Walton Bridge June 2017... A Cracking Hot Morning...

Post by Taff50ish »

Hi All,

Well, as the title reads, I got my lazy Butt up and out of Bed nice and Early'ish on Sunday for this. I had to give the car a good wash, as yet another Neighbor is having a load of Building work done and the Cappa was covered in a White concrete powder, which had been rained on and stuck it down quite well... Hrumph!!!

Anyhow, flowing the Hose off, wash and dry, it was off down to Walton on Thames.... What a Beautiful morning it was too!!! Here are a few shots I took while down there, it was a pretty good turn out I will say... I'll start with mine and this gorgeous 280 which I was lucky enough to park next to... Had a nice chat with the owner and totally forgot to get his name, but he is after an 'Off-Side Ford Mud Flap', but not too sure if it was the front or rear!!!

OK then, here we go, I hope you enjoy them.....

Hi John,
What fantastic photos, thanks for sharing them. I'll start by saying that your car, along with Kris' and the 280 look absolutely stunning.
This meet never fails to disappoint, the turnout of cars is just superb. Well, except for the small number of DeLoreans, that is! :lol: This meet definitely looks to be on a par with Queen Square for the variety of cars.
My favourite just has to be the DB6. Who can resist that beauty? 8-)

MG stands for Morris Garages, by the way. Do I win a prize? :lol:
Until recently I wouldn't have known about BSA though, except that they are mentioned on Shed and Buried a lot. I don't want to come across as a know-it-all, so I'll leave it for someone else to say....

Thanks again for the superb photos!

Andrew.

Great set of pic's John, agree with everyone, that DB6 is simply outstanding, no wonder the crowd seemed to be all around it.
What a great setting for a show & you obviously had great weather too. Bit of a fan of those fastback mustangs too, not to mention the Capri's ;)
Cheers for posting,
Rob

As always John Walton Bridge attracts some stunnng cars. Great pic of yours with that 280. He was parked up next to us at Brooklands. Lovely Capri. Yours is looking superb fella. Cant believe you got another bleedin neighbour doing building works. John you thought about a cover for your Capri or getting your drive sorted ? :)
Great shot of Kris 2.0S too. Really enjoyed looking through these pics mate. I really must get along to Walton Bridge before the summer is out ! Am doubtful for QS next week fella but looking good for Battlesbridge this year :D All the best mate.

Hi John,
I've just checked and CSV699 is a genuine wartime (1943) Willys Jeep.
