Custom Car Open Evening at Valley Gas Speed Shop

On the 4th of July, The Valley Gas Speed Shop opened it's doors for a custom Car Show and open evening.

Sadly the weather was rubbish and it rained heavily but it did not dampen the spirits of the people at the event. For the first 100 guests free hot dogs were available along with tea, coffee and beer with a good range of rock and roll music playing to add to the atmosphere. As the prospect of free refreshments, Maddi accompanied me for this event.

It was good to catch up with friends and see what projects Valley Gas are working on.

Below are my photo's from the event.

Free Beers, other brands were not available.

This was a great event with a lovely atmosphere that was well attended.

I'm hoping that another event like this or a Chilli Night will be on the cards in the future as they are great fun. For more on those, please see my previous blog posts about them.

Valley Gas Speed Shop Chilli Night 2019

I attended the 2019 Chilli Night at the Valley Gas Speed shop in Andover, this was a charity event in aid of Naomi House.

The Valley Gas Speed shop from time to time open up their doors for like minded people to enjoy an evening of cars, music, alcohol, burlesque a charity auction, and chilli.

Destination Anywhere DJ's got the party started, The Hawkmen bought live music, The Burlesque dancers were Miss Sugar Rush, Missy Malone and Aurora Galore.

It was a fantastic evening that made a lot of money for Naomi House with great entertainment, a great atmosphere and a chance to catch up with friends.

Massive thanks to Jimmy and Eloise and the staff of the Valley Gas Speed Shop for putting on a great evening.

Below are the Photos from the event.

Outside

This Ford Hot Rod called Delilah was my car of the day. The look of the car, details on the car and the noise from the Ford 347 Cubic Inch Stroker engine are amazing. This was made in Dearbourne Michigan and shipped to the UK by the owners and its thought that this is the only one like it in the country.
