Wiltshire Steam and Vintage rally 2008
 

I had a brilliant day out today probably the best rally ive been to this year it was a wonderful setting. There was only one problem there was only 10 engines but apart from that it was brilliant, for those who went i managed to climb the big hill after ten minutes but well worth the views. The ploughings boys from Bristol were hard at work all day and looked like they were having fun and The Philadelphia looked the best ive seen it next to the organ in the sunshine all day. those who are near the tomo it well worth a visit and i saw at least one TT today with Burrell 3126 Tim Mayhew but did not get a chance to talk. i will post some pics once uploaded wont be long

cheers Robin

If they asked the local engines there would be more than 10 there - they seem to prefer to get engines from out of the area.

Great Rally it indeed was got burnt like hell but hey all part of the fun :) I can see my car in the hill shot

i also climbed the hill!! lovely view!! i was sad to see so few engines, but such a lovely setting!! should have taken the Wallis Reeder Express that i look after to boost numbers a bit and as she is on the poster for the rally!?! Gem :D
