Classics on the Common

[Sir Bagalot]

After 5/6 years I finally managed to get to this. Very worth while. Excellent cross range of vehicles to suit all tastes.

A few of the pics

A lovely Audi Coupe.


Lovely example. 6.3 litre as well


I love this for some reason...

Me and a mate have our annual pilgramige to this.

Each year we come up with a list of classifications we must find cars for. Mine this year were;
Best car to have sex in ; blue key land mini estate
Best getaway car; the 6.3litre merc as pictured above
Car our girls would hate us to bring home: 70s Oldsmobile
Car that would make the journey home without breaking down; Maserati bi-tur be convertible
Best commercial vehicle: some chicken shed hot rod.

Great afternoon out with so much to see, loved the Maserati 5000, some great Ferraris and Jaguars. Nice to see an Alan Mann Homage Cortina and the Martini Porsche was exquisite.

Only sour note was a couple of coppers trying to catch people for speeding as they left - in Spain they would have been clapping and cheering - very mean spirited IMHO

I expect they are just trying to show the locals that they are managing the traffic. I bet the council and police get loads of complaints every year from locals, just due to the amount of stress it causes them, which i can understand. If reassuring the local's means having a few traffic police around then I think that's fair enough.

unless I missed something the Police presence was again pretty restrained, only "having a word" when really needed

as usual the behaviour was pretty good bar the odd couple of chavwagons that always show up as the show is finishing just to show off. They just look embarassing tbh

They were speedgunning people between the common and the Redbourn roundabout - ironically the person they were booking as I walked past seemed to be a lady in a fiesta on her way home from work...
