I feel sorry for the Surrey Street Rodders who undoubtedly worked hard to arrange this year's Wheels Day but I think all the upset did put a lot of people off, even those who had been accepted and offered a ticket. I think a lot of people didn't understand why their mates ride had been accepted and their 'better' one hadn't been.
The weather didn't help things but in previous years we have always supported Wheels Day whatever the weather.
I could understand it if they do call it quits this time - for good. I know they can't go backwards because of the constraints placed on them by the police and the MOD but perhaps they went too far the other way this time. Maybe they just needed to flog a given number of tickets offering them to clubs first by a certain date and then on a first come first served basis to custom/classic vehicles on the understanding if they misrepresented their vehicle they would be turned away at the gate with no refund.
Whatever they decide, I would just like to say I have really enjoyed all the Wheels Days I have been to at Rushmore Arena and it is sad to not have the event as it used to be. A real loss to the season's calendar.

The Rods n Sods forum had a couple of pics of my friend Chris' Austin Special. Chris is fairly local to Rushmoor, tho he had planned to take a couple of vehicles to Popham, but without a roof they kinda ain't best suited to the wetness that the Bank Hol threw at us, so when there was a break in the proceedings he, and his brother in the BSA three wheeler, nipped along to the SSR bash. BSA is still to be upholstered, and Austin will be wearing a paint job in the near future He runs a business building bespoke bodywork for vehicles such as this. All the body work was made by hand. Company name - Bespoke Bodywork http://www.bespoke-bodywork.co.uk/Piccies courtesy of Rods & Sods |
