Wheels Festival Bmth

[mach1rob]

This bank holiday weekend sees the inaugural Bournemouth Wheels Festival, and if anyone was watching Good Morning Britain or Lorraine on ITV this morning may have have spotted a few classics on a rather wet, windy and rather bleak seafront.

A few of us were asked to bring our cars down for them to film against for the bit where Andi Peters goes around the UK with his big spinny wheely thingy giving away cash prizes, so a nice early start was had at 5.30 this morning, the weather blowing away the cobwebs however. Seven of us stood around getting cold and wet, but were kept supplied with tea/coffee so not all bad while they did their thing, the owner of the A Team van winning the second spin and having a nice little earner to boot, certainly made his day

Hoping the weather improves for the rest of the weekend, typically, the sun is out and it's quite pleasant out now Should anyone fancy a day out details below, although to show is by pre-booking, so unlikely you'll get in with a classic unless you're lucky, but sounds a fun packed weekend. I shall grab plenty of pics of the weekend just to wind John up mostly.

The odd glimpse of the Tango-Fanta-stic could be seen on the tv, so that should put the value way up now! £2.50 at least

Was Andi Peters the one who made his name by fisting some sort of toy rodent in the name of children's entertainment?
Good to know that he's grown out of that sort of thing if so. The orangeness of the Dolomatic continues unabated, this pleases me.

Ahh that would have been Edd the duck



As you are pleased, maybe this will please you even more! Tango-Fanta-stic met a new friend on Sunday just gone too.

bird/rodent, rodent/bird, meh, same difference.

1500TC? Nice car by virtue of its similarities to the Dolomite, I'd love to shoehorn a Perkins into one of those.
So, have you been letting the owner of the KG use your left over paint? I like those too, especially in the right colour.

It was red when it arrived

Not a bad weekend, even if the classics were shoved right up out the way a mile and a half away from the main area, just beyond the monster trucks, Dakar rally cars, army vehicles, funfair and burger vans... Hopefully something that will be resolved for next year, as after asking for feedback, they'll get the message as that was the biggest complaint I heard over the whole event.

Anyways, some nice tin (and my car) were in attendance
