It's not what is was which is a shame, maybe they will have somebody who can actually sing on Sunday night at a volume that you can still hear somebody screaming in your ear 2ft away.

Perhaps you can attend and do the honours?

My comment (tongue in cheek) was suggesting that Phaeton should hold the mic and give us a song if he can do better. Not wishing to make an argument, but it's all well being critical, but how would Phaeton improve the show? If he has sound ideas, maybe he could approach the organisers (he may even gain some cash?) with his good ideas. Saying 'it isn't what it used to be' isn't constructive, and may discourage others from going.

Van packed and ready to leave in the morning (friday). Expect to arrive late Saturday night, I hope they keep the gates open through the night.

Great weekend! We enjoyed every minute. Many thanks to all those that stopped by to look at our Exocets.
The Sunday night musicians were brill, very talented and not too loud. Those that went to the efforts of fancy dress were shocking and fun.
The show had some interesting offerings my favourite was the DeHavailand F48. A fresh look for the kit car buyer.

There were some hugely high quality Cobras and the like in the halls, we were very busy on the Sunday but as usual it was less busy on the Monday.
A slightly smaller show than previous years as expected, it was a fantastic weekend. The weather was good too but cold which no doubt held the numbers back a bit. Let's hope the organisers made enough money despite letting thousands in for free if they drove a kit car.
Outside it was as impressive as ever, my vote for top display was the Beach Buggies. Well done guys, some were ridiculously brilliant and others a work in progress but all were very impressive.
Next stop is the new show Kitfest at Santa pod on the 16th June.

Had a good weekend as usual with the JPSC guys. Show was quieter than previous years and the HS2 works didn't help but I'll be back again next year.

Can't agree on either of those points though. The band were fire and the DeHaviland deserved the ugliest car award.

The DeHavilland looks like a cross between an Elemental RP1 rip-off (right down to the colour scheme) and a spider version of the VX220.

How did I miss that....? Oh well, beauty is in the eye, life would be dull if we all liked the same things etc. etc.

Enjoyed the show and catching up with people despite shrinking size as Adi said.

The AB Performance guys would get my prize, some nice looking chassis work there. And I’d still love a GTD 70. Some of the Z3 and other body conversions seem to be improving in quality, not really my cup of tea though. Still a great club turnout from the Westie guys and others outside.
