Loving the AE86!

Wish I could have made it, was at Beaulie just a few weeks ago but a bit too far to justify going back for this. Is Top Gear open now?

Nice pics, I was there with the integra DC5 owners, we managed to get a really nice display spot out of the way, next to the museum itself.

It was my first time at Beaulieu in a show context, and really enjoyed it, the grounds are really suited, and it was great to get access to the museum and house/grounds as part of the tenner show price...bit of a bargain all told.

It felt similar to japfest in terms of sheer numbers, well worth going to!

Ah, but which one? smile

The black 240Z for me.thumbup

My chariot got papped (page 2). bowtie

Ticket price was stonkingly good value. And decent weather too.
I was a bit dubious when I left home as it was chucking it down.
Glad I didn't chicken out.

I'd be amazed if they maintain the £10 ticket price, far too cheap (not that i'm complaining)...it could be £20 a head and still represent a very good value day.

I hope they don't follow the trend of so many events where the promoters begin to focus on the income stream to the detriment of the original ethos and spirit. It nearly always ends up becoming a corporate fest and poor value for money. I'm old enough to remember when Goodwood was far more 'grass roots' than it is now.

The £10 admission was near enough a 50% discount on the normal advance booking ticket price. I'm pretty sure that Beaulieu will still have turned a profit given the number of entrants. Most of whom probably wouldn't otherwise have been there.
