Went along to this show for the day and took a couple of tractors, not been before and thought it worth the effort as there was some nice exhibits on show. heres a few photos of what got my interest.

Those were pretty interesting. There was also a front blade for it.

Look like a good rally Chris. I like that very heavily patinated garden tractor next to the Orange Allis Chambers. I can't quite make out the decals on it. What is it?

nice pics Chris, i like that drag car in the first photo

Great photos Chris I like that Cub Cadet Original Mark one in the first photo rather nice as well...

First time out on rally field at Hethersgill Vintage Rally and The Border Reiver gets second place. Had braw run down in the morning and the evening. had great fish supper and ice cream with Rolloman

The rally went well and the weather stayed fine, but a little breezy. Breezy being an understatement. I now have a wind burnt mush. Up early Saturday morning and arrived at the site at 6-30am. Trailer loaded with the C-81, C-121 and stuff for the auction. I was going to take the Teagle Hedge Trimmer but couldn't fit it on the trailer. Saturday was spent unloading auction things as people brought them in and eating bacon rolls. Had a couple of pints in the bar then in bed by 10pm. Bed being a padded bench in the club mobile office. Sunday up a 5am and off to unlock gates and take up my post at the exhibitors gate for 6am. The cars and motorcycles entered by another gate further on. Locked the gate at 10am as that was the time the show started. Had a quick look at auction stuff that had arrived that morning, but nothing really caught my eye. For the first time for a while, I managed to have a good look round. So some photo's. We had 11 entries in the horticultural class. Some you may recognize.

That's a 1936 French Velocar. Belongs to a bicycle collector friend of mine. Has three speeds and two seats in the back for children.

Jonathan (expeatfarmer) got third place with his MG2, Callender Plooman second with his Auto Culto and myself first with the C-81.

Update : I decided that this would be a good opportunity to experiment with electrolysis. I do not know what sort of unholy witchcraft is happening in that bucket, but several rollers are already free, with NO effort on my part and expenditure to the ruinous sum of 65p for soda crystals!. I think this is the future.......

Loafer at Wyevale Garden centre today...
