The Bromley Pageant of Motoring
« on: June 09, 2012, 12:24:22 PM »
If you fancy a day out at a classic car show tomorrow [10th June] there will be a microcar presence at the Bromley Pageant, find the Heinkel Trojan foundation stand and there will be a display of the big three most iconic bubblecars, Schmitt, Heinkel and Isetta any colour you want so long as its red!  See you there!

Oi! DUF is a Trojan not "a bleedin' 'einkel"!  (© Battle of Britain film)

See you there tomorrow Bob, looking forward to it. The weather is looking better than it was yesterday so fingers crossed. I am bringing a small carton of bubblecar shaped chocolate coated biscuity mallowy comestibles, otherwise known as the RUMsters Membership Card! Sadly DUF is still off the road, untaxed un-Motd and un-insured as I have been too pre-occupied recently, but Googo is helping with his trailer, cheers Goggo!

It's in Norman Park, Bromley and usually lots of interesting vehicles to see and lots of stalls.

By brolly, do you mean the sad remains of what used to be my brolly before I lent it to someone?! I also have a Waterproof cycle thingy which is not very waterproof.
G is arriving at my place to load up DUF at 5.30, so we should be there by about 6 am. He then will have to go home and collect his new toy and return. H is prepared for bad weather and is putting up his Arctic-Himalaya-Day-After-Tomorrow Extreme Survival Gazunder. Er, I mean Gazebo.

It's only a 6 pack of Tunnocks, sadly.
Five for me, and one for you and goggo to share!
I was also going to get some Baclava from the Turkish shop but ran out of time...crispy filo pastry with honey and nuts, YUM!

You'll see some photos soon enough!
Oi Bob, wake up, you've overslept, we're all here, where the hell are you? Goddam lazybones, can't even be bothered to get up at 4 am like any normal decent civilised human being!  ;D

Is Goodo Goggo's brother?

Waiting for Goodo, a famous play as it Becketts it down? I hope not after the effort of getting up so early to get on site, sorted. Such dedication deserves the best of weather.

Just got back and what a nice day we had, it was dry more or less all day, a few spots of rain about 4.00pm. There was a great deal of interest in our little line up of red bubbles, all three of us spent all day chatting with the public about the cars, rubbishing Jeremy Clarkson and his no reverse gear theories. We heard a new one today though, as a gent was walking past we heard him say to his companion "all these bubblecars have wankel rotary engines in them you know!"  Said with such authority too! It was a real treat to see an Ogle mini there, the first time I have ever seen one, a beautiful Tom Karren design. I'm sure Planty will post a photo. Also had a good look at the new Renault Twizzy. Thanks Mike for inviting me again and thanks Marcus for the Tunnocks tea cakes!
