WHEELSDAY 2014

[UK RUSS 1960 OLDS]

Hi Guys,

Had a great day out at Wheelsday on Good Friday, the last few miles took a while to cover but we faired better than many others did.

Steve "a40custom" had never been to Wheelsday before as he lives in Manchester and it is a long haul to do in one day. As he had to be in work Saturday morning i offered for him to drive down to me on Thusday evening stay overnight and i would drive us down to Wheelsday and back and then he would only have to drive from my place back to Manchester.


This worked out well, Steve had a great day out and i had someone to talk to when we got stuck in the traffic jam. We left my place about 07.15 and we were at Guildford by 09.00 so we had made pretty good time, but it took another 45 minutes to cover the 12 miles from Guildford to Dunsfold arriving around 09.45. We wondered around together for an hour or so, then went our own seperate ways until late afternoon.


Between the pair of us we took over a 1000 pictures so there will be plenty to look at when we get the thread started later on. Got to go out and do the family thing shortly but will make a start on the pictures this evening when i get back if all goes according to plan.

Cheers.

Russ.

I look forward to seeing the piccies Russ, I took a load and then discovered my camera settings were all to cock and they came out blue-ish (all of them...!). My lad took better pictures than I did and we didn't get a chance (time) to go around the car park.

Chances of ever spotting me would have been remarkable, I was the chap with the green John Force hat..!

Hi Russ,
Sorry I didn't catch up with you.
I must have been in the last batch of cars to get parked up on the show field and just managed to switch off the engine before it overheated. I was impressed that it lasted for as long as it did ! Queued for nearly 2 hours coming in from Guildford ....
Then I found my phone was playing up so couldn't call or text.
I kept an eye out for you but with so many people about it was hopeless.
Glad you had a good day. I had a great time.
Hopefully catch up with you at the next show.
Steve.
