Well it's different I suppose....

Must have turned up late as I didn't see it.... And I would have remembered!

Yeah I must say, the attraction with fitting huge rims to cars nowadays doesn't float my boat either, especially on classics - but each to their own.

That one has a Viper V10 in it, and it is nicely done - but not for me

Agreed, someone did something similar to an E Type which was shown on Pistonheads, not my cup of tea...

Very entertaining. Thanks for posting.

Great editing and photography.
A month after you tend to forget the eclectic mix of cars that were there so a nice reminder.
Thanks to both.
Cheers, Pewe.

Anyone know if this on in 2014?
Nothing on their website.

[HorneyMX5]

It's not on their facebook page either so I've asked. I hope so!

[HorneyMX5]

They replied, it's on from 8am.

[zed4]

Yeah, I'll probably come if there's a good turn out. Will bring the TVR unless it's snowing.

[JonRB]

Having lived about 20 mins drive away for the past decade or more, I really should try to attend for the first time. If I can manage not to be hungover on 1st January for once.

It's an annual event so the thread gets resurrected annually. As onyx39 says, there's no point starting a new thread each year.

And, it gives people the opportunity to see what they missed from previous years, and hopefully encourages them to show up next year (2014).

Freezing cold last year (but sunny), monsoon conditions (only for the drive home after 3pm) in 2012; it has still been one of the best events I have attended the last two years.

I see cars here that I haven't seen in any other local shows before, all eras, all types, fantastic.

What time do people hang around until?

[HorneyMX5]

I normally hang around until 10:30 to 11:00.
