Errrr......ummmmm.......maybe the location and what the event is?

You did us proud last time (Trough of Bowland) and thanks from me, Will and Granddad (who thought the day worth it for the steam bus alone)

Heskin Hall traction and vintage vehicle rally, Heskin Hall, Wood Lane, Nr. Eccleston, Chorley, Lancashire PR7 5PA

Glad that you enjoyed Chipping Mike, the bus was superb wasn't it. Heskin is smaller but still fun. Sunday has the most exibits, so i'm expecting to go then depending on the weather.

Ooops forgot to say that old farts get in cheaper...............

Thanks Mel for reminding us about the steam fair. quick decision by Dabs to go ,phoned me 9.30 Sunday morning did i want to go, 10.30 on our way. long journey all of 10 miles
Parked up in a smashing spot, went for a quick walk round, met Mel (greatpretender) then back for a cuppa , then surprise, cabte (Carl and Justine) turned up, parked near us, we went and finished the walk around then went back for another cuppa and was chatting away to Carl and Justine in the sunshine for a good couple of hours, smashing day out, not planned and ended up with a mini meet , brill. A few pics that i took between cuppas (cheers dabs).





BEST PUT A COUPLE OF PICS OF STEAM ENGINES IN THE POST AS WELL.



WAS CURIOUS ABOUT THIS, THEN FOUND IT WAS A BARBEQUE.

WELL ITS DIFFERENT, DUNNO IF THEY WOULD GET INTO THE CARAVAN CLUB WITH IT.

AND FINALY A PIC OF THE BONGO'S DABS ,DBO AND CABTE.

Big thanks to Mel (TGP) for posting up about this one,its a great day out!!Glad we found you in the end Mel.

Few pics from me as well!!,really good to see Cabte Carl and Justine today too,unexpected but a great suprise,good to see you guys!! Well done with the conversion too its lookin good!!













Cheers
Dabs

Looks like it was a great day - I know a little one that would have loved it!

Glad you guys n girl enjoyed it, just goes to show you can't trust the weather forcast............
Just a few pics of what I thought intresting.


Very pretty Austin 7.


Nice Super Sport Morgan with some modern updates.


Very nice Norton.


For a kit car the panel fit and bodywork was superb.


Now this is an enigma, it is a Bitza. Chassis and running gear Austin 12, tub Bentley, front wings are Ford model T rear wings and the rears are Rolls Royce. It looks right and like a barn find, fooled me for a while............but that aint hard.


For me this little unpretentious moped was the star of the show. For a utilitarian machine it was designed an built to a very high standard.

Wow - total nostaligia - we had an Austin 7 called Brigit when I was growing up but she was black.

Well we had another one for a short time called Emily - is that better. She was the same colour though - sorry My dad was a serious old car buff - I can't remember how many times we broke down on the school run

What an unexpecting day went to camp shop to get some bit for conversion, phoned a mate to see if he was in as he lives near
to find hes at a steam rally ,
Only to find a mini mini bongo meet

Good to see you guys again been a long time since we had a chin wag, brews all round thanks to Dabs,
Yp the conversion is coming on slow yes slow.
cheers guys see you on wed next week NEXT WEEK
