Yeah, i have a friend with a dark room, and he develops them for me for Beer!  I then just whip them through my negative scanner, takes me longer to scan them all than it does for my mate to develop them lol. |

Some of my poor quality photos of Surrey Street Roders Wheels Day taken on 125asa Ilford FP4plus black & white film with my 1963 Kodak Retinette 1B. Enjoy!  Thanks For looking!  What does the Retro Rides hive mind know about this? It's obviously based on some pickup body but what about the rest? Does it look good from other angles? Any more photos? I'm sure there are plenty of naysayers but I quite like it so far. |

Well, i don't know for sure, but it looks a lot like a 1983 Dodge D50 ratrod that i was bidding on last year on ebay in America... Hold on, i'll see if it's still saved in my watchlist.

This photo of the Daimler hemi-engined dragster... ...is quite comfortably my favourite photo of the year so far  Especially since I'm well aware how soggy the ground was in Rushmoor and how wet your knees must have been after taking this |

Thanks, I must admit by the end of the day I had experienced quite a lot of brown trouser moments! My knees were so caked in mud I reckon my jeans are stained for good. Still, worth it in my option for good photos.

And the catastrophic offset fail on the front wheels was well hidden in the programme. Considering they had them made one-off, why didn't they have them made right?  Weird. I've seen a few of the WD cars now and some have been excellent... the Caddy and Ford F1 spring to mind... but the Pop just really wasn't nice  |

Are we talking about this one?  I did think it had been built by someone who had no concept of what makes a rod; instead they relied on what someone told them the elements of a rodded Pop was over a blurry fax and then applied them to the best of their limited ability. Turns out I was right |

I had no idea that was built by Wheeler Dealers, when i took the photo i remember lookling at it and thinking that there are elements of this that i like and that work for me, but quite a lot i didn't like. I like the colour, and seventies-esque-ness of it all, but the lights are wrong, wheels (especially the fronts) are wrong, bonnet was wrong. Pick and era and stick with it i reckon! But...  I thought it looked quite good from the back! |

Most obviously, considering he had the wheels made one-off by Image, how the hell he managed to end up with such a catastrophic offset fail on the front |
