Neddy Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Strewth, that brought back vivid memories. It was great to see a threshing machine run at full operating speed for a change - normally if you see one at agricultural shows they run it at a fraction of it's speed, either to preserve it or because they have no idea just how loud and fast the thing had to run to separate the grain properly. You can't mistake that hum but the video doesn't quite convey the sheer volume of sound when you're up close to it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mpfiend Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 (edited) Not a classic, but I saw this yesterday and thought it rather unusual. some sort of small fiat flat bed. Edited June 21 by Mpfiend 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windy37 Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Beverly. East Yorkshire mid summer classic show last night . Huge amounts of varied bikes and cars . Here's a few of my personal favourites. 50s 2Cv Not really into this era , but I do love a Big Healy . Renault 12 Dolomite Sprints seem to be gaining respect at shows Karmann RD350 bringing back all sorts of 80s memories , mainly wheelies down the village street ! And to end a selection of Escorts Mexico Harrier Mk1 RS2000 and X Pack mk2 RS2000. The mk1 is my mates who I went with . Featured on Bangers and Cash it's got Twin 45s and my senses were just blown as it goes like .... off a shovel !!! Gary . 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince1159 Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Lovely Escorts but i can't remember the last time i saw a Renault 12..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmer matt Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 (Thankfully?) I didnt manage to get a pic of it, but if you remember the purple Lambo I posted a while back, hes now got a Maserati Quattroporte in the same shade. No pinstripes, but the badges etc are in the pinky orange. Money may override taste, but surely the guys doing the wrap could have had a quiet word and steered things a bit more tastefully.

Can think why that memory suddenly came to mind 😅🤣. Also Just out of curiosity does anyone recognise the the red car behind the Renault? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beefy66 Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 Not a recent spot I was clearing some space on the phone and forgot I had taken these before I retired back in April at the Washington Factory where I worked for 33 years they often put some new models and old outside of reception for big visits.

Jbourne124 Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 We have a yearly car show called “the medford cruise” and this was in attendance, I’ll just go ahead and say it’s a replica right out. Got to love a Ferrari 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jbourne124 Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 Well that’s the thing @cmatthewbacon it transverse mounted v6 with a Porsche style transmission behind it so I’m not sure, the owner said it had some history, being that it was “one of a few built off of original Ferrari bucks before Ferrari found out and pulled the plug” obviously Ferrari wouldn’t want anyone having fun on the cheap. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith You were right. Simca was a French company, Abarth Italian. The wiki page got a tad confusing with numerous buyouts, takeovers and the like muddying the waters. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
