Hartlepool Classic Car Rally ( and us MV's ) April 15th '07


Recommended Posts

The Classic Car Rally held at Hartlepool's Historic Quay was very well attended by both vehicles and public, with vehicle parking spreading into the second overflow carpark. Eight of our vehicles attended, comprising of four Jeeps, two Dodges, the Staff Car and Wrecker. As can be seen from the pictures, there were clear skies, with the sun giving plently of heat, despite a small breeze from the coast.

Cliff had a fuel problem resulting in him spending most of the afternoon under the hood of the Ward le France

It was probably Carma paying him back, as earlier in the day, when Gerry had turned his back for 5 minutes, Cliff tried to sell Gerry's Jeep to anyone interested from the public!!

Most of the Dodges in the group are loaded up with kit, so it stops it all falling out or blowing around. Plus I don't think the owners can really be bothered until we get to proper summer weather. This is England you know, in 5 minutes the weather can turn from summer to snow!!!

First of all, thank you for wonderful photos. With nice surroundings as well.

 

Second, I kinda have to agree with Joris on the tops on the Dodges. Still the Dodges look great with their tops up too!

 

I notice that one of the jeeps have a couple of wooden crates in the back. I have plenty of space in the back of both the Dodge and the trailer, so I thought I'd make me some crates. Would it be possible to get a close up of one of these? If you have...

The jeep with the crates is actually my jeep, and they contain a 12v caravan battery, a mains inverter and a CD player and two big speakers to give us 40's music where ever we go.

 

Since the jeep is an airbase jeep ( 100th BG ), the crates are stencilled up with aircraft and engine parts.

Thanks for the link! Had a look and I've decided to become a carpenter! :-D At least for a little time. Let's see how many I need to fill up the back of the Dodge... ehhh... with my skills that would take me about a lifetime or two... :-o

 

But at least I'm going to try! Looks good in your jeep Jessie. A nice way to hide some modern stuff!
