Really retro show

Post by Rexi84 »

Came across this show while looking through a magazine, not heard of it before but sounds like it could have potential so could be a good shout for a run out to blow the cobwebs away.

Myself and Keith managed to call in at this 'show'....... the following pictures capture how, er, mediocre it was........ in fact, it took me longer to upload the photos than it did to walk around the show...

Some nice stuff in there nonetheless, Ian. Although I had no idea new "Beetles" were retro. Or Nissan Figaros for that matter :? That Z looks tasty though. And the Buick Super

Did they charge admission, lol?

a fiver on the gate... 4 quid in advance so worth that for a look around.... to be fair, it's a newish event and the weather wasn't brill... maybe it needs time to get established..... we went in our RX7's but left them in the car park.

The thing that struck me was the complete lack of atmosphere :?
That fc was driving in as I was driving out, looked tidy.
I went to a show yesterday with a huge mix of vehicles including trucks, busses and tractors. The place had a buzz about it as soon as I got there, much better.
