An RRG weekend in photos

[surprisingskoda]

I think and hope there should be something for everyone amongst these - there was certainly a wide range on offer as usual.
Personally I'm pleasantly surprised that almost all of my photos came out despite the changeable and adverse weather, the camera coped well with a few adjustments here and there and nearly all of these are raw or with just the minutest amount of cropping etc. These are some of my favourite ones.
Imgur has messed up the order so if they are a bit askew I apologise, I'll try to sort them out at least by some form of timeline.

Saturday campsite photos:













This is definitely "doing it right"



Traction started to become an issue after a few cars had been in and out.























Saturday evening - time for kevfromwales to start the charity tat auction


good crowd


Demos offered:



and long into the night it went

busy dealing out winnings after



little alcove bar for the late nighters


redvictor gets interviewed










Saturday was soaking, so the campfires were few and the early nights many










Sunday morning and it's an early rise and some early attempts to escape




And off to the show field






Really loved this trade stand




And a bit of track action...








Complete with commentator...













Just what every track day needs - a Morris Minor, a VW Caddy and a Renault Extra...


...and a lightweight Mini chased down by a Cadillac hearse.


Brightened up later

























Help! So many cars to see




And then started drizzling again




Time for a rest






And...

Great pics. I need to work out how to get the Regatta parts to you now. When's the next UK bound trip?

PM me Matt. Might be able to do something soon depending on size.

Sorry I couldn't find you again all weekend.

I didn't realise it was you till Kev mentioned it Sunday afternoon, my memory for faces/names is appalling. I'll dig all the bits out and see what's what.

I especially like the fire side pictures with our drunk sleeping friend as we were playing "buckeroo" with him

Hi
All went to retro rides gathering on my bike had not finninshed my car.
Bought the tickets so went on my bike with some friends who had tickets as well they took all my camping gear.
The beginning was good buetyful weatrher nice and slow only go on A roads as bike has a tendency to stop and on the motorway could be a problem.
Got 35 miles from the gathering bike cut out had a split in the carb rubber that was new 2 weeks a go needed a jump start so called the car with the camping gear who had gone on the M40 they said would be an hour so sat waiting?
A kind man stopped to help and said he had a unit down the road where he makes land speed motorcycles.
So a coke bottle cut up and over the top of the carb rubber held with 2 clips and the bike was running sort of would start but reved high carried on my journey as the bike revved so high as I got nearer the front brake start smoking then ceased on through Worchester was exiting.
Then into the country if I left the bike for 10 mins the front brake would release.
The lanes where a bit of a mission could not go down the steep hills with the engine running so off with the engine and lights and rolling into the darkness.
As I got to the gate was met by sucurity had been informed I would be there at some point.
With the help of the man with the black celica a new hose was fitted Sunday morning and then a 120 mile trip back to London.
Had a great weekend hope to take a car next year but still enjoy the bike.
The bike is a 1984 Armstrong mt500 with ccm 604 engine converted to electric start.

I liked the laid back "I'll fix it in the morning " attitude

Great company and hopefully catch up next year
