Popham Classic Vehicle Rally - May 2004

Return To Car Show Selection

The venue was the Popham Air Field just up the A303 from Andover towards London. Hundreds of cars and motorcycles were on display, these ranged from the very first cars that hit our roads all those years ago to BIG black American hearse that may have delivered Elvis to his resting place.

Porsche had one of the biggest displays there and was a beautiful sight to see, many visitors who braved the rain enjoyed viewing all the different Porsche cars on display.

The numerous trade stands sold all sorts of bits and pieces for those attending to buy and view, there were also fair ground rides to enjoy. This is just a small list of waht was on offer.   Books, pictures, sketches and mags
  Models and craft ware
  Overalls and uniforms
  Aircraft parts and disabled (hopefully) munitions
    And best of all, hot drinks, doughnuts and burgers!

Unfortunately due to very heavy, non-stop rain at Popham, I negated my opportunities to walk round in the heavy rain taking pictures for the site, the only pictures I have are us travelling from Weymouth, Dorchester and finally Blandford to Popham.

As you will see in the 5th picture the heavens were just starting to open up on our very cleanly prepared Porsches.

All of us that travelled from the Weymouth / Dorchester area were able to get into designated Porsche parking and had a great time sharing Porsche stories under the R17 Hants, Wilts and Dorset Gazebos.
It was a real shame that we couldnt share our cars in more detail with each other, the driving rain limited what we were able to do, all those hours of cleaning, life can be very stressful!
