Some pictures from the SODEM Road Run which took place near Lechlade in Gloucestershire today. 14 engines, an excellent turn out and almost no room left at the Inn!

Can somebody give me an idea where to get a XXL SODEM sweatshirt from?

Thanks,
George.

Why oh why can't we organize something in Essex like this ? ? ?
I'd be willing to help with the organization and take part, I don't yet have the knowledge or contacts. And I ain't going to get them sitting here, looking at other people enjoy their engines.
So come on Essex, we are way behind. Sod Christmas, that's the 25th of December NOT NOW. :mad:

Looked a very good event and perhaps a better way to enjoy an engine with good company, good beer, good fun.

Sadly I didn't quite get things sorted with machining so stayed and sulked & sucked me thumb, boo hoo !!

Could have sworn there was a Stanley steam pickup on the run, must have been too quick for your lens!

If you look carefully you'll see the Aveling in front in the 'race' photo!

A mighty fine engine though never the less.

Don't you know ?? Smelly Old Dirty Engine Metal. It's the lot of em, why people bother I'll never know. Lot to be said for a Citroen 2CV.

Davy the gist of the run is that there is a travelling scrappie who visits and brings some weighing scales and its a chance to see what you can get for your engine. He used to bring the cutting gear but a one legged midget on a unicycle used to grumble that the detritus left by the cutting up kept causing punctures so now its just a pocket weighbridge, a donkey and some sacks to carry the metal away. A bit like 'cash for gold' really.

Normally some do quite well and has been known for some engine owners to go away with an amount in double figures. !!! *cry
