Wow.

It was very hot.

It was very busy.

It had around 600 cars on display.

Big crowds.

Some nice tottie about.

Lovely bacon or sausage butties for £2.50. Massive cups of tea for £1.

Cheap beer in the bar. I got £30 out of a cash machine on my way there because I only had a fiver and some change in my poket. Had two butties, one tea, a go at the archery, one pint of John Smiths (extra cold), one can of fanta, and a 99 ice cream.
Still had the £30 in my pocket when I got home.

I didn't have anyones eye out with the archery.

Not a single Mopar. Except a very impressive 1938 Chrysler.

There would have been even more cars at the show if the silly owners had turned up before the strict "no entrants after 11am" rule came into force. Which meant there were a lot of good cars out in the public car park.

I twice had to sit in the car with the AC on to cool off because the shade was just not cool enough.

The show made it on the local BBC TV news last night.

Great day. :thumbright:

Photos are up.

These were taken early in the morning before the sun came out to play and before it got busy with visitors.

The Granada with the 351 V8?

Looked a mess to me with those wheels and a few other home made alterations that look really bad.

But in the hands of someone with taste and goods hands I think it could be a bloody good car that one. Just needs taking apart and doing properly.
