So, would this be acceptable on the pitch?

Yours Phunkie?

Looks rather nice and a little bit trick me thinks... are the wheels "minilites" by chance?

The number of Magnettes we used to see ironed-up as stock cars back in the day was astounding, nice to see one in such good condition.  Wink

Yeh, got rid of the Roadster and bought this. It's not as good as it initially appears, though. The "Minilites" came with the car and have been replaced with some banded Magnette ones. The car is a little lower now as well. Lots of ideas in the pipeline. Another block and crank at Roes as we speak.
I have been lucky enough to be able to obtain pretty much all I need in second hand parts from an ex British stock car champion, I've known him for years, Gray Davis (his usage of cars was only one a year, believe it or not)

Anyway, there you go .............

My dad had a Magnette for a while - it was black, didn't look as good as your two-tone one!

The entry form has to be in by the 1st of April so I've dropped a note in at one of the organisers' houses explaining we haven't got many on our list yet this year but asking if we can have our normal pitch & we'll hopefully fill it on the day.

The organiser rang me this afternoon to confirm we can have a pitch without filling in the usual paperwork -in his words, We trust you lot.
So I assume we'll be in our usual spot. He says they'll allocate 24 vehicle passes to us nearer the time.
More names on the list please chaps Smiley

Can I be a "probable, maybe"? working on the car at present and fighting a bad bout of vertigo does not go together well.

Take it easy mate. Of course. We've got a big pitch to fill & not many vehicles this year.

I love this show. It has a lot of character.  The interest in the Manky stand last year was brilliant.  Even if there is less in the Manky pitch this year there are still interesting vehicles to look at. It's also great to meet up with faces that perhaps we don't get to see at other meetings.

I would be sad if this show ever closed. I don't know how they do it. I think programme sales, stalls and parking are their only revenue plus they are always so well organised.

I will just be in my car parked in the disabled parking bit. If I could just bring my own loo with me, this show would be perfect!  Cool  Grin

I agree Jay. It's easy to take events for granted when they're on your doorstep & it'd be a terrible shame if this one ever ceased to be. I try to support local things whenever I can, but we're struggling to fill the pitch this year. We've got a few friends of friends who have said they'll come along, but more Monkeys are always welcome.
Got no way of getting the Pop there again this year, so just my bike -assuming it's finished in time.

I might be able to bolster the ranks. I could bring either the Galaxie or I could bring some custom bicycles. If I can get the logistics sorted, I could bring them all.
