Coney Green Steam and Country fair

That metalwork bird is brilliant.

Someone had invested real time, effort and plenty of pennies in that thing, I've no idea what it was.

Looks a good show that

A very small affair as they go. There's one in August that's pretty much the same distance from home but basically in the other direction. It's meant to be the biggest one day agricultural show in the country with up to 15K people in a day?

Try and find any litter on the field after the event, a very, very different attitude to the likes that attend Glastonbury etc.

That looks like a splendid event. I like the variety and that International Travelall is very rare, ugly as sin but rare. I took my Impala to the Baston show today, now held at Grimsthorpe Castle in Lincolnshire. I followed a lady driving a mega rare 1938/9 Raymond Mays drophead coupe to the show and bizarrely followed her out. I enjoyed it but there was too much modern crap allowed in (19 plate Merc SUV, just fuck off). There was some nice older stuff but sadly no photos as I just couldn't be arsed in the hot sun, I wasn't feeling too good being a diabetic I had a wobbly moment for a while. But we did get an excellent flypast by the BBMF Lancaster, three passes at quite a low altitude, I got a bit emotional. Just bloody superb.

Few things more pleasant than a steam rally on a sunny day, especially somewhere you have an affinity to. Sadly our local ones all fall on rocking weekends so shall probably have to find one somewhere else while it is still the season.....

Great pics, I absolutely want that Travelall. Don't know what I would do with it but I just want it.

And I don't know about Eddie, but my teeth are itching at that P6 numberplate (not to mention the colour...!)

I think that was my favourite from the whole show tbh as I took more photos of it than anything else there, I'd definitely drive it as is I know that!

Glad they'd managed to get coal for the boiler stuff to tho, it seems there's a real problem getting decent stuff at the mo. Incredible how so much power just sits there with a few bits clicking quietly away.

I didn't appreciate, until closer inspection, that the shadow of that bird was actually painted on. Just genius....

[treehugger]

Fucking ace.

I’ll be coming up there when I win the £191,000,000 Euros to throw money at that 109” Land Rover owner until he sells me it.

My initials are RJHS, that’ll sit nicely on my Monteverdi 375 with a Dodge Hellcat engine.

I drove the off road course at Coney about 15/20 years ago when I was still using a series Land Rover, good day out, although a degree of care was necessary.
Earlier in the day a Lightweight owner had got out his truck at the top of hill to engage the free wheeling hubs and hadn't applied the handbrake correctly, or the hand brake failed.
It rolled down the hill and hit a tree, writing it off.
Also seem to remember someone getting killed on the course shortly after my visit

When you've bought it throw some serious wedge at the monkey fund so the fucking pictures are the right way up.
