Anyone going to this tomorrow? anyone exhibiting

My first time and looking forward to it - born in 1970 so probably the right age to appreciate the cars.....

I'll be there in the Orion. Ive been looking forward to the show for ages. It will be nice to go to a show with some really rare cars, rather than rows of E-Types and such like.

I was born in 1973 so probably grew up with the same cars!

According to the BBC website, the weather doesn't look too bad. Showers early on and later in the day.

We had a brilliant time, so many rare and interesting cars, so many memories and knowledgeable owners

Lovely weather, loads of cars kept arriving, then the Max Max escapee club turned up, unrelated, at the house, absolutely brilliant!,

Really enjoyed the show, walked round with a big grin on my face seeing cars I'd not sen for years. The weather was good aswell, if a little breezy at times.

The Orion attracted some nice comments aswell which always helps!

Heads up.

Got an email today giving details of this year's event.

From the interest shown from last year's event in another thread,I'd book early.
