Next Sunday (3rd July), 1200hrs at Nantwich Football Club.

£2 entry per car.

Not been before, looks like it gets a good turnout. Think I'll give it a try this year, possibly go to Liverpool C&C in the morning then onto this. It says family friendly too, maybe there is a bouncy castle or something...

I've seen the notice for that, I just don't get why they've chosen to hold it on the same day as another car show that's only 3 miles away. I just assume it's more for modern stuff than classics, which seems to be the case from the advert I saw on FB for it. I'd think of going to it if it wasn't for the clash of dates.

I hope it does well, but I've done two other shows on that location (the old static part of the Weaver Wander charity run, and the old Nantwich Festival of Transport was moved there once when the usual location was waterlogged) and although it's not far out of town, it doesn't get much passing interest. Or didn't for those shows, anyway - perhaps they'll promote it better.

Out of curiosity, is that the one at Tatton Park? I'll be taking the kids so I'll need to keep a 2 and 4 year old entertained.

No, it's on the back of a pub in Shavington - Tatton Park is quite a bit further and I think sometime in August for the big classic show.

We had a few cars later on in the afternoon that looked a bit more modern and might have come from the Nantwich car show - a yellow Mustang, a local black Challenger, some Focus RS and a grey 911. I heard it had been moved from the original venue to a nearby school car park due to large numbers of caravans on the football ground location.

I was surprised how few photos there were, especially considering the event was organised by a photographer. There are some on the Facebook page, and the photo of a white 918 with an iffy plate that I put in GG is from that event.

That's what I thought too.
