Another great WheelsDay show, courtesy of the hard working chaps of the Surrey Street Rodders. They've been cursed by bad weather for the last few years, with attendances down & show cars heading for home by early afternoon. Their offerings to the sun gods obviously worked this year though, with show goers baking in the blazing sun & caterers running short of cold drinks & ice cream within the first few hours.
After queuing for around an hour to get into the Rushmoor Arena site each year, (owned by the Ministry of Defence -I used to go to Military displays here as a kid), I hatched a new plan this time, cunningly oversleeping & arriving around 11.o.clock to drive straight in. Sneaky Monkey.
Some truly beautiful machines there. As one of the first big custom/classic shows of the year, everyone seems to pull out all the stops to be there. Loony & I were still in 2 minds -well, I suppose we would be -about taking the Pop along to cruise the show site in, up to just a few days ago. Rather wisely for us, we decided it ain't well behaved enough to risk getting anywhere near all those shiney motors yet.
Lots of forum members there.
Nice to see Kapri -thanks for the big bag of electrical connectors Kev.
Mr Renegade in his Triumph saloon, now a regular sight at just about every show in the entire country.

We enjoyed it. Will put some of our pics up later.
Didn't see any of you lot but parked up the pheonix Trike in the bike park near the top of the hill as the bike park at the bottom of the hill was full!

I seed you guys but lost sight of you in the crowds.
Kalvin brought along his gorgeous Chevy cab-over truck, now running diesel Ford Transit power I'm told.

...and many, many more. Derek was there. One of Taz's fellow Mopar Muscle Association members, he was recently attacked late one evening in London & his beloved '69 Dodge Charger vandalised. Thankfully both Del & the Dodge are now fully recovered & looking beautiful again.  |

In fact I counted almost a dozen Chargers among the rows of gleaming classic Yanks.
A '68 & a '69 -yeah, I'm geeky enough to know the difference.

Another '68. I loved this low key version -not sure if it's a bottom of the range model, but it's quite refreshing to see one that hasn't been dressed up with all the macho, "my motor's bigger than yours" stuff. Only the red band tyres, a signature of classic muscle cars, belie it's humble looks.

My Dad had one of these. Mark 4 Zephyr I think. I remember sliding up & down the bench seats as a kid when we went round corners -in those far off days before compulsory seatbelts.
