On Friday I headed to the somewhat misnamed '****efest' down in Wales.

A great bunch of folk, with a good mix of activities, and some very rare cars- highlights include an Izuzu Piazza and a Talbot Alpine..

A most easygoing time was had- and it was great fun to hang about with likeminded folks!

Bit of a blog about it here

We stayed the Friday night at the Llangollen Motor Museum- Camping in a field out the back.

Although facilities were very basic, the scene was stunning, and it had a veritable smorgesbord of scrap lying about to tempt us

We paid £4 for camping and £3 to get into the museum..worth it for the rocket cart alone!

Much quirkiness.  I like quirky  :sun:

 

Looking at the pics, I had a '72 Renault 16TL.  Proof, if ever it were needed, that VAG didn't invent fatal water ingress from the plenum!

 

It was an interesting car, which got more interesting when it started to change into reverse at 40mph

The one present was stunning-proper class in a glass.

That said it was a tie between the 'Tina estate and the Scimitar for me..

As part of the return journey from this festival of friviolity and foosty cars I had to help a mate out of a Kia Pride Raffle win shaped hole...

You can read of my suffering here- oddly enough it was not as bad as expected..

Cheers! Yeah it was a hoot-really good atmosphere:)

Sounds like a good time (and I thought I recognised the blog name, then I saw the E30 up top)!

 

Any idea of the story behind this? VW would be well into the 6n by a T-plate, unless it's an import?
