We will be going over to Stroud for the Wheelnuts Classic Car Show. Excellent little local show.

Its an annual charity event at St Roses special school to raise money for school funds.

Hi,

Had a great drive out with like minded guys and gals, hour drive through some great countryside in convoy, despite the snow showers :shock: , got to Bicester set up our stand and then enjoyed looking at and chatting with the owners of some awesome cars.

Everything thing from early Ford Model T to a brand new Maclaren,Route Master buses, a cinema coach from the 50's, a twin cylinder bike from the 20's with a 5 litre displacement :shock: , Hot Rods and Customs etc. ect. in total over a thousand classics. Oh and classic planes flying in and out, not to mention the numerous Classic Car business based there that had opened there doors for all to view some great car's they are restoring.

Not the only TR7 in the village either, a TR7 DHC that was on our stand, TR7 V8 DHC and a real TR8 DHC so mine was at least the only FHC 8)

Slow drive home, with a memory card full of pictures.

Cheers John

Our trip to the Wheelnuts Classic Car Show was very enjoyable. Nice drive there and back and the weather was kind to us.
Great selection of cars to see, the organisers said almost 400 on display but we were the only TR7.
