Having heard a great deal about the Scrapers bi-annual car show, four of us blokes decided to take the plunge and go this year.
Brian in his 56 Fairlane (his '36 not being finished on time)
Calvin in his 37 truck with early custom harley in the back
Simon (passenger)
Dan (me, passenger)
We booked all our stuff early, in fact so early that Brian was already packing by Febuary!!! Thanks to Ratty for the excellent easy to use ferry deal! The trip itself was superb, fantastic weather for the drive out to Dover, where we met with a good selection of other Uk Hot rodders, and an assortment of vehicles, ferry was no probs, flat calm, ton of sun, got the other side and attempted a huge cruise of all the vehilces to the event, and amazingly it worked very well until we got off the motorway then all hell broke loose with vehilces to be seen in all directions, eventually after a couple of hours most people had arrived at the show, started to get there vehicles ready for display or just sitting in the sun having a beer, you know how it is!
The Scrapers put on a fantastic, nostalgia style hall, well organised displays of vehicles, excelletn entertainment on the Saturday night for those that can remember it (!)
What else can be said, if you like your hot rod shows the old fashioned way then you missed out big time.........it reminded us of the suede palace at the GNRS in the states..............cool indeed
Pics to follow, not in any particular order...............enjoy and thanks for looking
