Hi guys, I'll shortly be one of the many Grockles that invade your part of the world in the summer months. In the Torbay area for a fortnight mid July. Are there any car shows/meets on in the area?

Had a good day out at Powderham castle a couple of years ago on the back of a recommendation, wondered if much else is on?

Many thanks

Hi,

WessexRFC has a charity bash going at Exeter rugby club 27th July, not sure if this fits your timeframe?

The event at Sherborne Castle is on the 21st July - similar to the Powderham event with some supercars and hotrods thrown in.

That powderham show is on again 13/14 July. I'm booked in on a trade stand with my 924, and representing my local advanced drivers group. smile

Sunday 7th July - This is the one you want.....if you have a decent car to drive (e.g. not a caravan tow car)

more than welcome to join us, and you'd get to see the Haynes motor museum with 400 cars on display

Thanks for the responses, the 7th and 14th are both dates I'll be around, we're away again just before the Sherbourne show sadly, looks like a decent day out.

Haynes motor museum now on my radar too though sadly the derv saloon will be the mode of mobility for the time we're down so a PH run is very likely out!

Your welcome to still come along in a diesel, we have a guy who used to drive a 320d and wring its neck.
Yu know you'd rather come down in the focus !!

I'd be there in a diesel if I wasn't thrashing it at up Shakey on the 7th. smile
