That is the first pic I have seen of that yellow car I remember from there and I don't remember seeing it since!
Sarah Bradley's car came from Falkirk. Owned by a guy called McFadgen. I talked to Sarah about the car way back st one of the Avon Park MoPar Nats and she did come all the way up here to get it from ... Kenny, I think his name was. It was/is a nice car.

The photos are from 1992.

You are right about the thunderstorm. There were a lot of oil downs, and I was in the fire up lane in the GN and you could see the black clouds rolling in, and the lightning in the distance. Once the rain started, we headed back up the road, four up, cruise'n'a/c on, Rain X-a-go-go.

It seems a million years ago now :(

Edit: or maybe it wasn't ? There was one time I went to Avon Park ... left Glasgow at 1800. Went to the Edinburgh Cruise till 0200, then set off down to Avon Park, raced all day and drove home. Those were the days :)

Ya got me on the striped Roadrunner and black Coronet Sandy, but...

The Sunfire 68 Roadrunner was Pete Webb's. Got rear ended as he was waiting to turn into Avon Park that weekend - see the rear bumper is all bent? Pete kept it for years after, but rarely took it out again. Jim Wilson had that car recently.

The bright yellow Pro Street 68 Satellite was built by Tony Jarvis for Paul Ungless, then bought back from him. Tony still has the car.

Can I go to bed now?

Missed you at Brookie today, Adam. Said "Hi" to Caroline who said I was being very quiet. Amazing what a serious attempt on the 12s from a 318 (All be it wiv "cheating gas", according to Mrs Tig!) will do to a bloke. Still; 12 and the change on Friday at the Nats means I can go chicken oriental again!

It was owned and "restored" to that condition by a guy that lived near me. It then went to an idiot in Segefield where it had diff problems and no-one around there had a clue how to fix it. That would be around 1991 or 92.

The pink "T/A" was a 318/4-speed car that was originally painted pink with multi coloured stripes by Dave Billi-do and his dad. Back when Dave was about 17 or something. It later was owned by a guy at Whitley Bay down the road from me. It got the T/A treatment by the next owner.

as far as I know (Steve AllKiller may confirm/correct me), the green 69 roadrunner RRX972H definitely used to belong to Tony Walden of Kings Langley, nr Watford back in the late 80's / early 90's. He may even have been the 1st UK owner. I seem to remember talking to him about the US owner it was bought from.

Stu & I went to see the car at his place to borrow some bits off his kickdown linkage so we could get some made, as ours didnt have all the bits when we went big block in 1987. So I reckon it was about a year after that, that Tony had the car, say '88 or '89. Maybe earlier.
He definitely still had it in 91 cos we went to this show together (see below). Sorry it's more a pic of our car but I havent scanned them all from that show.

Not sure when he got rid, but it went to a lady down on/near the south coast, Southampton IIRC.

I am sure it was definitely up here. But the guy that had it may have been full of bull about doing the work on it. I suspected that at the time. I will have some photos of it from about 1990-92 at South Shields somewhere. I might have got the dates worng but it was around that time I think.

i also think Tony from kings langley was the first owner of RRX972H it was about 89 , because when i saw him at the pod ( RYWB) i asked where his green 68 charger was. i use to see it quite a few times at the pod in 88 . green 68 with 69 grill reg no ,EGC***X i think

The red Charger is Kiwis .
The yellow 68 Runner is being restored by Richard Brezinski and is now B5 blue. It was years ago known as CHANTILLY LACE and raced in a red white blue striped livery.
The white Duster is possibly (?) a Hang 10 that I saw at Brooklands Motorvatin USA event in 1994, I recognise the wheels. Cant find a pic though
