excellent day 

Yep, nice day down there, met Mel B with his lovely light blue Manx.

Had a chat to the owner of a nice lwb orange Jas - is he on here, forgot to ask him?

Was hoping to see Phill's buggy, what happened mate?

And guessing you didn't get the tranny fixed in time Andy? 

Cheers,

Paul.

Hi Paul

Funny you should ask

First off buggy battery was flat so waited to charge a bit in the morning, got it started and off I set, got just pass arundel and the heavens open and the buggy started to take on water like a sinking ship.
So made the dessicion then to head home as I was wetter than a otters pocket and the buggy was not running great due to the amount of water on  the engine I guess.
Made it home only to find tranny oil purring out, so the engine is back out again.

Totally gutted that missed this show again

Any pics

It really did chuck it down, we caught it at Fontwell, but pressed on. Interestingly, although it rain most of the way, we didn't get too wet despite having no roof - my hair and right-hand leg were the only wet bits - and the inside of the screen!

The Manx does have this wonderful design feature which dumps the rain from the windscreen straight into the footwell. Glad we made the effort as it cleared up nicely and pretty much everything dried out.

Enjoyed the show , and was parked next to the orange LWB Jas.

See you next year!!

Phill I did wonder where you were, that's a shame but lucky you turned back because of the rain if your gearbox was dumping oil
It was a great day and turned out scorchio even after we went into the hindhead tunnel with relatively warm weather to come out the other side to a real downpour luckily quickly made it to the services until it cleared up

Any pics

What a great day out, a little wet to start with. The field held up well, about 30mins after it rained there was no evidence it rained. Soo many great cars to see, took hours to walk round them all. turned into a hot day, some of us ended up getting a little burnt.

Really liked the colour of this one, First one I've seen with the front opening window.

Gutted for you Phill, if its not one thing its another mate, chin up though it looks great, just need to get it running. 

Funny about the rain, we came down the M3 via Winchester and only drove through a few light showers!

Didn't take any pics I'm afraid  the blue Beetle pictured above was pretty special, detailing was amazing although I didn't like the paint - the flake was so heavy it made it look like it had really bad orange peel (which it didn't), but beautifully built.

My son's favourite was a metallic lime green T5 which had been chopped and turned into a crewcab with a lovely wood lined bed.

Our joint pick was a bronze mark 3 cortina with a beautifully fitted 289 small block Ford complete with Vortech supercharger blowing through a Holley double pumper - I used to do a bit of American muscle (hence the username) so really appreciated this one. the best thing about it was it was a true sleeper, practically nothing on the outside to show it was packing probs about 300bhp of blown V8!!!

Cheers,

Paul.

It was a good show - the  afternoon the sun came out and in true british fashion i got burnt.
I got to meet Chris and had a chat but the missus got bored quickly so i didnt get to meet the rest of you.

I did get some pics though - i love the metal flake buggies in the sunlight - my pics don't do them justice.

My first pic is a rat razor - I love the faded painted number plate - a cool car

I had seen pics of this car before -  This buggy is brilliant



Chris and the purple sidewinder - very nice and i can't wait to see it when the details chris plans for next year



This buggy was immaculate - i would have been scared to drive it in case i got it dirty

Ah a Jas lwb you say that would be me mm289
first time I've been down to beachbuggin well worth the wet drive down all was good until we hit the m27 then it got darker and darker and wetter once we hit Portsmouth and could see the spinnaker ( how ever it's spelt) the thing was lit up with a beam of light, the rest of the day was hot and sunny.  Good to put a few more faces to names off her.  Will defo be going again next year
