Chilly Wheels Day

[Speedman]

Bit late I know, but heres my pick from a chilly Wheels Day. A few weeks before it was just a blanket of snow, so I'm surprised that Rushmoor Arena was in such good shape come Good Friday. We headed down as ever in our trusty/filthy Camper. just beofre 9am seems the perfect time these days, the field was a few rows deep and there were no queues. We found a spot behind the cool Transit race van and bacon rolled as Camper owners do!





Full up we headed out, cool car and RR member spotting. I'll try not to duplicate stuff already posted elsewhere.

Carbon bonneted Mini with a TypeR twist


T-Bird was 19ft of awesome complete with 8-track



I missed papping Seth, so Lily'd his Hillman instead!

Fantastic race rod


Race Mustang looked the part


Matching two and four wheeled combo


Baby blue with red rims was a theme.




SWMBO likes pinstriping spotting


I found it some what amusing that in between all the American muscle and custom cars there was a bog standard mint Metro!

[Speedman]

Car of the show is so difficult to choose, but these two would feature in my top 10




This Triumph Renown was superb, the discs, spats and the removed engine panels give a stock car a rod look.


Spotted Mr Jonny Somerset in this patina'd with brilliant green interior Buick.


Nova looked spot on with those wheels


While some cooed over Henry Hirise, I preferred the transport it arrived on

[Speedman]

Restowagen Beetle belongs to a chap I know, the Oval next to it is a daily, the passenger seat being removed when the owners mountain bike needs to be transported.


Similar colours, decades apart


This made me laugh


Pickup was another in my top 10


Cool Campervan, check. Two tone, Check. Narrow beam, check. VW, nope!

[Speedman]

Cool Rod complete with knuckle duster radiator topper


Different colour scheme on this Chevy


Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser. Loved this mini conservatory on the rear of the roof.


Impossibly clean Maestro


A cross section of the day, bonkers short Mini, modern Mustang, filthy Camper


Good to bump into Seth (with a shy Amazo hiding behind the Transit!) Rmad, Emdee, The Hardcores and Mr Somerset. Roll on next year. There are loads more photos here ;D

Lily's got big, how did that happen so quick?

Great pics Speedman, many thanks.

Really like this


And want one of these stickers for my Cortina when it finally sees the road again.

Another great thread of pics. I'd better get my bum in gear and sort mine, or all the good cars will have gone lol. Thanks for taking pics of all the stuff I seem to have missed ;D Sometimes I wonder if I was at the same event, everyone has pics of coooooool cars and I'm like.. sod it, never saw that... never saw that... never saw that... saw that, hated it

note to self; pay more attention

That Reknown is still a gorgeous thing, and it's had a lot of work done... but it was this that made me sit up and pay attention to this photoset.



That's a bit of alright that is.
