Holiday Hotspots - the Dregs of Derbyshire.

Where the lost, lonely and mentally ill can now be found chatting about MISERABLE motor vehicles. No O/T posts.

Holiday Hotspots - the Dregs of Derbyshire.

Postby Seth » Sun Aug 09, 2015 10:42 pm

No foreign travels for us this year, just a week or so in the peaks. Here's some of it.

It always even feels exciting to be at the service stations abroad. Less so at Leicester Forest East.

Image

Museum of Childhood at the 17th century Sudbury house.

I like the fact that the space warriors of the '50s future used '58 Fords to chase after the aliens/cosmonauts.

Image

This is more like it.

Image

Crich Tram Museum. Having driven up to it along some very steep and winding roads I realised why it is called that. 'Crich! - its up there?!'

Drive there in an old car on a quiet day and you can get to park it in the museum street itself.

Image

Image

Which way Blackpool?

Image

Early Ford content YKT

Image

Its you isn't it.

Image

Duck!

Image

BEST TOILET

Image

This was Camp_Seth.

Image

Local town Ashbourne had a couple of time warp shop fronts. There was also a traditional looking antiques shop until you realised there were loads of 50s/60s British bikes parked inside.

Image

Image

We went cycling. No crashes or 'DISCO CYCLE PARTY'

Image

Camaro or Firebird had wedding ribbons attached.

Image

Matlock was a flippin' depressing place. Absolutely stuck in about 1964. Good traffic though.

Image

Image

We were not the only non modern Diesel on the campsite for several days.

Image

SS Jag or replica?

Image

AUNTIE

Image

Had reason to take a trip to Manchester on the Sunday. Saw a Beetle.

Image

Parked in cinema car park. When we came back wondered if BIG MUJ had taken a similar photo. Probably not.

Image

Wondered why someone might be chucking nuts and bolts of the top of a natural cliff/cave face.

Image

This would be a lovely '30s village scene if that modern car hadn't been in the way.

Image

Most annoying spot of the holiday was this Golf. ANnoying because two days before there'd been a Renault 12 Estate there too. Looking on Google I think the owner is a serial chod-botherer.

Image

On the last day we happened across a proper garage.

Image

Old stuff in the window for sale.

Image

And some proper old stuff inside mostly covered up and there was a very interesting vintage sports/race car under a cover.

Image

This might have been the gaffer just taking a B out for test run and the other bloke didn't seem to want to chat.

Image

Top o th hills.

Image

End.
Not Always Auto

Rootes built Cortinas under licence and just changed the badging.

I particularly like the Granada and FD in 1960s Matlock.
