Some pics from last Weds at the annual HUGE gathering on Harpenden Common (between St Albans & Luton, if anyone was wondering ;) )


Unlike the Nats, the weather forecasters got it wrong for this one, with rain forecast for most of the afternoon/evening, but thankfully it stayed dry & bright :thumbright:


Usual eclectic mix, plus a fair few bikes that I didn't get round to snapping :roll:

It is the best car show by miles. Getting in though - that was dreadful this year. 45 mins in the traffic - Charger made it in, but once I turned the engine off she boiled over and dumped out the overflow...

I have a picture on my phone of the most bizarre bike I'd ever seem - old peugeot with a 10cyl radial engine - truly awesome. I'll try get it posted.

Cheers Morgan, yes I read about that somewhere but didn't see it meself. Nice old Indian (bike not person/restaurant ;) ) seemed to be attracting most of the attention when I was walking thru that area 8-)

great pics! First one ive missed for a few years, we usually have a cruise up and down then park behind the pub and watch everyone leave spiritedly until the old Bill stop the fun

The green Iso Grifo was at Chorleywood Supercar Show a couple of weeks back, a real beauty

Scale version of a WWI aircraft engine!? Even more impressive that it's a 'model' :shock: 8-)

Yes, we were there with kids from lunchtime! Usual great show. Nice to chat with Matt and Mandie, saw your car Morgan but not you :(
Yes I saw that guy start the radial motorcycle as well. Fantastic bit of kit. 100cc I believe he said. As you can imagine it spins up pretty quickly!
Good weather too...

Excellent pics Rob. We found it was VERY busy, gone are the days of picnic behind your car. Still some superb stuff there.
I thought the white Volvo was great.
