Things to do in Wiltshire when you're...

[dkl]

a bit short of time.
Need to try and organise something a bit different for a mate for Sunday afternoon. He's getting married (poor chap) a couple of weeks later. Bit of a petrolhead but mainly very old things like Austin 7s and the like.
Nothing too sordid or outlandishly expensive.
Any ideas?

Cheers
David

Thanks All,
Ended up almost doing the museum in Calne, but he opted for Robot Wars in Swindon.
Not a great show, but they are quite interesting close up. Cheap is one thing they aren't, most of the big ones cost close to 5 figures to build and have bespoke ali castings and machinings.
The weaponery makes quite a noise close up!

Robot wars? As in the program? What was the deal with that being at swindon then?

Yes, as in the programme. A group calling themselves roaming robots www.roamingrobots.co.uk
do a show at various places around the country. It seems to include alot of the more popular robots from the show.
