Steam Rally Part 2



Last week I showed some photos from a Steam Rally I went to with my wife, steam engines were not the only attraction as I will show you in this blog.






There were tractors




all sorts




from the Fordsons, ( I have driven one)




this might be an old MOD one





nice orange one




red ones which is a Nuffield





old ones





and even older ones













They had Indians





and lots of cowboys







hanging around though I'm not sure what he is up to with the gun
But the sheriff was around to keep order




 Mind you the army was not far away, well some restorers were




stationary engines





fairground rides




trucks





even a six wheel drive one




quite a few classic cars




from big to small



to small. for you who do not know this is a Hilman Imp, came out the same time as a Mini




has to be one of the cars I always wanted a Astin Healey 3000



My wife has an affection for these which go under the nickname Peanuts. She owned and learned to drive in one 
Pontiac Firebird 
now the only this missing from the show was an Mini, I was gutted to find there were none there. Well that is what you can see at a local steam rally in the UK, might add this was the prelude to an even bugger one a week or so later at Woodcote not far away.

The sheriff certainly looked the part. Beautiful cars!
