The 3rd and final instalment of the N.S.R.A. Fun Run at Billing Aquadrome, Northampton. I hope you have enjoyed looking at the pictures and reading my informative and sometimes witty comments and maybe it may have inspired you to attend the event next year?
 |
| Fully fendered '32 3 window Coupe in matt black, looks tough eh? |
 |
| True hot Rod paint scheme on this '32 Ford 5 window. |
 |
| Not sure what this was but it was different, and that is the name of the game. |
 |
| A '34 Ford brought right up-to-date. A modern version of a classic. |
 |
| Probably the best line up in the show and shine... |
 |
| This Pro-Steet Ford Popular was amazing. Lovely paint, lovely engine, lovely interior. |
 |
| Although it was built for speed, interior looks quite comfy. This also featured a roof chop. |
 |
| A pair of Rat Rods in the car park. |
 |
| 'Ed' from the Wolfsburg Weed Huggers VW club was at the show with his fastback. (although I never saw him there) Ed actually followed Claude and I home to form a mini cruise. Thanks Ed. ! |
 |
| A home made Ford Classic Capri pick up, what a blast from the past. |
 |
| I do like a tatty step side pick up. This one was spot on. |
 |
| The mini club were at the show with their rendition of 'custom'. |
 |
| Err, Umm..... a 4x4 mini anyone? |
 |
| A pastel yellow and white mid 50's Corvette Stingray, absolutely stunning. |
 |
| This looked like a Bentley, whatever it was it was very expensive. Just imagine making the first cut with the grinder on those doors. |
 |
| This was very trick and had some nice touches. |
 |
| A '32 Ford 3 window with a nice twist on the flamed paint job. |
 |
| A low lead sled in satin black, how cool is this. |
 |
| 1940's Ford pick up in beautiful turquoise with polished alloy and chrome. |
 |
| Looks like a bright orange Ford Prefect... with a dark green Ford Popular in the foreground. |
 |
| The contrasting colours on this early step side truck were absolutely perfect. It complimented the hub caps and chromed bright work perfectly. |
 |
| I spotted this Silver Pro Street Ford Pop taking shelter from the sun under some trees by the show entrance. |
 |
| Rods kept turning up all day. A 40's Ford and a red '57 Chevy driving into the show. |
 |
| Such a good variety of vehicles and such a high standard of built quality. Such a pleasure to actually see these rods driving about rather than just parked up. |
 |
| This bike really caught my eye. Pastel blue colour really set it apart from the other bikes. |
 |
| The build quality of these bikes is just as high a s the show cars. |
 |
| Now these are super cool. How good would it be to ride one of these around?? |
 |
| My favourite, I didn't ask the price of this... but I can safely say I couldn't afford it. |
 |
| So-Cal sticker on a '32 roadster. |
 |
| Model 'A' roadster had some nice period touches. |
 |
| Loved the door cards, looked like rolls of film featuring Marilyn Monro stuck to the inside of the doors. |
 |
| Not 100% sure what this was but it was huge. Look at those rear tail fins. (look how small the modern day hatchback is next to it) |
 |
| Classic mid 50's Ford Thunderbird in flawless gloss black paint and white wall tyres. |
 |
| Lovely turquoise and black split screen looked cool. |
 |
| Chevy step side looking gorgeous. |
 |
| Walking around the park I spotted this Ford Popular. This black gloss paint was so deep you could drown in it.! Unusual wheel choice but I think it works. |
 |
| Here's one for Ian Munro, who is my mates brother and now lives in Thailand. This was the only Consul Capri I saw at the show and only saw it drive in, I couldn't find it after that. |
 |
| I do prefer the ratty look on a pick up but this caught my eye for some reason. |
 |
| This Ford Pop pick up was just leaving the show when I spotted it. Not sure if this is converted saloon or whether it's an Australian import were I believe they were made as standard and called a 'Ute' |
 |
| Hey, I recognise this split screen, it belongs to Claude Busian. I'm glad you decided to drive over Claude. It was really good to see you and it looked like you enjoyed the show. |
 |
| This is without doubt the best way to get around the park.Overall it was a very good day out, the weather was good and the show was excellent. Same time and place next year then. |
