A tad optimistic!
Well what a wet day!
But no matter how much rain him above throws at us, the boys and lasses from Bristol still know how to have a great day out. The Bristol Harbourside Rally & Running Day 2009 was what one would deem as a “Wash Out”, with high winds and torrential heavy showers for much of the day, some vehicle owners, stall holders and the general public decided to stay at home (Unfortunately), which was a bit disappointing, but the SWPG was still there in force (4 Vehicles), and still managed to operate in service all day.
Well done to the lads at the BVOC (John Hitchings & his crew), who despite the torrid conditions still managed to put on a great day, and us Bristolians can be proud off!
There were only about 60 or so vehicles which turned up, even though they were turning away entries last week when numbers reached the 100 mark. What amazed me is the amount of vehicle owners, who decided to disappeared halfway through the day and go home??
Anyway I did manage to get some half decent pictures (and not one of my Tiger ;-), in between all the rain. Let’s just hope we get better weather for Cheltenham next week ;-), and it would be nice to see some of the “Lads” (You know who you are ;-) from the Potteries down for what should be a belting one off occasion.
We do like to be optimistic in the South West, but not many takers for these buses today.
