    Events Old Rope Video Blog Vintage Driving Ford Truck
    It's time for some vintage driving, so today we're taking the Pick-Up out on to the open road before heading down to The 2018 Mount Edgcumbe Classic Car Show. It was a beautiful, hot sunny day, perfect for some motoring nostalgia browsing the hundreds of cars, meeting some great people and brewing up cups of tea in the shade of the truck ... We might even have won a little prize ... (Well, sort of ...)

    The Mount Edgcumbe Classic Car Show is a charity event held at the estate in Cornwall. Money raised goes to Cornwall Hospice Care https://www.cornwallhospicecare.co.uk

    With special thanks to the folks who appeared in our film and made our day what it was ...

    Pete the Chevrolet Man and provider of some much needed shade ... (Paint! We Don't Need No Stinkin' Paint!)

    The Owner of the massive American Dodge who was afraid of our rust but loaned me his state-of-the-art USB point to recharge my phone and without whom there would have been a lot less film footage ...

    'The Twins' ... Nice to see you again ...

    Bob, Ian & Jann for braving the heat and the crowds to come and say hello ...

    Gordon The Judge for being so nice and making our day ...

    Ian Webb and his very cool cars ... http://ianwebbspecialistcars.com

    And all the other great folks we chatted to over the day ...

    Shooting for the Stars as we launch Old Rope Salvage ...

    Shooting for The Stars ... Tim, Lisa & The Old Rope Truck under The Milky Way at Whitsand Bay in Cornwall

    It's official ... more or less ...
    ​The website is still a work in progress but Old Rope Salvage is open for business, with a new shop opened on Etsy and our little gallery and emporium in Crafthole filling up by the day.
    We celebrated with another night time photoshoot with Nick Turley, conditions being just right to capture the full glory of the truck and The Milky Way on the coast here at Whitsand Bay.
    It was a chilly night with a cool north breeze blowing and we warmed up between photos with coffee and blankets. We even had the luck to capture a spectacular moment as a bus roared past on the road below us, with lots of yelling as Tim leaped up onto the truck and Nick rushed to set the camera up just in time to capture the sweep of lights. We loved the incredible result, a truly magical moment.

    We will be adding to our shop one item at a time over the coming weeks. There is still lots to do, but we're excited to be up and running (or maybe taking a casual stroll!) at last. Do get in touch if you have any questions or enquiries, and look (or listen!) out for us and the truck as we rumble backwards and forwards around Torpoint and Crafthole. Weather permitting, we will also be taking her to The Classic Car Show at Tencreek Holiday Park near Looe on 18th September. Updates will undoubtedly follow!

    In the meantime, thanks again to Nick for these spectacular images of us and the truck. We shall treasure them.
