Yesitisdakid Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 I am down here now with striderman and they're hardly going to be able to put any cars on Beach Road because both sides are full of tourists taking advantage of the beach very few parking spots available so I don't see them displaying the cars down here today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fforest Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 No problem that nice green park at Bali-hi would be a perfect place to have.......errrrr.......well.........About 10 years ago......Would have been a perfect place for the car show...

forcebwithu Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 I was wondering how that was going to work. Just didn't see Beach Rd as conducive to a car show, unless they closed it to traffic. The brain trust at City Hall must have been enjoying a hit of something at one of the local weed shops when they came up with this idea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year the first day of the car show was at Bali Hi and then they displayed them on Beach Road the next day. Also there is not a single poster or advertisement on Beach Road for the car show that supposed to be taking place this morning at 10:00 a.m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your first photo looks like an extremely posher version of my first ever car being a "Sit up and Beg" Ford Popular. I was 17 years old and drove 3,000 illegal miles before I passed my test. It cost me 25 GBP's and lasted me one year and two days until some drunk on Boxing Day drove into it whilst it was parked round the corner and wrote it off. The insurance company of the other driver paid me an "ex-gratia " payment of 35 GBP's and the Policeman who knocked on our door to tell me the good news offered me 5 pounds for the four tires which was about the only thing that survived the crash.🤣 Edited December 17, 2022 by Jambo 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a coincidence Jambo, i also had one and like you it was my first ever car, had it a couple of years then sold it for 25GBP. The customised one in Painters pic looks good imo.

Yesitisdakid Posted December 18, 2022 Author Share Posted December 18, 2022 Based on a talk with striderman It seems only a few classic cars. Mostly Imports and i am not interested in the imported rice rockets so did not miss a thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately they did not have to travel along soi casino en route, as most would have lost exhausts/bodykits/spines etc It killed a few minutes wandering around, but wasnt really my thing either. For me the worst thing, however, was the volume of the "music" being pumped out. Imagine the loudest gogo sound system on steroids, and then treble it.... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The customised one in Painters pic looks good imo. Apologies for the TF Mine was black, produced from a time when they were all black. I am not sure if they ever had synchromesh gear boxes but double declutching or "feeling" gear changes became the norm. The turn left/right indicators on mine were little arms that popped out from each door and were manually cable operated. I took my driving test in it having driven to the test center where for the first time I put the L-Plates on the car. The Examiner loved the car and even prompted me to have another go at answering a question I gave a stupid answer. It was the first, and only, time up to then that I managed to reverse the car round a corner without hitting the kerb. 🤣 I was still at school and had no income other than that from my paper rounds. To put petrol in it I had a length of hose pipe plus fishing line with a cork attached. Some woman's Triumph Herald became my de-facto filling station. 🤣 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After seeing the photos and reading your description of the "music", I don't regret missing the event either. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
