The French Connection

I mentioned a while back that my friend Joe had brought round a lot of photographs of one French man's vehicle collection. These were all taken quite a few years ago, so no doubt more have been added .
   I have quite a few pics, so will post more over the coming weeks

A rarity in it's own right Andy's Hesketh Vampire

Noggin,Nash & Natter - Longbridge Deverill 2015

This event has apparently been running for 28 years.  I only heard about it 3 years ago and last night was my first visit and that nearly didn't happen as the late afternoon skies in Bristol were full of cloud and heavy sharp showers. Because of the earlier gloomy sky I set off later than I originally planned and after clearing the outskirts of Bath I was really glad to be out and thought to myself  "even if there is not much there I'm enjoying this anyway" My heart did sink a bit when I kept seeing plenty of Classic cars heading in the opposite direction to me. As it turned out there was still plenty on site and I have to say it was one of the better events of this year so far.
  For future reference it is held at The George pub on the A350 road to Shaftesbury and only a couple of miles from the junction of the A36. I believe that I've read that it is always the last Wednesday of July - 5pm to 10 pm.

Vauxhall Wyvern

A Bentley or two

Bristol 403

Gran Torino

Triumph TR3

The engine was running on this Vauxhall Victor and there was a lovely burble from
the short pipes,one of which can be seen exiting in front of the rear wheel 

Not much in the way of bikes with most of them being parked
on the street

Calne Bike Day 2015

I popped along to Calne bike day last Saturday and it seemed busier than ever. It's become ever more a Harley / Custom bike event and so not really my thing,but Calne is only approx 30 mls east of Bristol and for once we had a smattering of some blue skies. I stayed a little over an hour,took a few photo's and that was enough.

That's some brake !

Liked to have heard this fired up.

Not quite sure what the locals think of the parking ?

It's not a motorcycle baby,it's a chopper
