Old Sod's Sort Out

Doug and I made our bi-annual (is that twice a year or once every 2 years - I mean twice a year) trip to the Old Sods Sort Out at Newbury show ground in search of various components for our old stinky engines today.

Its 25C+ today which is very unusual for April. Last year I remember freezing there. Here's a few shots of the place.



Quite a crowd of mainly men (I guess 95% of them) with oily clothes, beer bellies and beards!



One of the younger enthusiasts discussing the price of an engine.



A beautiful Alice Chalmers tractor. The guy wanted £1000 for this one! If only...



An old speedway bike with JAP engine.



I've got one of these, but its not as complete as this one. Sadly I couldn't persuade the seller to tell me how much he wanted, all he would say is "Make me an offer, it won't be hundreds". Well I paid £20 for mine.
