I'd pass on the Pencoed show, it used to be OK but last year they told me to park next to a line of Newish 4x4's????
I thought it was supposed to be a classic car show When I asked to park somewhere else I was told no & to 'F' off, so I drove home
The organisers of this have the wrong attitiude very similar to the Skewen club who's shows I also use dto attend
Only classic car show show worth doing IMO is Newport 'Tredegar Park' which is in September.

Been going to this for years and is a great day out. One of the rare FREE shows around.
Get there early as it gets very busy and can be a pain to find parking.

Went to the Coleford show today. Newtown Motors cars were looking very nice in the sunshine

Was ok for an hour or so, not enough to keep me occupied longer than that, but maybe I am getting too fussy! Free park & ride service works well.

Was going to go but went too castle combe instead. Glad i did the ff1600 race was brilliant.

I thought the same. Not as good as in previous years.

my first time at this show, well organised event with great access for exhibitors and public .
its a different event to most shows as it takes place in the town centre, it was very busy all day. we had a chance to look around the show, there was a good mixture of classics , car clubs , commercials and bikes.
the jaguar display was very good.
i want an alfa sz. nearly bought one in 98, one of life's regrets.

It also went on longer than in previous years, the park and ride bus was up and down our road for hours .... long enough for me to have spent two hours in the morning mooching around the show and then washing 3 cars in the afternoon...

ETA - The Alfa SZ is a regular - has been attending for a long as I can remember..
