Damp afternoon of classics

[Speedman]

Decided to risk the flooded country lanes north of Reading and pop over to the Stoke Row Motorsport Day. Last year was a scorcher and the village green was full with some shiny classic and sports cars. This year it was wet and it wasn't!









A bit disappointed, we headed up the lane to the nearby industrial estate, the local motorsport and classic car workshops always throw open their doors for the day and show off some of their cars. As we rounded the corner it became apparent that the classic/sports cars had moved up here as well!










;D

The sky had been getting a bit darker up to this point when I suddenly felt two drops of rain on me, then the heavens properly opened, drains over flowed and cars were soaked, we huddled under a tree to escape it!





Shortly afterwards the sun came out and the sky was blue, like it had never rained!







Local teams competed in a pitstop challenge with historic F3 cars



Spotted this for Mr Amazo, last taxed at the end of the 1990s according to the disc, looked pretty solid, but dirty, the interior looked complete too, but with a big gap in the window won't be lasting too long!







A trio of wide arched saloons






;D

With the sun beaming down, I decided to have another go at snapping the cars.







And then we headed off, the green was still a bit empty.





I bagged a couple of retro Corgi models for my desk and the complete first season of the Dukes of Hazzard on DVD for pocket money prices.



And thats it. Wasn't a wasted day at all ;D
