Afternoon everyone!

I hereby announce the next show in the PHEA 2012 Calendar. After a couple of new shows, we return to an old favourite, the Newmarket Two Counties Motorshow, which this year is being held on Sunday 24th June.

In the past there has been much to see from the various car clubs to the dealer stands showing off their latest wares, all emcompassed by the wonderful setting at the Newmarket race course. This year should prove no different thumbup
Full details of the show can be found at their WEBSITE, HERE.

Entry for us is absolutely FREE, although we must on site by 9am.
So, I propose that we meet at Waitrose in Newmarket, as before, at 8:30am - CLICK HERE for a Map Link smile

All that is left for you to do is add your name to the list on this thread. As ever, you can also contact me direct via email, or there is the NEWFacebook Page, where you will be able to add your name to the Event smile

Darren

I was about to ask if my tastefully modified MB CL500 was nice enough, but I might see if my old man can come in the F430 spider instead now.

The CL500 would be fine and I'm sure there will be room for the 430 as well smile

Hi Darren,

What's the earliest we can leave? I know that is a little negative but I have family coming so wouldn't be able to stay until the afternoon, is that ok?
Thank you in advance.

Cheers
Gareth

As with the Barrow show, the weather forecast put off everyone but me from attending this show - I really must be mad nutshehe

As mentioned, I was already to take the DB9 along, however the battery was completely flat, despite being on trickle charge for a couple of weeks! Fortunately I had the Mercedes all waxed, so I took her along instead.

After it rained on the journey there, the weather seemed to clear a little, however there were several heavy showers throughout the day!

The show itself was very good, with plenty to see. Compared to previous years, the classic and sports car side was a little low on numbers which one can only assume was because of the weather.
The quality, however, was very good, and the dealer stands had plenty to see.

All said and told, it was a good day out smile

CLICK HERE to view my photos from the day.

See you all for the next PHEA Event, the Sunny Hunny Run on Sunday 8th Julydriving
