I was over in england at the mopar nationals two weeks back, man was it warm, i went over with a load of lads from our club here in ireland, it was a bit of fun, would have been happier to see a lot more chevys running, but it was the mopar boys running it , so most of the motors were dodges , plymouths.etc. there was a lot of hot rods in the car park, and these were fantastic......... heres a few pics from the weekend.http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb213/chevyv8_photo/IMG_0047-2.jpg,http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb213/chevyv8_photo/IMG_0020-2.jpg,http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb213/chevyv8_photo/IMG_0055-4.jpg,http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb213/chevyv8_photo/IMG_0361.jpg,http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb213/chevyv8_photo/IMG_0367.jpg,http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb213/chevyv8_photo/IMG_0386.jpg,http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb213/chevyv8_photo/IMG_0360-1.jpg,http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb213/chevyv8_photo/IMG_0065-3.jpg,http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb213/chevyv8_photo/IMG_0081-1.jpg,http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb213/chevyv8_photo/IMG_0089-1.jpg........hope you enjoy the pics.

Nice pictures Liam. Thanks for sharing. The green 55 Chevy was a flashback of one running around here years ago.

Santa Pod - didn't that used to be Podington Airfield? Where B-17 Flying Fortresses of the Mighty Eighth Air Force used to take off from to bomb the crap out of Germany and France? :thumbsup:

I used to bike to Santa Pod and watch all of the cars coming out after they were done, when I was a kid.
"Al's Gasser" was the local guy I remember because he use to have 2 cars almost identical. 1 was for the road and the other for the track.
