Newquay, Cornwall
In all seriousness, there are very few shows or
events on the rodders calendar that take place in this part of the country. Run
to the Sun is the only other event that springs to mind, although the new swap
meet at Taunton is not too far away. Cornwall does seem to be becoming a hotbed
of rodding activity of late though with a couple of new rod shops having opened
fairly recently. Having said all this, it seemed to me that if the local club
could put on a show, then the least I could do was to attend and show some
support.
Mike Noble was there in his always-lovely coupe. I
have a real soft spot for this car with it’s traditional hot rod red with
whitewalls and spot on stance. Don’t change a thing Mike, unless you are
passing the keys this way.
Mmmm, roadster pickup.
There were also a few later model cars that caught
my eye. As a kustom man, many of them I viewed as potential projects, such as
this lovely fairlane already sporting some kustom touches. This moggy traveller
will certainly catch a few peoples eyes, especially yours eh Spencer?
The last picture I will add to this piece is this
one. It’s not a great picture – it’s a new digital camera and I’m still
getting used to it – but it is a great car. This one is, I believe, fresh out
this year and is a fantastic machine. Expect to see a lot of this car in the
mags this year – it deserves it.
So all in all, not a bad turnout for the first
running of this event although the weather was awful over the weekend. I
sincerely hope that this event will grow in years to come, it certainly seems
that with Run to the Sun the following weekend, many people could come for a
week and take in both events.
