Soon turned into another scorcher of a day though. Nice little show. One I'd put on my "nice little afternoon out" list I think. Not huge, but lots of variety & enthusiasm. Some interesting machinery. As the arena commentator said, there seems to be a resurgence in the classic car scene at the moment, with more vehicles than ever being restored & regularly used, which can only be a good thing. The steam scene seems equally popular -always good to see lots of kids riding on their Grandad's road roller or showman's engine. They'll be the restorers of the future. We'll store the photos for now & get them online as soon as we've sorted the rest of the website. Nice to see you, Neil & Justine by the way, as well as several other familiar faces.

Title: Re: 47th annual Woodcote steam rally 10-11 July '10 Post by: Manky Monkey on July 11, 2010, 11:09:59 PM Anyone remember the mid mounted V8 milkfloat from the custom shows of the late 70s? Was it Ray Christopher who built it? Memory's getting a bit hazy these days. Pretty sure this ain't the original. Waited all afternoon to see it on the move, but the owners seemed quite happy to just sit & enjoy the sunshine. There should be more wacky vehicles like this on the roads.

Title: Re: 47th annual Woodcote steam rally 10-11 July '10 Post by: NeilG on July 12, 2010, 09:25:36 PM I think there was 3 or 4 different milk floats done over the years,can't remember were i saw it but recently saw a pic of the original float under a sheet in a garden.I'm sure it was about to be redone.
There was also one at Extreme wheels when it was at Ally pally. Title: Re: 47th annual Woodcote steam rally 10-11 July '10 Post by: NeilG on July 12, 2010, 09:35:23 PM Found it ;D
