Was a locally run charity show with a real mixture of cars from modified to classics. More pics of the classics tho (thought it'd make a change  ) and a couple of fly past pics that didnt grasp how big and how close they were.
Enjoy :-
this one had original fifties picnic basket and money and stuff in it. Made it really authentic
this engine was in...........
this............
inside this .......................
was this.........
this is an old police car  If only they still made em like that  It was called PANDA !!
this one was HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
a bit more up to date bling bling
and then the fly pasts. They were well low!!!!!!!!! think this is a spitfire (without sounding too anorakee )
and the parachuters. I Missed the landing cause the battery went flat but they all landed safely
and this is what they jumped from. I missed a cracking photo oportunity with it tho cause it flew very very low and was headed straight for us. Got this on its way over.
Its a herculees bomber for anyone who wants to know
Really good day. Nice to see a wide variety of cars on show. Was loads more there (including maxdcarclub who I was with) but the camera went a bit flat

The one with the two engines is the dacota?
Not really into planes (obviously :lol but it was really impressive to see them in the air, but that low too!!
Wish I'd got more pics tho. Next I'll check the camera before we set off

........... and I was half right with the Hercules
Yeah my car was on show with about 20 more maxdcarclub cars and the RS owners had a stand there too but the classics outdid the modifieds in numbers

when i went to inida with my indian friend, his uncle had one of these parked in their rear garden. the dogs slept in it. it was built in 1959 and was light blue and had white wall tyres and a soft top. It was a wreck but would be the best restoration project. the engine was immaculate, if a little rusted up

These cars have so much prescence its unreal.
Ridiculasly impractical by modern standards but nonethe less a work of art on wheels IMO

Yeah, they were REALLY impressive.
Bloody big too Bet they're a right bugger to park
There was also a new (and I'm gonna get corrected again here ) vxr.
The sporty two seater vaxhaull job. It was bloody quick anyways. Went out for a spin in it (as a passenger ) and boy, talk about smell it I was sat in it Got up to 120mph in no time at all and went from that to 0mph in about 2 seconds Brakes are good
Got an astra tubo engine in it. Think they said it was 260bhp. An expensive toy but worth it
