Wheels Day, Aldershot, Good Friday

[Motown Junk]

10am to 4pm £5pp Rushmoor Arena

1st big show of the year - Muscle Cars (let's no get into the "what's a muscle car" debate here ), Rods, Customs, Classics, Pick Ups, Vettes, Vipers, British Tin, VW's etc etc

Autojumble, Clothing (Retro to those nice T shirts with Eagles and Wolves on), specialist magazines , scale models (they're not toys I tell myself), burgers and the Hogs Back Brewery mobile bar

Big, big queues if you're not early, but well worth it.

How early would you recommend? Is it kind of a show area then public parking or say if you rolled up in something suitable can you park on the showground?

If you've got something decent and want to park on the showfield you really need to be there by 9.00

The marshalls have a lot of discretion about what goes on the showfield and what gets told to use the public car park. A lot of different clubs meet at Tesco's down the road for brekkie than head off about 8.30.

I'll be there.....going with my mate in his '47 Plymouth ragtop as per usual.

[BLUETHUNDER]

Looks like the Corvette will be out again.

Went last year, was a massive turnout... The stewards seem to steer anything un-Yank or interesting to the public car-park, so no chavv'd up saxos, fiestas or japs on display...

Might go this year.....

Normally 1200+ cars, trucks and bikes there, so get there early to avoid big queues!!

OK thanks for that, I guess it depends on what the marshalls class as decent, I'll be in my Chrysler 300C SRT8. I reckon if I drive in with the bonnet open it might persuade them!

They'll probably let you in with that if you get there early enough. They let me in with my Mustang.

I went two years ago.
Great show and weather.

But the gridlock traffic jam sitting for ages and going nowhere put me off, only to end up parked down the back of the area.

Have a good day.

[crisisjez]

Will be taking Mental Betty and the 68 Firebird.....see ya there

[IROC-Z]

I was supposed to going but off to Scotland tomorrow on holiday, a friend has a 1966 GT350 replica and I was looking forward to cruising up in convoy! Oh well maybe next year.

Someone post plenty of photos!

Down to the stewards who they let in, but Magnum's are pretty rare....
Even if you don't get in the Arena, tons of stuff to see but Leeds to Hampshire is a loooooong way.

[rusal]

[Motown Junk]

Bit soggy, took a few pics - will post up soon
