We took the Dodge over and dad drove his VdP 1300 for the gathering and road run into Audlem.

For the most part the weather was kind, although a couple of sharp showers in the pm did dampen proceedings for a few minutes at a time. All in all another great day, some photos (in no particular order)...

Looks a smashing day out - typical british weather with sunshine and rain. Good to see so many different kind of vehicles.
Could recognise most but not these. What make / type are they?

Hi - they are Humber Super Snipe, Paramount (based on Ford 1172 running gear!), Willys Overland, and Ford Model Y.

rgds, RJ

Right there! I knew there was a reason I didn't do this show. My level of patience has been terrible recently, and I couldn't stick that.

But there was some interesting stuff there, and around 40 narrowboats on the nearby canal. I arrived (roof down) just as the heavens opened and had to get off the road and put the roof up on an emergency basis. But it soon went off save for a couple more showers.

We all like the atmosphere of it, yes the convoy does grind to a slow crawl near the village, but prior to that we rolled along ok. I gave the Dodge's clutch an easy time wherever possible, but say in the Volvo I'd not have needed to give it a second thought really.

Looks like good time had.

Used to visit Audlem often a few years back as the company I was with had a small depot on the outskirts.

Very good pictures, thank you very much, I think the Paramount was the only one that had me beaten.

Just shows what a sad old git I have grown into, must get out more.
