup, a big thank you to the boys & girls of the Surrey Street Rodders for another well organised, interesting & fun day out -& it didn't cost us a penny.
The trip was re-scheduled after being cancelled because of heavy rain a couple of weeks ago. In contrast, today we were treated to bright sunshine, so it was worth the wait.
The run consisted of a series of directions, with clues to be found along the way. There were several stops enroute, visiting local hotrod workshops -fascinating to see who's building what & how many shops there are in the Surrey/Berkshire area -you'd never know most were there unless you had directions. We called in at The Mustang Workshop, Andy Robinson Race Cars & Wyliez Customs, where a free lunch was laid on courtesy of Derek's latest "teardrop" burger wagon. In the workshop, members of the Beaters car club were busy roof chopping a '50 shoebox Ford -maybe not just for our entertainment, but very interesting to see in progress.
Then it was on to Milestones Museum in Basingstoke, Hants, where we got discounted entry.
Taz & I rode in Renegade's faithful old Triumph saloon, so another thank you to him for chauffeuring us about all day -as a small token of our thanks we gave him the box of chocolates we won for getting the most clues right -after we'd eaten half of them.
A really enjoyable day out in good company. Can't wait to do next year's run in our own hotrod.
Thanks SSR.  ;)

Some lovely understated details in this motor, worth speaking with the owner ( Dave) about his 'Faux stock' approach.

Nope, not an Essex, check out the header spacing, it's running a rare mid year Buick Oddfire 231 ,it's basically a 350 with 2 cylinders chopped off , unusual exhaust note ,more like several Harley revving up together   :)
