It's been years since I have been to the 'pod'.   Used to go every year in my youth and went with the car club I was in for a few years.   That was back int he day when a customized car meant hand painted art work, sculptered body work and cleaming chrome V8's every where!  A custyom car now seems to be one with a big stereo system in it!!  lol.

This almost sounds like an idea to arrange a BM gathering at one of the POD events!
Weekend camping, lots of powerful big engines and a laugh or two on the way!!

Not been to the Pod since about 77, used to make bits out of high spec metals for some of the bike racers, ran the start up rollers early in the morning when nobody else wanted to get up. Distant memories.
