I'm going to that, my display pass arrived the other day. Usually a good autojumble there.

A fabulous NEW FEATURE for 2014, "The Passion for Power - Dream Cars Pavillion", a large under cover display area for the finest high performance, competition and super cars including privately entered cars, club stand exhibits and top mare dealer displays including MCLAREN, BENTLEY & ROLLS ROYCE. This 1,000+ square metre pavillion will be crammed full with the rarest, most exotic and exciting cars.

This sounds good, I think I'll go and have a look tomorrow. And looking forward to seeing all the usual attendees/clubs as well.

Weathers not looking too charitable, but the wijit three will be going. Should be some nice things to see there.

[Some Gump]

No annual pictures of the Supercar replicas club stand? That's normally a hoot...

[thepickle]

This looked good I thought

[wijit]

The "250 gto" was quite a sight too!

[Some Gump]

To be fair, I don't mind the replicas of the true classics - there's a point to them because they are bringing something truly unattainable.

It's the comedy MR355's with 6" spacers, 19" rims with teeny tiny discs, and plastic fake ferrari engines under the engine cover that is amusing. Often accessorized with a Ferrari hat and red puffa jacket, the owners have ultimately spent a lot of money to make a fairly PH car much worse, whilst looking like a dogs dinner. Hell, for the price of an MR355 you could probably pick up a Mondial. They might not be the most desirable Ferrari ever made, but they;re still the real deal and sound epic with the right exhaust..

The Pantera was in the For Sale section - did anyone find out what they were asking for it?

[JeffreyB]

It was'nt for sale. The owner parked there because there was plenty of space!
At least I discovered that I don't fit in a Pantera - or not unless I find one with dropped floor pans.
