Oooh its getting closer, and I'm getting nervous. Look out for me with my Old Manor Cafe display, and come and say hello, (preferably with a cup of tea, white, one sugar and a bag of mini doughnuts).  |

Good to see everyone from here who went. Janie had a thriving stall going for her Manor Cafe website and was a welcome respite from the rain under her gazebo. Sorry we didn't get this on line last night but our internet was down but here is what we have so far - http://www.mankymonkeymotors.co.uk/photos.htmRick and Steve's photos to add when we get them in the post. |

As Taz mentioned, it rained all day at Wheels Day this year. A shame but not unexpected -being held during the Easter Bank Holiday weekend, a deluge is almost innevitable. Certainly didn't stop the rods & Kustoms coming out to play though. We queued for an hour & a half through Aldershot to get into the arena. Passed several big Yank motors boiling over at the roadside -must sort out some decent cooling for Taz's Charger before it hits the streets. A lousy day for photography -binned loads of shots that would've been great had they not been in rain-on-the-lens soft focus. We met up with lots & lots of familiar faces & names from various forums. We've noticed it's starting to take longer & longer to work our way around showfields -the more owners & builders we get to know, the more chat-stops we end up making. Fortunately most guys want to talk to Tanya, leaving me free to slope off & take piccies.  The Mopar Muscle Association fielded at least 6 '68 Chargers, plus various other muscle-bound motors. One of their members brought along a set of exterior door handles for Taz's project. Result! Managed to get through the day without buying more than a bag of donuts & a coffee -also a result. A good day out, but it'll be so much better when we can roll through the gate in our own motors.  |

The story behind the tailgate text?
Apparently the builder's wife passed away but made him promise to have the car ready for WheelsDay.

From the time I arrived yesterday at 7.30am on the Enfield, til the time we packed away at 3.30pm, the rain just didn't stop! There was a steady stream of water running down the concrete slope and the arena was becoming very boggy indeed. The weather was appalling and even though I managed to keep my spirits up, the rain really got to some people!  |
