Woodvale 4th / 5th August
Discussion
I went today as well. I thought the old RR’s and Defenders with their fat tyres were good, there seemed to be loads of them there. Some of the stands seemed to be empty or only a few cars, maybe most people are turning up tomorrow? I remember last year there was a really decent turn out by the Porsche guys especially. All the model aircraft stuff is a bit different isn’t it? 
Standing a few metres from the Merlin (?) engines being fired up was good also.

Yes, it's a bit of a joke to not have a "one day only" ticket option, they basically force you to pay for both days, but we all know that 99.9% of people are not likely to go on both days. They are effectively doubling their money with this pricing setup...taking the piss imo. I know I'm moaning a bit and I didn't have to go if I didn't like it, it's just the principle of it that gets me 
Tis a bit steep now. It used to be about £12 a car full until a few years ago when Southport started their excuse for a car show and charged £7 to get in. Woodvale is 100 times better so it seemed silly of them to charge effectively less. I don't pay though otherwise I wouldn't be going both days!
Scout leaders must be rubbing their hands now!
It is always better on the Sunday, always has been, hell of alot more there! Although it might be pi$$ing down tomorrow

I went today (Sunday) and what an absolute scorcher it turned out to be. Plenty of motors old and new, enough marks to please most if not everyone. Although I have to agree the pricing is way over the top. But will still go next year though.
My favourite being the Junior 911 with petrol lawn mower engine. How cool was that!

Saw the weather this morning and ended up going again today. Yeah, there were loads more cars there today so was worth it. Did you see the kid nailing that mini Porsche around the field?!?...looked like fun 
I’ve put a few pics up here clicky if anyone’s interested. There’s one for you in there Pistuphead 
Oh yeah, one thing that annoyed me was the coppers with the speed gun waiting in the temporary 30 limit on the dual carriageway when leaving, heading away from Southport so there was nothing to stop the traffic flowing at normal speed
I think I was lucky not to get stopped (had clear dual carriageway in front of me with a 30 limit 
) as they were dealing with others at that moment, easy pickings or what, how to lose motorists respect in an afternoon...

That was when I had nipped out and couldn't bothered parking miles away so I blagged my way past a scout to park in the middle of the field
