It appears to have Russian-made anti-corrosion accessories.

I must admit I quite fancy a Lada, preferably an estate.

On the subject of Lada, there is a sort of cult following for the 1200/Riva and also the Niva but there doesn't appear to be any love for their "modern" car, the FWD Samara. I wonder why.

Hillbilly farmers car, he was wearing a boiler suit, everyone wears a boiler suit here. The pipes are straight through.

I can remember as a kid in the 70s being able to sit at the side of a road and reel the make and model off of every car passing by as they were all so distinctive. I would be hard pressed to do it now.

My Dad last year set himself the challenge of buying a die cast model of every car he's ever owned. It had to be in the correct colour, and in 1:43 scale. He told me on the blower yesterday that hes finished, so next time I'm down in the anus of England I'll snap a pic.

That might me dificult for me to copy because I doubt anyone would waste the effort making a model of a Proton MPi.

Ooh! That sounds like a nice Idea.
I was just thinking of the car's I've had over the years.
Morris Minor, Austin Mini Deluxe, MG Midget, Morris Mini 1,000, Triumph Dolomite Sprint, Austin Metro HLS, Vauxhall Cavalier CD, Vauxhall Astra MK2, Vauxhall Carlton 1800, Vauxhall Vectra GLS. I think that's it apart from the present two which aren't classics.

Nice 7. Our local Chief Constable has an austin 7.

J15 is a Datsun engine, and a kit kat car.

I'm presuming the kit car?

PS, your baseball cap is disgracefully clean. I insist that ypumcovrr it in greasy fingerprints immediately.

Home-made Maloo!!

I have no idea what the running gear is?
However, I highly doubt it's a 5.7litre V8!

One for (mainly?) the West, & South, Yorkshire members


Friday 5th July
From, maybe(?) 17:00 - (circa) 21:00

Free entry to pedestrians, some charity donation buckets may be present

There's always some damned fine motors there; from American 'Muscle', 'Exotica, 'bread & butter', m/bikes, trucks. tractors

It's located just out of the city centre, on the A642; which is the Wakefield - Huddersfield road
There is a map on the site
The best approach is from Horbury Road, no vehicular access through, from 'Stork Lodge Gates', on Thornes Road (B6475)
The best postcode for any 'Sat-Nag' users is; WF2 8TY
(that's for the Sports Centre/running track, that's in the Park)

Just a few random images, from the past few years
NB; obviously, I have no idea on how many will attend, or what marques/models
