Rainhill Gala Day

[Panky]

Teamed up with Bernie and Heidi to attend a small but eclectic local gathering ten minutes up the road from me

Luckily B&H brought Jim the Jennings so we could shelter from the showers, I was in the GT.

This little Davrian was the car of the show for me

A Bernie for scale

A rare sight these days, a Toyota Tercel

A magnificent beast of an Austin 9

Bernie meets his heroes

Loads more there but I think you get the idea

Is that Rainhill where the railway trials were held?

 

[Panky]

Certainly is, Stephensons Rocket and all that. He didn't give way on the zebra crossing either

As I understand it the Rocket was without parallel, but with a little perseverance managed a novelty win. I couldn't fit cycloped.
