Re: VBOA National Rally, Billing Aquadrome 2014. Your pics h
Due to me loosing my camera at one point (I left it in the engine bay of my car and shut the bonnet!) I didn't take as many photos as I would have liked this year, but here they all are anyway.
Had some mad weather on Saturday. At Billing it was perfect all day but on the way there and the way back it was all over the place.
These two were taken within 10 minuets of each other:
This was on the way home. The rain got a hell of a lit worse after this. Probably the worst rain I've ever driven through. I couldn't see 10 feet in front of me and ended up stopping on the hard shoulder for about 20 minuets.
This also happened in the CD auto, which I just missed:
Anyway, at the show itself, it was glorious sunshine. So here are a few of my favourites:
Probably the best condition Cavalier I've ever seen, only 9,000 miles on the clock!
Extremely rare Irmscher Senator, complete with that mighty 4.0 inline 6.
The way home also gave me a chance to take some fly by shots of the LS, something I've always wanted to do, most of them didn't turn out very well though:

Yeah. I would have liked to stay the night but I don't think my Dad would have.

Nice photos! I love those Senators, not so keen on the irmsher one but love the standard ones.... Quite a few Mk3 Cavaliers there although was expecting more.

Am I a light sleeper or a heavy sleeper? Well that depends on how much I've had to drink...

I took a load for a forthcoming issue of Retro Cars (show report). I'll post a few here once I've sifted through them all (took almost 500 pics in four hours, haha!)

Great pictures James an vauxhallnutter. My Cav was included 3 times! Had a great time at Billing though didn't get as much parts wise this year so spent some on a few Vauxhall an Opel model / toys instead.
Went Saturday and Sunday afternoon but still missed out on seeing a fair few motors there but managed to get a picture of my Cav next to Dougie from Total Vauxhall magazine mk2 Cav by the onsite Chip shop.

Who's is the Turbo reg C4 VYT?
Re: VBOA National Rally, Billing Aquadrome 2014. Your pics h
seen this cav a few times at different shows, spoke to the owner once for a few mins, but I don't think he goes on car forums, so its not seen very much on the forums. Ads
