if anybody fancies a top day out for seeing hundreds of cars and attractions suitable for all the family next weekend, the superb, annual Kimbolton Charity Classic show is just the ticket!

held in the grounds of Kimbolton Castle (easily located along the sign posted A1 on the Cambs/Beds border) the show is jointly run by the Sporting Bears motor club who will be offering "Dream Rides" in everything from classics to supercars for a small donation to childrens charities (superb fun, and an excellent selection of interesting cars usually too) there will also be circa 700+ cars on display from various clubs too (a PHEA group will be there too!)
a craft fair, trade/independant stalls, refreshments, snacks, beer tent and live ring entertainment will be available throughout the day too so theres something for everyone
also for aviation fans there will also be a battle of britain memorial flypast from a Lancaster, Spitfire and Hurricane this year too
a diplay not to be missed!

please follow the link on the Bears homepage for more info,

Unfortunately ca't make Kimbolton this year (really enjoyed last years doing the dream rides) as I'm up in Birmingham for the weekend.
Shame as it'd have been nice to show the Chim off one more time before she goes up for sale in August!
shame about that Tony, the Dream Ride last year was good fun too!
got a potential replacement lined up for the Chim yet by ny chance?...

t'was some really nice, unusual and interesting cars to be found yet again in the vast show (P5B Coupe, CE Merc and Lotus M50 Prototype were faves of mine)

i was one of those unsuspecting passengers who went for a blast with Firesafety Dave too!,
