Wheels Day pics Pt 96...

Post by RobTwin »

Plans were well in hand to join the 9am meet at the BP/A3 and cruise to Rushmoor Arena with Del & Co but just before we got to the M25 at J20, we saw the familiar sight (sorry Lewis :lol: ) of a Camaro at the side of the road with its hood up, so we pulled in to see what was up. Turns out Lewis (Camaro), John (55 Ford panel van) & Naughty Al were there waiting for Tony Walden (69 Sport Satellte) & his lad Darryl (pro street mustang), so we waited too.... and waited.... and waited :roll:

Eventually Tony & (sorry, not sure of his name in the 4dr Fury) rolled up with Darryl as passenger, thanks to a busted head gasket the night before, so we eventaully got on the M25 about 8.45

As we were unlikely to get to Guildford in 15 mins (well Alan could have I suppose :-k ) we headed straight for the venue.

Our little cruise was great fun tho, esp with Al using a couple of gallons every time he needed to change lanes, or just to let any passing Ferrari or Aston know he was there. A new Camaro joined in too on the M25 and stuck with us all the way. Thanks to Lewis no doubt 8-)

So, 45 mins from joing the M25 at J20, to joining the queue for Rushmoor Arena, then another 90 mins to go the last 2 miles :evil:
Rather took the shine off a fun drive down. Methinks we'll be making an earlier start next time.

Anyhoo, here's some pics of what we saw. Didnt get to walk round all the arena so missed the Petty tribute 'bird, which looked great (despite the 'differences/errors' mentioned) in the pics already posted.
Spent most of the time talking to new & old faces, which was nice.

and another - Joe who fitted our new seat covers. Not the best advert for an upholsterer, granted, but pretty cool, all the same :)

Great shots..thanks for posting them!

Does anyone here know anything more about the red 1966 Dodge Polara 500 (about 1/2 way down)? I've also got a '66 Polara and I can't believe there would be many more in this country, so would be good to say hello to the owner.

Thanks all!

Yes, it was HOT!

and No, it's not a 'real' hemi Charger unfortunately, started out as a Super Track Pack R/T apparently.

Dunno about the 66 Polara, sorry yabadaba. Sure I've seen it around before tho, maybe Billing?

Super pics Rob - lots of cars I never saw. I spent a long time drooling over that Blacktop 55 though.

That 66 Polara used to be local to me. Has a 383, very nice interior, and drives real tight. I think it's changed hands a couple of times since then though.

Cool pics Rob, you managed to get round a fair bit of the field, loads of cars there I didn't see! I don't know what the secret is to seeing ALL the cars there, apart from standing at the gate from 7 in the morning! I did my best and think I saw half of what was there. Kept hitting that black hole near the middle, no matter what row you started on you ended up in this one at the end of it :?

And stop taking pics of them Day Vans, we don't want to encourage them :roll:
