Set up began in earnest on an almost deserted field about 10.15am, that deserted field wasn't to stay deserted very long......
First off the line and set up was Chris, who in Gods name brings a bleedin tea pot to a Rod Run? That said it gives Deano something to practice posing against!! ;D
Dranny plugs into the Pylon....

''So you want me to sleep with you two?''
Take a good look, do you think anyone in this picture knew just how good the next 48 hours would be?
As the nesting brothers had their 3some prey firmly surrounded, their fourth victim was in the background, yes, another tent, this time bigger and Joe was in thier sights.....
I kinda grew attached to that B4stard hat....
Colouring competition.... cool Stu!

And so, that was Friday, I woke Saturday moring to see this, how very english! The communal Kettle!
The most northerly members of the NHRC talk to Damian the 'Translator'
I've gotta say personally and on behalf of the club a HUGE thank you Paul & Joe for two days of terrific breakfasts for the whole club, lads you were the morning stars. So we need a sign, 'Drannys Caf' ;D
The second coming of the polishing cloth, is anything going to stop him now?
'Grum grabs a green un' ;D
'ya toucha ma car I breaka ya face'
I know, I know I look good even first thing in the morning.
So off me & D went to get some gas in his B and by eck does that motor pull now!
Back at NHRC base camp a walk round was in order....
This picture is timeless, could it be 1979?.....(if you ignore the MPV, caravan and Roof box of course)
Love the car - dont get the decor??
So cartoony, lovely rod.
Liam Maltby's Stretched Torment
Our on site Pit Crew Chris tends to Grums loos bits, not that Finger Tight' thing again, I really thought we'd left that behind, obviously not, bagsy not following Grum anything could come flying off!! ;D
The increasing number of NHRC cars line up for the Saturday Cruise....
Caption time....
I Fancy one of these
Ray's brothers rod up for the week end, its a real clean thing...
So after the cruise to the Air Museum, refreshed and ready to re charge for the assault on to what would become a messy Saturday night, a happy band of Hot Rodders returned to rest and feed.
Micky T always was Fu....ahem, good Cooker, closely watched by Jamie Oliver Jnr... ''Tha dunt cook them like that tha sees, thas oldin thi poker wrong''
''Quick throw some water on it and drag it back in the sea before it dies''
Even ''Jamie Oliver'' had to be put down for an afternoon nap, lovin the sox by the way!!
...And whilst some dined, others built like Camels hibernated and fed off their surplus store..... ;D
and we finally found a use for Chris, knew we would......
