Looking good in the photo :)
Best of luck with the weather, just looked at the forecast and it looks to be dry from 10am to 6pm.

Went to Tenby today, which was a surprisingly nice place. The hot rods were going through scruteneering today.

Most of the cars are what a RatRod should be, just the bare essentials with the important bits in good condition & only the parts you need to make it move, stop & steer, rather than the "Welderup" type, where anything that looks old & knackered gets tacked to it, but there are some genuinely proper cars here too, steamliners made just for this event & what appears to be a 1923 indy 500 car, & there's no commercialisation, just some guys building stuff to run on the sand. The last photo in the above set - blueish green model A - has been driven here from Germany by a couple of young guys - good for them I say.
