Hi all,

I missed this last year and was considering going this weekend. Was it any good last year.

I hope it was good last year as I'll be there for the first time on Saturday

I got an invite to this the other week but got to admit I hardly know any of the guests etc.

it was good, though why everyone wets their pants at the attendance of the bell that is Rawlings I have no idea

Likewise with the other 'celebrity' guests - never heard of half of them.

Well I will be there Sunday so fingers crossed. Some expensive machinery on display. Thought the entry fee was a bit steep for me and my son so bought a show car ticket in the end to keep it thrifty.

Went today, wasn't that impressed tbh. Not a huge deal of supercars, a few behind ropes and schmees cars. Pretty boring IMHO

Is it just me or is the petrolheadonism Instagram feed almost unusable? There is just so much ste on there.

I got 2x tickets off Groupon for £37 and I live a couple of miles away, not been before. I suppose I could have stood on the access road and watched all the nice cars go in for free. Will report back on my day. I have a free ticket to meet Tavarish of Youtube fame, and Matt Armstrong is supposed to be there interested in meeting both albiet for a minute.

should hope its free, who would pay to meet a youtuber?

[the-norseman]

Kids will.

What did you think of it?

I thought it was quite good. However it did feel like just a big meeting of car clubs and the addition of promotional stands. I only really like the older stuff, and there was plenty of that.

The 1930s gassers were amazing when they all fired up their engines. Summer interesting modded stuff and restos.

We couldn't be bothered to queue for the YouTubers, bit they all have a little chat on the stage. Ratarossa was there. We had lunch next to Calvin of Calvin Diaries. Saw Matt Armstrong's Maser, saw Boris the ticktock car on the Dyno. Next year I will walk in on the public rights of way, naughty but legal.

Sunday was very good. Lots of variety. Loads of supercars. Got to sit in a Aventador. Youtubers everywhere ( I got interviewed on behest of my son who thought it was hilarious, a chap was electrifying a TVR wedge/tasmin and as I had my Tuscan by the big wheel so he wanted to catch my opinion...Sacrilege!! ) Great day. I did hear that Saturday was much quieter.
