Custom Car March 2022의 목차

The good news is, that after a couple of years absence, Wheels Day is firmly back on the calendar for 2022. The date is 15 April, Good Friday, and the venue is Rushmoor Arena, Aldershot, Hants. The family-orientated day out runs from 10am to 4pm, and anything interesting on wheels will be made welcome. Additional attractions include trade stands and market, funfair and caterers. Show car admission is by pre-entry only, with application soon to be live online at www.surreystreetrodders.com. It just so happens that 2022 sees legendary former pirate broadcasting station, Radio Caroline, celebrate its 58th birthday. Now fully legit and thriving, the station also offers a DAB service in the Aldershot area, so Radio Caroline is the official radio station for Wheels Day 2022, and will be enthusiastically…

For those attending in a show vehicle, they are priced at £12 per person, or £20 per person for all others. www.hotrodandcustomshow.co.uk…

Another new event that came to my attention in 2021 was the simply titled Bike & Hot Rod Show. Organised by the local 46 Crew Motorcycle Club, the one-day show held on Bank Holiday Monday at Wendron Cricket Club in Helston, Cornwall was a really great chilled out gathering. Cars were parked around the outside of the pitch, with bikes, trikes and scooters bundled into the middle. Refreshments could be found in the on-site clubhouse and local bands and singers provided entertainment throughout the day. a really great chilled out gathering Better still, the entry fee was just £5 with all profits being donated to the Cornwall Air Ambulance charity – an amount totalling in excess of £3,500. The team behind the show pulled off a great day and I hear…

Anyone interested in having their workshop featured is invited to contact Machine Mart by email to socialmedia@machinemart.co.uk or via social media.…

There’s a new show on the block, and the Vultures are behind it. That means no egos, no trophies, just good times, lots of beer and a shared love of the right kind of cars. If that sounds like a bit of you, block off 27-29 May in your diaries and pre-book your tickets now. Acknowledging the ‘street is neat’ era of hot rodding, any pre-’75 trad’ rods, customs, bikes, vans and drag-inspired machinery are welcome, and there will be a vaguely organised drive out on the Saturday to the Haynes Motor Museum, with preferential parking in the paddock and reduced entry for participants. Outta sight Ade will be sorting out bands and DJ’s for both nights, so expect a twangy, ’60’s garage band style to go with the laid…

It must be two or three years ago now that I made mention of murmurings relating to the possible introduction of noise cameras in a bid to combat the ever-increasing problem of overly loud vehicles on our roads. Since then, it all went quiet (pun intended) on that front. As can easily happen in such matters, though, things were not as quiet as I thought. Noise cameras were installed in Chelsea towards the end of September and, reportedly, in the first 11 days of being switched on were activated 130 times. Noise output for new cars is limited to 74 decibels, so presumably the cameras trigger if that level is exceeded. Again, only reportedly, one so-called ‘supercar’ was clocked at 104dB. Presumably, cars’ registration details will need to be checked…

‘The Patch’ is not a patch on what ‘The Patch’ used to be. I am, ‘The of course, referring to Famoso Raceway, known as ‘The Patch,’ and the California Hot Rod Reunion. Blame Covid and a changing world, but the 29th edition of the Reunion appeared considerably smaller than previous years, with a race car count of some 300, compared with possibly as many as 600 in past years. There were only nine Top Fuel dragsters, for example, and 17 Funny Cars, though Ron Hope did a great job of corralling 10 AA/Fuel Altereds for a spectacular show. 10 AA/Fuel Altereds fora spectacular show The Swap Meet seemed smaller too, though that’s probably due to the internet, the Grove was sparsely populated and the Cacklefest was a mere 20 cars,…

The Vintage Hot Rod Association (VHRA) continues to plough its own furrow in the hot rod world, putting on a series of events aimed squarely at those with a more period disposition. The club’s annual swapmeet doesn’t have the breadth of parts of offer that you’ll find at the similar NSRA events but that’s a deliberate move to differentiate the two. Open to club members and non-members, the one rule – request would be a better word – is that “those trading keep it in the ballpark of the vehicles and era the VHRA pitches itself at.” Lifestyle stuff is welcome, alongside the car bits and associated literature, but this is the place to head if you’re looking for original early Ford parts, and the location at the 1940s Camp…
