Been to this one and like it as its so informal. And there's always that petrolly smell of old carb engines in the air, and the noises of old cars and bikes, particularly the rumble of big v8s, they like to give the spectators a big rev!
Thought you might have seeing as you just posted all those pictures. A long time since I saw a Bond bug without the front corners worn through.
Aha i missed out "a couple of times" The bond bug was in great nick and bout the right size for a 4 yr old super hero too!
A friend of mine had one when I was at college in the late 70's. It was rubbish but amusing and really easy to tip over. I would make it tip with a bit of exaggerated body movement when he was cornering and he had to use cunning to get it to stay on 3 wheels. Just as well there wasn't so much traffic on the roads in those days.
Well that solves the mystery of all the rods I passed driving from Fordingbridge to Fontwell! This looks like a harder way of losing 50 notes
