Title: Three Wheels On My Wagon
Post by: Bush Tucker Man on March 18, 2005, 21:45:10
I was in Wakefield this afternoon before going to pick 'small-child' up, as I'd gone to pick up a couple of books I'd ordered at Ottokars.

Walking back up to the Hospital where I park (I've got a free permit as it's 'one of ours' & only 200yards from the school, & 600yards from the city-centre)

I was cutting up one of the streets that retains part of its Georgian features & saw this parked up just below the 'Inns Of Court' (exactly what you think it is)

2 great titles....

Reliant, the same people who do the reliant robin range (or plastic pig :lol: ). Also the scimitar.
Looks like one of their front ends

'The Great North Road - A Guide For the Curious Traveller'
A guidebook from end to end of the A1, laid out like the Alfred Wainwright fell-walking books, with seeminlgy countless excellent illustrations

'Yorkshires Historic Pubs
I don't drink but appreciate the varied architecture & the social role of the older 'proper' pubs

if you like your Scammells, book the weekend of 7/8 May off.
There's the 'Scammell Gathering & Tractor Working Weekend'[/i] at Ackworth.
It's quite well attended (not just by Scammells & tractors)

It's held up near the water tower & the
Plague Stone (http://community.webshots.com/photo/97485799/101102622UagwOR)

Location (http://uk.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?client=public&X=444500.000000384&Y=419000.943551598&width=500&height=300&gride=444700.000000384&gridn=418899.943551598&srec=0&coordsys=gb&db=grid&addr1=&addr2=&addr3=&pc=&advanced=&local=&localinfosel=&kw=&inmap=&table=&ovtype=&zm=1&scale=25000)

It's a straight run for you from Sheffield; M1 to Barnsley. Off at 37. Follow A628. Through Barnsley, Cudworth, Hemsworth & Ackworth.


Although on odd occassions it has been held at the
Old Post Office (http://uk.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?client=public&X=430000.999999429&Y=411500.940529159&width=500&height=300&gride=429799.999999429&gridn=411699.940529159&srec=0&coordsys=gb&db=grid&addr1=&addr2=&addr3=&pc=&advanced=&local=&localinfosel=&kw=&inmap=&table=&ovtype=&zm=1&scale=25000) at the side of the M1 at jct 38

I'll post this again & further details closer to the event as a reminder

I saw a Scarab for sale last week (Sunday 17th April) whilst on my way back from the east coast (of Yorkshire).
It was in a garage in a village called Rillington (http://uk.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?client=public&X=484500.00000414&Y=474000.967867267&width=500&height=300&gride=484700.00000414&gridn=473999.967867267&srec=0&coordsys=gb&db=grid&addr1=&addr2=&addr3=&pc=&advanced=&local=&localinfosel=&kw=&inmap=&table=&ovtype=&zm=1&scale=25000)on the A64 to the east of Malton, in a garage called Mathersons.
They also had a few other classics in, including a Standard 10.

Also a few miles further east (in Sherburn? (http://uk.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?client=public&X=495500.000007865&Y=477000.969146599&width=500&height=300&gride=495600.000007865&gridn=476799.969146599&srec=0&coordsys=gb&db=grid&addr1=&addr2=&addr3=&pc=&advanced=&local=&localinfosel=&kw=&inmap=&table=&ovtype=&zm=1&scale=25000)) there's a garage with a very nice looking Austin Gypsy for sale

Saw a trio of Reliants this morning near Penistone, including a 1950's(?) Regal

Would that be called a 'pride' of Reliants?? :)

It is unusual to see one on the road now, never mind 3 together

Do they go round in 3s 'cos they're scared? or is a a 3-wheeler thing, everything in 3s.
