Click on an image for a choice of dozens of videos for your delight.
Buses
From the 20s to current. There are petrol/electric, single deckers, double deckers and coaches.
Classic and Historic
If an interesting car doesn’t come under any of the other headings, and it’s not veteran or vintage, it might be here.
Hampton Court Concours
In my opinion, the best value for money car show there is, despite it not being cheap. It’s an annual pilgrimage.
Marques
There’s Mercedes, Invicta, MG, Gilburn, VW, great big American things, and, of course, TVR. And that’s not to mention the ones I haven’t.
Models
These are not toys. There are model boats that took as long to make as the full size, and 1/5 model racing cars. Not for kids.
On the Road
Two Heavy Commercial Goods Vehicles Rallies are seen as they appeared to us in Burgess Hill. There are other road events as well.
Miscellaneous
If I can’t fit it in any of the other classifications, it goes in here.
Cars racing
We go from the beautiful JPS Lotus above to a rather bewildering, and apparently bewildered, Trabant.
Steam
Dirty great big steam, miniature steam, and, as can be seen in the image, the smallest, full-sized steam roller.
Trains
The title is plural but, at the moment, I’m limited to one train video. Its of the narrow gauge line at Amberley. More to come.
London to Brighton Veteran Car Run
It’s been called, ‘The Best Free Car Show in the World’, and it is difficult to disagree. It all but runs past my house each year. Enjoy.
Vintage Vehicles
If it’s not veteran yet is still pre-war, then it will have a video on here. Impossible to list all the delights in just three lines of text.

is changing
It’ll probably be mid November. I’ll give a heads up on here nearer the date.
the new website will still be called Writewheel.uk.
there will be links to the videos and also pages on photography and images.
The autumn Miniature Steam day at Amberley Museum was a treat. Lots of vehicles, and the owners were only too willing to drive them around the grounds. The main display area, immediately as you enter the museum, was packed, with movement all day.
There were quite a few visitors, and lots of kids. Those exhibiting were only too pleased to explain their vehicles to bewildered questioners. A great day’s entertainment.
